Safety information

For outdoor use only, on a fireproof surface (stone, concrete or sand) with a minimum clearance of 3 metres from flammable structures, overhanging branches or roofing. Burns kiln-dried logs or wood pellets only — never accelerants, treated wood, or household waste. The outer bowl, nozzle ring and stand remain hot for a significant time after the flame has died down; ash can stay hot for several hours. Empty the ash tray only once fully cooled. Keep children and pets at a safe distance during and after use.

What makes MOON different

Smokeless sea of flames

Smokeless sea of flames

MOON sets new standards with its wood gasification technology. Rising wood particles are burnt in a second combustion stage, so there is virtually no smoke. At the same time, the fire rises from the MOON like an endless sea of flames – even in freshening winds, thanks to the integrated Airstream.

Two stands

Two stands

A cosy garden party or a relaxed lounge evening? Choose between the raised stainless steel stand or the low cast iron stand to give your ambience the perfect touch. If you choose the MOON with high stand, you will receive both stands directly and can switch flexibly between the heights.




Pellets or wood?

Pellets or wood?

MOON is the first höfats fire basket that works with both! Either fire it up with logs for that traditional campfire feeling, or choose pellets for up to two hours of continuous, smoke-free burning – without refuelling.

Unique patina

Unique patina

Fire leaves its mark – not only on us, but also on the MOON nozzle. Over time, the heat of the fire creates a unique patina on its surface. Soft color gradients and shimmering tones reflect the vitality of the material – making every MOON a true one of a kind.

Your first fire, step by step

Step 1

Fill the MOON with pellets, leaving the perforated circle below the opening free (approx. 10-12 kg of pellets).


Step 2

Place 4-5 pieces of kindling wool on top of the pellets.

Step 3

Moisten the wool and the pellets with Fuel

Step 4

Light the wool, watch the pellets start to burn and after a few minutes you will see the fascinating play of flames.

Frequently asked questions

Does MOON really burn without smoke?
Once the fire is properly established, very nearly. MOON uses wood gasification: air is drawn up between the two walls of the bowl, heated on the way, then injected back over the fire through the jets around the rim. That second burn consumes the gases that would otherwise leave as smoke. Expect some smoke in the first few minutes while the fire gets going.

Can I burn logs, or does it have to be pellets?
Both work. Pellets give the most even, longest and cleanest burn, and they are easy to measure out. Logs give a more traditional look and a bit of crackle. Either way, use dry, untreated wood.

How long does one filling last?
Around two hours. MOON 45 takes 10-12 kg of pellets.

What is the difference between the low stand and the high stand?
Purely how you use it. The low stand sits MOON at ground level, like a traditional fire bowl. The high stand raises it to a comfortable standing height, which suits grilling with the plancha and puts the warmth closer to seated guests. The stand isn't currently sold as a separate item — each Fire Basket variant comes with its own stand included.

Can I use MOON on a balcony or a wooden deck?
On a balcony, check your building's rules and your tenancy or lease agreement first. On any combustible surface, use the high stand or a non-combustible base, keep well clear of walls, railings and anything overhead, and never leave the fire unattended.

How much ash does it make, and how do I clean it out?
Very little. The gasification burn leaves only a small amount of fine ash, and it drops into the removable ash tray. Let everything cool completely, then lift the tray out and empty it.

Why has the ring around the nozzles changed colour?
That is expected, and it is not a fault. The stainless steel around the air jets runs extremely hot and develops a permanent bronze-to-blue heat patina. Every MOON ends up with a slightly different pattern.

Can MOON stay outside all year?
Yes, it is built for outdoor use. We'd still recommend covering it or keeping it under shelter over winter to keep rain out of the bowl and slow surface staining. Empty the ash tray before storing so damp ash is not left sitting against the steel.

Can I turn my MOON into a grill later on?
Yes. The MOON Plancha drops straight onto the bowl and turns it into a wood-fired griddle. It's available separately.
