How Does It Work?
The PyroPod achieves its smokeless burn through a carefully engineered balance of airflow, heat retention, and secondary combustion. Inside its double-walled construction, fresh air enters through strategic openings and travels between the inner and outer walls. As the fire inside burns, the radiant heat warms this incoming air before it ever reaches the flame. By the time it re-enters the combustion chamber, this preheated, oxygen-rich stream is ready to ignite the microscopic particles that would otherwise escape as smoke. Instead of lingering as an irritating haze, these particles are fully consumed, producing a cleaner, hotter flame. The result is a more efficient burn, reduced emissions, and a far more enjoyable outdoor gathering—warmth and ambiance without the discomfort of drifting smoke. Through this thoughtful design, The PyroPod provides an elevated fire experience that remains simple, natural, and satisfying.
