Description

The StarBBQ 48" Smokeless Fire Pit Insert (STARBBQ-48SFPR) is sized for large outdoor spaces. It gives hotter, clearer flames with little visible smoke, and its raised base lets primary airflow reach the fire for better combustion.

It measures 55-1/2" diameter x 11-1/4" H, needs a 50" diameter x 13" H cut-out and weighs about 65 lbs. The insert is cold-rolled steel with a high-temperature powder-coat finish. It drops into standard stacked-stone fire pits or retaining wall blocks, and the 4-piece flat pack assembles in under 10 minutes without special tools.

It burns charcoal or wood, and you can add Post-Mount Swivel Grillers later if you want to cook over the fire. See our warranty page for coverage.

Receiving Your Shipment

After the driver leaves, please immediately open and inspect the items themselves. If you find any damage, contact us with the following:

  • A photo of the item unboxed with the damage visible

No more smoke in our faces

Huge improvement for our backyard. We used to get smoked out every time we had a fire and now we can just sit and enjoy it. The big size is great when we have people over and it feels really solid.

Sonia E.★★★★☆February 16, 2013
Works great, leveling took some fiddling

It really is smokeless, which is great. Fits our custom fire pit well, but getting it perfectly level took more fiddling than I expected. Once it's in, the clean burn is worth the effort.

Earl★★★★★July 14, 2021
Best fire pit we've had

Seriously impressed with this 48 inch insert. We have people over a lot and not dodging smoke all night is a big deal. Puts out good heat and the flame looks nice and even.

Nick R.★★★★☆September 4, 2016
Works as advertised, pricey

Does exactly what it says, the fire pit is way cleaner now. Feels heavy duty and well made. Only hesitation was the price, but for how well it works I think it was worth it.

Brandon S.★★★★★June 18, 2017
Big difference on our patio

Finally got this installed and what a difference. No more moving chairs around to get out of the smoke, just a nice warm fire. It's the centerpiece of the patio now and everyone loves it.

Q
How do I keep the smokeless part working? Do I need special cleaners?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
After each use, let it cool completely and clean the ash and debris out of the bottom. Now and then, wipe the stainless with a damp cloth and mild soap. You normally don't need any special products. The key to the smokeless performance is keeping the vents clear so air can flow.

Q
What's the insert made of, and how does it handle the weather?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's heavy duty, corrosion resistant stainless steel. It's built to handle intense heat, rain and snow without rusting or breaking down, and with proper care it'll last you years.
