It’s almost time for the Black Friday holiday shopping chaos, but early discounts are already live at retailers like Amazon, Huckberry, Walmart, and many others. The trend continues with Dick's Sporting Goods—the retailer just turned on its own holiday sale and is marking down everything from Nike fleece to running shoes and even bestselling camping gear. But there's one product we were surprised to see on sale at Dick's—it's BioLite’s upgraded fire pit and it's nearly $200 off right now.
BioLite’s 27-inch FirePit is on sale for $105, which is 65% off of the retail price of $300. This portable and handy smokeless fire pit uses a battery-powered fan to create a fire that customers say “burns clean and hot—a crazy concept that works" and is “easy to keep clean.” This fire pit has earned a 4.2-star average after more than 200 reviews. More BioLite lighting gear is on sale at Dick's during the Black Friday sale as well, including this LED lantern that's 33% off and a great complement to the natural light of the fire pit.
Having a portable fire pit is great for enjoying dancing flames and warmth, whether in your backyard or out in the woods. This fire pit is especially amazing because not only does it give you a warm, smokeless fire by way of a battery-powered fan, but you can also use the powerpack to recharge your digital devices via USB. The fan, which can run for 24 hours, helps even wet wood burn cleaner and hotter so there’s less smoke. Air is brought into the fire with 51 air jets arranged around the pit to improve combustion. The fine mesh on the sides of the fire pit allows you to see the fire’s flames more clearly and increase heat output. You can also cook on it with charcoal or wood with the included grill grate, and the legs fold up to make transportation a snap.
Happy campers like that the fire pit is simple to set up and maintain. “It took me a few minutes to set up the fire pit and…the trapdoor made cleaning easy,” a shopper said. Another satisfied customer said, “Lights fast, very little smoke.” The warmth it produces was also a winner: One shopper said it “throws off ample heat” and another said it “works like a furnace with that blower.”
Other shoppers were impressed by the design. “The legs collapse for easy storage. I was surprised at how fast the fire pit cooled down so I did not have to wait until the next morning to put the fire pit in the garage.” Another concurred, noting that it is “solid, well designed, well-made—adjustable heat intensity is just fantastic.”
If you love the idea of having a fire ready to go no matter where you are, this portable fire pit from BioLite is just the ticket. It’s light and folds up for easy transport, has a battery-powered fan to help fires start and stay burning hot, and is an amazing 65% off. With its savings of nearly $200, it's bound to sell out soon, so be sure to pick one up ASAP.
