Solid Fire Pit, Minor Adjustments

This StarBBQ 24" fire pit base is a beast! The Santa Maria rim is fantastic for adjusting the heat, and the raised searing grate gets a beautiful crust on steaks. My only minor gripe is the assembly instructions could be a little clearer, but once it's together, it's rock solid.

Rebecca X.★★★★☆December 12, 2025
Great for Backyard Grilling

We've been using this Sunstone fire pit for a few weeks now and it's really elevated our backyard cooking. The smokeless design actually works, which is a huge plus for not smelling like a campfire after every meal. The versatility with the ExGrate is awesome for different types of cooks.

Ryan B.★★★★☆February 16, 2022
Impressive Build Quality and Performance

As a contractor, I appreciate good craftsmanship, and this StarBBQ unit delivers. The materials feel heavy-duty and built to last. We cooked a whole chicken on the Santa Maria rim last weekend and it was perfectly juicy with crispy skin, thanks to the even heat.

Versatile and Fun to Use

This 24-inch fire pit is a game-changer for our outdoor kitchen. We've used it for everything from searing burgers on the raised grate to slow-cooking ribs with the ExGrate. It's truly a versatile hub and makes outdoor cooking an absolute pleasure.

Wow, just wow! This Sunstone StarBBQ fire pit is everything I hoped for and more. The smokeless feature is incredible, and the Santa Maria rim with the searing grate gives me so much control over my cooks. This is easily the best outdoor cooking investment I've made.

Q
What kind of fuel can I use with the Sunstone StarBBQ 24"? Can I use wood for the fire pit, and charcoal for grilling?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Absolutely! The Sunstone® StarBBQ™ 24″ Smokeless Fire Pit Base is incredibly versatile in its fuel options. You can use standard firewood for a cozy, smokeless fire pit experience, and high-quality lump charcoal or briquettes are perfect for achieving that authentic BBQ flavor on the Raised Searing Grate or ExGrate. We recommend avoiding lighter fluid directly on the stainless steel, opting for natural fire starters instead.

Q
My current grill is a nightmare to clean. How easy is it to maintain and clean this 'Ultimate Versatile Outdoor Cooking Hub' after using it for grilling or as a fire pit?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Cleaning your Sunstone® StarBBQ™ is designed to be hassle-free. The stainless steel components, including the Santa Maria Rim, Raised Searing Grate, and ExGrate, can be easily wiped down or scrubbed with a grill brush after each use. For ash removal from the fire pit base, simply wait for it to cool completely, then use a small shovel or shop vac. The smokeless design also means less residue buildup compared to traditional fire pits.

How difficult is it to set up the Sunstone StarBBQ 24" Smokeless Fire Pit Base once it arrives, especially with all the different grate options?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Setting up your Sunstone® StarBBQ™ 24″ Smokeless Fire Pit Base is surprisingly straightforward. The base itself is largely pre-assembled, and the Santa Maria Rim, Raised Searing Grate, and ExGrate are designed for easy, tool-free placement and removal. You'll mainly be unboxing, positioning it, and then choosing your preferred cooking setup for the day. We recommend having two people for initial placement due to its robust construction.
