US 2025/0075912 A1 · CONVERTIBLE SMOKELESS FIRE PIT

Abstract

A fire pit configured to be convertible between a solid fuel burning mode and a fluid fuel burning mode, the fire pit including a wall section at least partially defining a combustion chamber, the wall section including an outer wall and an inner wall defining an airflow vent, and one or more intakes and one or more outputs which may be configured to transport ambient air to the combustion chamber. The fire pit includes an end wall defining a closed end portion of the combustion chamber. A fluid fuel conversion kit is configured to convert the fire pit between the solid fuel burning mode and the fluid fuel burning mode, the fluid fuel conversion kit including a burner configured for removable supportive engagement with at least one of the wall section or the end wall and a fuel supply line configured to supply fluid fuel from a fluid fuel source to the burner.

Dependent claims

A fire pit configured to be convertible between a solid fuel burning mode and a fluid fuel burning mode, the fire pit comprising:

a wall section that at least partially defines a combustion chamber, the wall section comprising:
an outer wall defining an exterior boundary of an airflow vent within the wall section;
an inner wall defining an interior boundary of the airflow vent;
one or more intakes configured to intake ambient air to the airflow vent;
and
one or more outputs in the inner wall configured to output the ambient air from the airflow vent to the combustion chamber;
an end wall defining a closed end portion of the combustion chamber;
and
a fluid fuel conversion kit configured to convert the fire pit between the solid fuel burning mode and the fluid fuel burning mode, the fluid fuel conversion kit comprising:
a burner configured for removable supportive engagement with at least one of the wall section or the end wall, the burner configured to discharge a fluid fuel for combustion;
and
a fuel supply line configured to supply fluid fuel from a fluid fuel source to the burner, wherein, when in the fluid fuel burning mode, the fuel supply line does not pass through the airflow vent.

A method of converting a smokeless fire pit between a solid fuel burning mode and a fluid fuel burning mode, the method comprising:

arranging a burner relative to a combustion chamber defined by a wall section and an end wall, the wall section at least partially defining the combustion chamber, the end wall defining a closed end portion of the combustion chamber, the burner being configured for removable supportive engagement with at least one of the wall section or the end wall and configured to discharge a fluid fuel for combustion when in the fluid fuel burning mode, the wall section comprising:
an outer wall defining an exterior boundary of an airflow vent within the wall section;
an inner wall defining an interior boundary of the airflow vent;
one or more intakes configured to intake ambient air to the airflow vent;
and
one or more outputs in the inner wall configured to output the ambient air from the airflow vent to the combustion chamber;
and
routing a fuel supply line between a fluid fuel source and the burner to supply the fluid fuel from the fluid fuel source to the burner in the fluid fuel burning mode, wherein the fuel supply line does not pass through the airflow vent when the fire pit is in the fluid fuel burning mode.
