Is there anything Ninja isn’t capable of doing? Since its inception in 1994, the company has grown significantly and expanded its lineup from steamers and upright vacuums to a wide range of kitchen appliances. However, just when we thought it would remain in the kitchen niche, the brand made a bold foray into the outdoor space. After launching its first-ever grill and backpack cooler, the brand has now announced its first-ever outdoor heater and fire pit. Dubbed Ninja Fireside360, the propane-powered outdoor heater and fire pit combines powerful heating, smokeless flames, and minimal maintenance in one sleek unit.
Positioned as a competitor to established brands like Solo Stove and Cuisinart, the Fireside360 offers a versatile, user-friendly solution for year-round outdoor comfort, making it an exciting addition to patios and backyards. On the functionality front, the Ninja Fireside360 delivers an impressive 80,000 BTUs of 360-degree warmth through its proprietary ‘HeatZone Technology’, ensuring consistent, head-to-toe heat within a 13-foot radius. This eliminates cold spots, making it ideal for chilly evenings or large gatherings.
Unlike traditional wood-burning fire pits, this model is completely smokeless, eliminating issues like burning eyes, smoky clothes, or lingering odors. This is possible courtesy of a 20lb propane tank (not included) that, whilst powering the fire pit, produces no ash, embers, or residue behind. Additionally, the unit features a cool-to-touch base that allows safe use on surfaces like grass and stone.
Fireside360 has versatility written all over it. The 2-in 1 outdoor heater and fire pit offers three operation modes controlled by an intuitive front dial. “You can control the flame and the heat at the turn of the dial to adjust your environment to your preferred settings,” the company states.
Users can choose ‘Flame Only’ for a spark-free, adjustable flame to create ambiance on warmer nights, ‘Heat Only’ for powerful warmth without visible flames, or a combined ‘Flame and Heat mode’ for both coziness and aesthetic appeal. Speaking of aesthetics, the stove isn’t an eyesore and can be placed anywhere from the balcony to the backyard.

Configuration-wise, the heater cum fire pit measures 28.8 inches high and 21.8 inches wide. The Fireside360 combines a compact, stylish design with durability to withstand outdoor elements. Its lightweight build allows for easy portability, while a 28-hour runtime on a single propane tank ensures extended use for gatherings or weekend retreats.
Priced at $450, the Ninja Fireside360 is available exclusively through NinjaKitchen in the US. While it carries a higher price tag than competitors like the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 ($359) or Cuisinart Cleanburn Fire Pit ($300), its advanced HeatZone Technology, smokeless operation, and versatile modes justify the cost for those seeking a premium outdoor heating solution.
