Adventuridge Tabletop Smokeless Fire Pit

Solo Stove brands itself as the “world’s most popular fire pits.” If you’ve ever seen or owned a Solo product, you know they’re nice. But you’ll pay a pretty penny for the privilege of owning a Solo fire pit. You’ll easily several hundred dollars, depending on the size you choose.

For several years now, Aldi has offered more affordable dupes of Solo products. Aldi has previously sold a Belavi Stainless Steel Portable Fire Pit. The grocer also recently advertised a Belavi Glass Tabletop Fire Bowl that looks similar to another Solo product, although we have yet to see the Aldi version show up in stores.

The latest Solo imitation to show up in the weekly Aldi ad is a tabletop smokeless fire pit. This was scheduled to arrive in Aldi stores August 27th, 2025. We picked one up on the day it hit our local store’s shelves.

The Adventuridge Tabletop Smokeless Fire Pit is an Aldi Find. That means it’s in stores for just a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, it’s gone until whenever Aldi decides to bring it back. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that are not currently in stock at your local store.

The fire pit cost $29.99 in 2025. That’s the same price Aldi sold it for in 2024. That price is within the range of similar non-Solo-branded smokeless tabletop fire pits we found on Amazon.

This Aldi fire pit looks a lot like the Mesa model from Solo Stove, which currently costs between $99.99 and $119.99, depending on which size you get.

The name-brand Mesa comes in several color choices, and so does the Aldi model. The Aldi fire pit comes in black, green, red, or steel. I bought the green fire pit.

Here’s more information:

• Includes powder coated base, flame control ring, wood pallet adapter, and carrying bag
• Features stainless steel construction
• Offers smokeless technology
• Features no-tool assembly

The pit comes with a two-year warranty serviced by a company called GHP Group, which bills itself as leading manufacturer for products for outdoor cooking and living. For service, email customerservice@ghpgroupinc.com or call 1-877-447-4768.

This is sold under the Adventuridge brand. That’s not a company. Instead, it’s the name Aldi puts on various outdoor products it sells, which it sources from different suppliers.

Unpacking and Assembling the Fire Pit:

You’ll find several things inside the box: the fire pit itself, a flame control ring, a pellet adapter, a carrying bag, and base/leg pieces, and instruction manuals and warranty sheets in English and Spanish.

To assemble the fire pit, you fasten the four leg pieces into a central cross piece to form the base. Then, place the fire pit onto the base. If you’re burning wood pellets, you can add the pellet adapter into the fire pit. If you’re burning small pieces of wood, leave the pellet adapter out.

Using the Fire Pit:

There are two ways to use this fire pit. One: you can burn wood pellets in it. Two: you can burn wood chips or small pieces of wood in it.

My husband and I tried both methods, and they each have their advantages.

Note: while this is technically a tabletop fire pit, we did not use this on our patio table because a.) it’s glass-topped and we didn’t want the heat to potentially shatter it, and b.) we have a fabric umbrella that — even in the folded position — would have been too close to the flames for comfort. So, we set up the fire pit on our concrete patio.

While this pit is not large, if there is any slight breeze, it will make the flames lean out, so keep a reasonable safety margin around the fire pit.

Also of note: the manual says to not use water to put out the fire in this pit. Instead, to avoid damaging the fire pit, you need to let the fire burn out on its own. Since it’s small, it doesn’t take long for it to burn out.

Burning with wood pellets: 

I purchased some Traeger brand wood pellets from the smoker/grill accessory aisle at a local hardware store. Since the pellets are made for smoking meat and other foods, they’re also a safe fuel to use if you want to make s’mores over this fire pit.

The manual says to put fire starter inside the pellet adapter, then put the pellet adapter inside the fire pit and pack pellets around it, leaving the top of the pellet adapter uncovered.

We initially used dryer lint as our fire starter, but we packed it a little too densely inside the pellet adapter, and it also burned through so quickly that it didn’t allow time for the pellets to catch fire.

We let the fire pit cool a bit, then emptied it and put a store-bought block-style fire starter in the pellet adapter, then repacked the pellets. It all caught fire much better that time.

Burning with wood: 

I bought a bag of Weber brand wood from the smoker/grill aisle at my local hardware store, but you can use any type of wood that’s cut small enough. Again, because it’s wood intended for food preparation, we can make s’mores over the fire pit. We burned one time using only the Weber wood chips, and another time we transitioned from the wood chips and began feeding the fire small sticks from the kindling pile we keep for our regular fire pit. Either way works.

To make the fire with wood, the manual says to add a little wood to the fire pit, then add a fire starter on top of the wood and ignite it. Using this method, we found the block fire starter we used didn’t really burn down into where the wood was, and we had to add a lot of dryer lint to actually get the wood to light.

We tried again later and packed a little wood, then a block fire starter, and then a little more wood before lighting the fire starter. This worked better at helping some of the wood catch fire.

Our Thoughts:

This is a cool-looking fire pit, and its small size makes it a fun novelty. For the price, though, you might be better off buying a more traditional portable fire pit the next time Aldi sells one. This tabletop pit is so small that it quickly burns down to embers, and you’ll be feeding the fire at least every 5 to 10 minutes.

Also, while this is advertised as smokeless, it does sometimes produce a small to moderate amount of smoke, usually when adding new fuel. My family is pretty experienced with campfires and fire pits, so that’s not a big deal for us.

The Verdict:

The Adventuridge Tabletop Smokeless Fire Pit is a knockoff of a name-brand Solo fire pit model called the Mesa. This fire pit is small, and so is the resulting fire you’ll build in it using either pellets or wood chips. This fire pit looks cool, but unless you just really don’t have the space, we think a traditional fire pit offers a better experience.
