Worked example

A family that hosts cookouts for ten and wants one centerpiece is better served by the Arteflame with cooktop: steaks on the hot center, vegetables on the cooler outer ring. A couple on a townhouse patio who want a fire most evenings with less smoke drifting to the neighbors are better served by a Breeo X19 or X24.

Frequently asked questions

Is Arteflame or Breeo better?

They solve different problems. Breeo builds double-wall smokeless fire pits for a cleaner burning fire, from 19 to 42 inch sizes. Arteflame builds a 40 inch open bowl that turns into a flat-top grill with a removable cooktop. Choose Breeo for less smoke, Arteflame for cooking for a crowd.

Is Arteflame smokeless?

No. Arteflame is an open bowl fire pit and grill. Smoke depends mostly on dry, seasoned hardwood and a hot fire. If smoke on your patio is the main concern, a double-wall design like Breeo is built for that, though no wood fire is fully smoke free.

Can you cook on a Breeo?

Yes, with accessories. Breeo sells the Outpost grill arm and Searplate griddle for many models, and the Y Series works with the Searplate Griddle 19 and Outpost 19. Breeo notes the Luxeve is not compatible with those cooking accessories. Arteflame builds the cooktop into the design.

Are both made in the USA?

Both makers state it in writing. Breeo says every fire pit is designed and built in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania from American-sourced steel. Arteflame says its fire pits are built in Phoenix, Arizona. We link each statement on the product pages.

What warranty do Arteflame and Breeo offer?

Arteflame lists a 3 year limited warranty on its 40 inch fire pits and grills. Breeo lists a limited lifetime warranty on its Zentro insert page. Check the maker's current warranty page for the exact model, because terms differ by product and finish.

Which is easier to move?

Breeo, by a wide margin at the small end. The Y Series weighs 31 pounds with collapsible legs. Arteflame grills ship at about 250 to 400 pounds and are meant to stay put, often as a patio centerpiece.
