Meet MOON 45 — Elevated design. Effortless performance.

MOON 45 redefines the outdoor fire experience. Engineered with an advanced double-walled system, it delivers a powerful, swirling flame with remarkably low smoke and minimal ash — whether you’re burning firewood or pellets.

Designed to stand out, its matte black steel form adds a bold architectural element to any outdoor space. But it’s not just about looks. This is a fire pit built for real use: efficient, reliable, and ready for New Zealand’s long evenings outdoors.

Pellets offer up to two hours of clean, consistent heat — perfect for uninterrupted catch-ups. Prefer the traditional crackle of firewood? MOON handles both with ease.

And when it’s time to cook, it steps up again. With optional accessories like a cast iron plancha or grill top, MOON 45 transforms into a versatile cooking station — ready to sear, grill or keep food warm as the night rolls on.

Warmth, atmosphere, and function — all in one striking piece.

Built for Backyard Magic

The MOON 45 with high stand brings elevated atmosphere to your outdoor setup, combining cutting-edge wood gasification with clean, modern design.

Enjoy a striking, low-smoke flame thanks to an advanced two-stage combustion process. Whether you're burning firewood or pellets, it delivers up to 2 hours of impressive, efficient heat using just 10–12kg of pellets.

Perfect for decks, courtyards, and compact outdoor areas, the MOON 45 is made for Aotearoa’s urban lifestyle. It burns clean with minimal ash, and the removable ash tray makes clean-up easy.

With its stable cast iron base and stainless steel high stand, it stays secure on uneven ground — no tools needed for assembly or pack-down. Lightweight and portable, it’s your go-to for effortless fire wherever you are.

  • Low-Smoke Fire Performance

    MOON’s advanced wood gasification system burns rising wood particles a second time — dramatically cutting down smoke and odour.

    The result? A cleaner flame that’s better for the environment, easier on the senses, and perfect for smaller outdoor spaces.

  • Two Versatile Stand Options

    Whether you're gathering around for drinks or enjoying a quieter night under the stars, MOON adapts to the moment.

    Choose the taller stainless steel stand for a bold, elevated presence, or keep things grounded with the cast iron base for a more intimate feel.

    *Note: Low-stand must be purchased separately*

  • Fuel It Your Way

    MOON is the first Höfats fire basket built for both firewood and pellets — giving you full control over the experience. Light logs for a traditional crackling fire, or choose pellets for up to two hours of clean, consistent flames without the need to refuel.

  • Captivating Flame Display

    MOON’s signature flame effect is created by a clever system of secondary combustion. Air is drawn through the inner ring and reignited, producing a dramatic, swirling motion that pulls the eye and sets the mood. Designed to be a centrepiece — and conversation starter — in any outdoor setting.

How Wood Gasification Technology Works

Creating a low-smoke fire isn’t easy — but MOON makes it simple. Its smart double-wall construction is the secret. As air is drawn in, it’s split into three streams: two feed oxygen directly to the fire through the ash tray, fuelling a clean, efficient burn. The third stream travels between the double walls, heating as it rises, before exiting through a ring of precision-cut holes near the top.

Here, the hot air ignites a secondary combustion, burning off fine wood particles and reducing smoke to an absolute minimum — especially effective when using wood pellets. The result? A cleaner, brighter fire with less smoke and more atmosphere.

MOON — Wood or Pellets?

With MOON, the choice is yours. Craving that classic campfire glow? Load it with firewood, hone your stacking skills, and enjoy tending the flames as the night unfolds.

Prefer uninterrupted warmth? Fill MOON with pellets, light it once, and let it burn steadily for up to two hours — virtually smoke-free and without refuelling.

FAQs

What accessories are available for the MOON 45?

Enhance your MOON experience with an array of accessories. The MOON Plancha transforms your fire basket into a versatile grill. To protect your MOON from the elements, a custom-fit lid and weatherproof cover are available.

Which pellets should I use?

For optimal performance, we recommend using wood pellets certified with ENplus or DINplus quality marks. The specific wood type is less important than overall pellet quality.

Can I use MOON 45 indoors?

No — the MOON fire basket is designed for outdoor use only. When operated with pellets outdoors, it offers a smoke-reduced, odour-free fire experience perfect for urban environments.

What surfaces can MOON be used on?

Always place fire bowls on fireproof, heat-resistant surfaces and maintain a minimum clearance of 3 metres from flammable materials. The MOON must never be operated beneath roofs, overhangs, balconies, trees, or other coverings. Never leave the fire unattended, as pellets remain hot and may continue to glow for several hours after the fire dies down.

What are the recommended surfaces for the raised MOON?

With the high stainless steel stand, MOON is elevated further from the ground, allowing greater flexibility in surface choice. When using pellets, it may be placed on wooden decks or other surfaces at your own risk, provided correct usage minimises flying sparks. When burning firewood, a fireproof surface is essential.

What are the recommended surfaces for the low MOON?

When using the low stand, place MOON on stone, concrete, sand, or other non-combustible, heat-resistant surfaces. The fire basket emits significant downward heat that could damage unsuitable surfaces. (The low stand is an additional accessory to be purchased separately.)
