Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883

4.5

3 sources2 derived$177.31as of Aug 1

Outdoor Gear Lab's favorite portable propane fire pit is the Outland Mega, which scored 82/100 in their 17-pit test and landed just behind two Solo Stoves overall. At 24 inches across with 58,000 BTUs of output, it bridges the gap between a camping firebowl and a true patio centerpiece. A pre-attached 10-foot hose, CSA fire-ban certification and 7-9 hour burn time per 20-lb tank make it the easy pick when you want fire without firewood.

Strengths

— Outdoor Gear Lab ranked it #3 of 17 at 82/100 — the top-rated propane pit in their 2026 test
— 58,000 BTU output measured at 600-700F surface temperature, enough to warm 5-6 people
— 10-second push-button ignition works in any weather from 30F to 80F

Watch-outs

— Radiant heat does not match a true wood fire — the reviewer at BackyardToasty said 'For weekend fires where I want the full experience, wood is still king'
— Manual ignition only (no battery-powered starter), so you light it with the included flint each time
— 20-lb propane tank is the practical fuel size, which is not included and needs storage

Ranked #4 in Best Fire Pits

Solo Stove Yukon 2.0

4.4

3 sourcesall derived$689.99as of Jul 31

Outdoor Gear Lab made Solo Stove's flagship 27-inch smokeless wood pit its overall pick for 2026, ahead of 16 competitors on both heat output and smoke reduction. The Yukon 2.0 keeps the original's double-wall airflow and finally adds the removable ash pan owners begged for. It's the priciest pick in this lineup, but the lifetime warranty and the way it handles full-size logs get a backyard pit as close to a true campfire as you can get without the smoke.

Strengths

— Outdoor Gear Lab's #1 of 17 tested fire pits at 84/100, with infrared readings up to 1,000F and heat dispersion past 6 feet
— Double-wall 360-degree airflow burns off smoke better than any other pit ODL tested
— 27-inch diameter inner bowl accepts 22-inch logs for true backyard bonfires that warm 6+ people

Watch-outs

— At 42 lbs with no built-in carry handles, moving it across the yard is awkward
— Stand sold separately and is required to protect wood decks from radiated floor heat
— Wood pellets and small kindling burn through fast at this firebox volume

How they stack up

Outland Living Firebowl Mega 883

The Mega 883 is essentially a scaled-up Outland Firebowl 893 Deluxe — same 58,000 BTU burner, same 10-foot hose, but 5 inches wider, 11 lbs heavier, and built to live on a patio rather than ride in a truck bed. Versus the Solo Stove Yukon 2.0, the Mega gives up real flame ambiance and radiant heat in exchange for instant ignition, zero smoke, and use during fire bans.

Solo Stove Yukon 2.0

The Yukon outclasses the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 on heat output and group capacity — its 27-inch diameter takes 22-inch logs versus the Bonfire's 16-inch max — but costs roughly $150 more and is harder to move. Compared to the Outland Living Mega 883, the Yukon delivers more radiant warmth and zero ongoing fuel cost, while the Mega ignites in 10 seconds and skips smoke management entirely.
