herQs Ignites the UK – The Smokeless Fire Pit That Brings People Together.
There’s something deeply comforting about gathering around a fire. It’s primal, timeless, and somehow makes any evening feel more special. But if you’ve ever sat too close to a traditional fire pit, you’ll know the downsides: stinging eyes, smoky clothes, and that inevitable moment when you have to move your chair because the wind has turned against you.
That’s why I was intrigued when I got the chance to try the herQs Mighty, the smallest in their new range of smokeless fire pits now available in the UK. Designed to burn hotter and cleaner using clever airflow technology, these fire pits promise all the glow and warmth without the cloud of smoke – and after testing it out, I can happily say it delivers.
The Mighty arrived neatly tucked inside its own sleek black carry bag, making it not just practical but stylishly discreet when not in use. At just 18 cm wide, it’s compact, lightweight, and surprisingly powerful for its size. Perfect for a patio, balcony or tabletop, it creates an instant focal point for 2–4 people to gather around.
What I loved most, though, was what it gave back: time outside. It’s so easy, especially in the UK, to retreat indoors the moment the evenings get chilly. But with the herQs fire pit, I found myself spending longer in the garden – chatting, laughing, and simply soaking up the fresh air. There’s something very grounding about pausing to enjoy your own outdoor space, even if it’s just for a quiet hour after work.
And of course, it’s not just about me. A fire pit brings people together – family, friends, neighbours – whoever happens to be there. Without the smoke, the experience feels effortless. You can sit close to the flames without constantly dodging plumes of ash, which makes it far easier to relax and enjoy the moment.
Available in four sizes, from the Mighty to the impressive Chief, built for big gatherings of up to 12 people. Whether you want a simple way to make your evenings outdoors last longer or a dramatic centrepiece for parties, there’s an option to fit your garden and lifestyle.
In a world where so much of our leisure time is indoors and screen based, I found this little fire pit to be a wonderful reminder of the simple pleasure of being outside. It encourages connection – with nature, with others, and even with yourself.
Here is the perfect excuse to pause, step into the garden, and create small moments that feel memorable. And the best part? I can enjoy the warmth and glow without waking up the next morning smelling like a campfire!
