SmokeLESS Wood Burning Fire Pit

Sale price$3,200.00

An outdoor heirloom for nights that linger

Inspired by a time when outdoor life unfolded slowly and gatherings centered around fire, the Sea Island Forge Fire Kettle reimagines a Southern classic for modern entertaining. Its form traces back to cast-iron syrup kettles once used across the South to boil cane juice into molasses—vessels that, when their working days were done, were often repurposed as fire pits. 

Broad-shouldered and beautifully proportioned, the Fire Kettle creates a natural sense of place—an outdoor hearth that draws people in and gives evenings a center of gravity. It’s as suited to a quiet glass of bourbon at dusk as it is to a full house gathered for oysters, sausages, or a simple meal cooked over live fire.

Crafted for both durability and performance, the kettle is designed to withstand years of use while developing a rich, honest patina that only improves with time. Sea Island Forge’s patent-pending smokeLESS™ valve encourages efficient airflow for a hotter, cleaner burn, keeping smoke at bay and conversation uninterrupted. 

This is not a seasonal accessory or a piece to pack away. The Sea Island Forge Fire Kettle is meant to live outside, anchoring gatherings year-round. It’s a modern heirloom rooted in Southern tradition—one that quietly reminds us that the best moments happen when the fire is lit and there’s no reason to rush inside.

      Craftsman Profile

      Sea Island Forge

      Steve Schoettle is the founder and guiding hand behind Sea Island Forge, a company born from a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship and the communal power of fire. Based along the Georgia coast, Steve’s work is shaped as much by place as by process—where outdoor living, slow evenings, and gathering around a flame are woven into everyday life.

      Steve started out in the architectural metalwork business, whose work can be found in spaces like the historic Cloister resort. As his craft evolved, so did his vision. Inspired by long evenings around wood fire built in historic syrup kettles (originally used to cook down local sugar cane into sugar and molassas), the couple debuted their first kettle-style fire pit at a local farmers market in 2014 — a modern reinterpretation of a communal hearth designed for gathering, cooking, and conversation.

      Under Steve’s leadership, Sea Island Forge has grown from bespoke ironwork to heirloom-quality outdoor hearths and accessories that marry function with living tradition. His work now centers on crafting fire tools and fire pits that are as enduring as the memories forged around them — practical art meant to be passed down through generations.
