Description

The StarBBQ 24" Smokeless Fire Pit Base with Santa Maria Rim, Raised Searing Grate and ExGrate (STARBBQ-24FPBS-SMR-RSE-EXG) burns wood or charcoal with minimal smoke, thanks to patented airflow technology. It gives you adjustable searing and direct grilling in one unit.

A hand crank raises and lowers the Santa Maria rim for temperature control and self-basting. The raised V-Track searing grate handles high-heat searing and grill marks, and the ExGrate cooking grate is for direct grilling over the flames.

The 24" base is 304 stainless steel with a heat-resistant powder coating, and the set weighs about 75 lbs. The modular design works standalone, as a portable fire pit or built into a custom outdoor kitchen.

Solid fire pit, minor adjustments

This fire pit base is a beast. The Santa Maria rim is great for adjusting the heat and the raised searing grate puts a nice crust on steaks. Only gripe is the assembly instructions could be clearer, but once it's together it's rock solid.

Matt C.★★★★☆December 12, 2025
Smokeless really works

We've been using this fire pit for a few weeks now and it's made backyard cooking a lot more fun. The smokeless design actually works, so we don't smell like a campfire after every meal. The ExGrate is great for different kinds of cooks.

Holly O.★★★★☆February 16, 2022
Built right

I'm a contractor so I notice craftsmanship, and this one's built well. The materials feel heavy duty, like it'll last. We did a whole chicken on the Santa Maria rim last weekend and it came out juicy with crispy skin. Nice even heat.

Arturo L.★★★★☆September 8, 2014
Fun to cook on

This 24 inch fire pit has been a big upgrade for our outdoor kitchen. We've seared burgers on the raised grate and slow cooked ribs with the ExGrate. Really versatile and a pleasure to use.

Lori V.★★★★★April 19, 2018
Best thing I've bought for the backyard

This fire pit is everything I hoped for. The smokeless part is incredible, and between the Santa Maria rim and the searing grate I've got a lot of control over my cooks. Easily the best outdoor cooking purchase I've made.

Q
I'm spending over a thousand dollars on this. What kind of warranty or support do I get if something goes wrong?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A

Q
Can I burn wood in it as a fire pit and use charcoal when I grill?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Yes. Regular firewood works for a smokeless fire, and good lump charcoal or briquettes work for grilling on the raised searing grate or ExGrate. We'd skip putting lighter fluid directly on the stainless steel and use natural fire starters instead.

Q
How does this hold up to weather? What's it made from?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's mainly heavy gauge 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion very well. It's made to handle rain, snow and extreme temperatures without rusting or breaking down, as long as you take care of it.

Q
My current grill is a pain to clean. How easy is this one to clean after grilling or using it as a fire pit?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's pretty easy. The stainless parts, including the Santa Maria rim, raised searing grate and ExGrate, wipe down or scrub with a grill brush after each use. For ash, let the base cool completely, then scoop it out with a small shovel or use a shop vac. Because it's smokeless, you'll also get less residue buildup than with a regular fire pit.
Sunstone Metal Products support team
Q
Is it hard to set up with all the different grates?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Not really. The base comes largely pre-assembled, and the Santa Maria rim, raised searing grate and ExGrate just set in place and lift out without tools. Mostly you'll unbox it, position it and pick how you want to cook that day. It's heavy, so we'd have two people for the first placement.
