Overview

Breeo designs and manufactures smokeless fire pits, live-fire cooking accessories, and outdoor furniture. The company pioneered smokeless fire pit technology with its first model in 2011 and focuses on products for backyard and backcountry use. It operates from Pennsylvania, emphasizing domestic manufacturing and customization options like the build-your-own fire pit model.¹²⁴⁵

History

The first smokeless fire pit was created in 2011 by Andy Kaufman and Jr. Troyer under Camp King Fire Pits in Ohio. In 2013, Jonathan Miller partnered with Andy to form Breeo Industries in 2014, launching the Rethinking Fire Tour to promote the product. Manufacturing shifted to Pennsylvania in 2016 via merger with PennEagle Fabrication owned by Amos Stoltzfus, forming Breeo, LLC after Andy sold his share. Key developments include the X Series, SearPlate cooking rim, first stainless steel fire pit in 2017, and 2022 launches of Y Series, Fireside Furniture, and accessories.¹⁴
