Jesus Christ dude! You have the best informative videos! All YouTubers please take notes! Straight to the point, great info, information that matters, no stupid jokes, no 30mins video of pets or talking about nothing at all then shows 1min about the product in high speed?

[gcfun]

This was the 5th video I saw on the Breeo and is by far the best! Thanks for sharing your experience with those of us who were on the fence. Great content!

BRAVO
BRAVO
BRAVO my BOY.

VERY INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE, EDUCATIONAL and with HUMILITY and a SENSE of HUMOR.

[SB-txlg]

Just keep in mind if you go the stainless route:

A brand new stainless steel fire pit still has its protective top layer. Ones you had a couple of fires in it you will get rust. Especially on the inside surfaces. No matter the brand.

I am not living even near an ocean, always have my Breeo under a cover and it does not rain much where I live. I am religious about removing ashes. No water inside of course. Low humidity air. It sits on pavers.
After not even 15 burns over a year the X in my 24 x-series is rusting like hell.
In the Breeo and associate videos it often seems like "a little cleaning and it will shine like new because it is stainless".

After a deep cleaning the outside surely looks better than before, but especially the inside will continue rusting. You cannot really get rid of that.
Stainless steel will rust - because of the heat the metal is exposed to it can't really be prevented. I never thought much about that before. When I thought about stainless I had boat equipment and pool ladders in my mind. I thought they don't really rust. Those things might get a patina over time. Some oxidation marks, but that should be it. A fire pit however is exposed to extreme heat.

So no way Breeo holds up a lifetime if that is what you think. Their limited lifetime warranty only covers the first 5 years against rusting through. So that is the life span they believe in. I checked that after my purchase. My fault.
It does not mean yours will be unusable after 5 years, but according to the warranty chances are pretty high. Too high for Breeo and their warranty.

Breeo's warranty is not like Leatherman's or Zippo's.

I initially got attracted by all their well-made youtube ads and perfectly placed texts in forums. Don't get me wrong. A Breeo surely is nice, but to my mind they are overpriced. The overall quality is not as they tell in their videos. 304 stainless is the cheapest stainless you get, most bottom edges remain sharp, plenty of parts are just bent to form rather than being welded and the weldings look mediocre - some even really bad. It is made in the U.S. which should be good, but honestly...some of the Chinese weldings look better. Considering the price point I am not impressed. And you might be mistake if you believe it wouldn't rust. Any stainless fire pit will rust. I should have known or informed myself better.

My initial euphoria is gone and I probably would not get myself another Breeo. I still like it, but considering they money I have spent, I expected more and found out that you can get similar for a lot less.

Costco has a stainless steel pit for under 300.
Solo Stove costs only half of a Breeo of the same size. And there are other brands popping up.
I guess none of them is better than a Breeo, but also none of them really is worse. You surely get thinner materials, but for a fraction of the costs of a Breeo you still can get a new one after 5-8 years. No illusions, in the end Breeo will maybe last 2 or 3 years longer due to the thicker steel. But then even a Breeo most likely will need a replacement.

That said, I don't want to talk Breeo down or Solo or whatever brand up. I just say I didn't do my homework before buying, paid big money and learned my lesson. Just be realistic with your expectations and you'll be okay.

Anyway, enjoy your fires and the nights you spend with your loved ones.

You talked me into a Breeo. It's so much more beefy than the Solo. This this is gonna last me a lifetime!

[richardhaines]

Balanced and honest appraisal of the stated products. Thank you.

[garysobczak]

Great video Brian. You sold me on the Breeo!

[slappyx]

That was a perfect video. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you. Breeo owes you.

[MrKCWalker]

Brian this is an excellent video! Thanks so much for the review and your opinions. I so wanted to buy a fire pit last month because my sister-in-law bought a Solo. I went into heavy research mode and thought the Breeo was a definite winner, I'm glad to have your review confirming my thoughts. However, I end up buying a nice chiminea which puts out a great amount of heat, without smoke. I still would love the Breeo for the fun of cooking. The chiminea is good for hotdogs and s'mores but not so good for scallops! :-)

[thirtysixtyhundred]

great review. Thanks for the input. My son has one and absolutely loves it and keeps buying accessories.

[ryanptimleck]

You do a really good job at reviewing the Breeo🤙

[jasonalgier]

I purchased a Breeo, I cant wait use it. I am thankful it's made near where I use to live in Pa. Plus I have plans to use my cast iron skillets on it.

[sloane]

Looking into buying a Breeo or a Solo Stove now, and your videos have been insanely helpful! Really informative and well made. Also, really enjoyed the bloopers in the first video.

[ericswild]

You do a nice job with this series of informative videos...

[manncarter]

Like videos that gets straight to the point with no bull crap...most of all I like that it is made in the U.S.of A. ...😉

[curtismayfield]

I got one and it came quickly, the quality is unmatched, I'm getting the retaining rocks to surround it. I highly recommend it this is not a piece of junk.

[scubaseppy]

What a professional review, great job with this review. I work for a us manufacturer as well, specifically a stainless fab shop. I didn't get the combo of corten / ss but I get it now and it looks cool af..

[paulharper]

Great video Brian. Anxiously waiting for Breeo to build and ship my X series that I ordered 1 1/2 weeks ago.

[stanleymorton]

By the way, your review help me decide in going with the Breeo. Great review and information!!!
