Project Aim
Explore a compact fire-pit format that can be transported, deployed and stored more easily than a conventional fixed fire pit.
SOLIDSTEAD Concept Project
Portable Low-Smoke Fire Pit
A compact, portable fire-pit concept developed around fabricated steel construction, controlled airflow and practical transport.
Design approach
Portable fabricated construction with airflow in mind.
The concept focuses on creating a durable, transportable product while using an enclosed combustion path and controlled air entry to support cleaner burning and reduce visible smoke. Its performance would need to be established through physical prototype testing.
Key Considerations
Airflow path, combustion-chamber geometry, stability, heat exposure, safe clearances, portability and practical cleaning.
Potential Manufacturing Route
Fabricated steel construction using cut, formed and joined components, followed by a suitable heat-resistant finish where required.
Validation
Smoke reduction, surface temperature, stability, material thickness, distortion and safe operating clearances require physical prototype testing before use.
