Admittedly, the price tag is high, especially considering you can make a fire pit out of a steel shopping basket, dustbin or old washing machine drum! However, the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 burns very efficiently, and uses precious little fuel, while producing barely any ash, and is more or less smokeless, all of which means it punches way above regular fire pits. And, if you do buy into the Solo Stove hype, you should be set for life thanks to its lifetime guarantee. Choosing an Outdoor Grill, Chiminea, Fire Bowl, Outdoor Fireplace or Fire Pit from one of these brands will give you years of enjoyment!
Those in need of either a larger or smaller fire pit may want to take a closer look at the Bonfire’s sister models. The compact Solo Stove Ranger measures 15 inches in diameter by 12.5 inches high, while the larger Solo Stove Yukon measures 27 inches in diameter and 17 inches high. All of these Solo Stove fire pits share the same efficient smokeless design and heavy-duty 304 stainless steel construction. You can’t go wrong with any of them. Where to Buy the Solo Stove Bonfire The Bonfire catches loose ash in the bottom and is easy to clean. The Solo Stove Bonfire Kit pushes the limits of combustion airflow efficiency—the minimalist outdoor stove burner design results in a portable, easy-to-clean, low-maintenance fire pit. The perfect outdoor wood burner We found the firebox to be a little shallow at eight inches, but we were able to get two layers of logs loaded in. This meant re-loading a little more frequently, but that had no bearing on its smoke-free performance. The use of charcoal, along with the optional Outpost Grill attachment, makes the Y-series a competent barbecue. You can cook over wood as well, and the height of the grill surface is adjustable so you can keep clear of the flames. We appreciated the adjustable legs which raised the top of the fire pit up to 20 inches and made the grill surface easier to reach. Heat radiates well from the Y-Series when loaded up with logs. The 15-inch body height allowed for more heat to be felt on our lower extremities.First for the science bit. Solo Stove’s smokeless situation works via secondary burn, made possible thanks to its double-skin steel construction with vent holes at the top and bottom. Cool air is pulled through the bottom, heats up within the double cavity, and rises to the top, which invokes secondary combustion as the hot air exits the top vents. My main – and completely unscientific – test for the presence of smoke basically came down to whether or not I had to wash my hair before bed! I can’t stand the smell of smoke-filled hair, and on those windier days, I did have to take a shower. This fire pit is easy to assemble and use, mostly smoke-free, built of extremely durable materials, and offers tons of versatility, especially when the available accessories are considered. In my opinion, the Solo Stove Bonfire is definitely worth the money. Should you buy a Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit? Lastly, we let the fires burn down to ash so we could determine how easy clean-up was after the blaze. We also noted things like whether or not the pits were easy to carry or move around, as well as their weight and dimensions. The Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit produces a lot of heat. The same design features that make it burn cleaner and more efficiently than other fire pits also make it produce more heat than other fire pits. The air that flows up between the walls and beneath the elevated fire grate lets the fire consume the firewood more completely. I noted that it took between 5 and 10 minutes to get the fire burning to the point where I could add full-size firewood logs and that once I filled the burn chamber to capacity, it burned for around 2.5 hours without me needing to add more wood. Because the Solo Stove offers such an efficient and long-lasting burn time, users should consider these two important issues: heat deflection and fire pit safety.
We found the interior to be relatively cavernous, which means more wood fit inside, and with that you get bigger fires and more heat. Other than the first couple of minutes when we lit the kindling, the X Series was virtually smokeless, as promised. Yes, Solo Stoves can be left in the rain, but it’s recommended to cover the stove with a protective cover when not in use to prevent rusting and damage. The Solo Stove Bonfire is engineered for durability, portability, and to burn smoke-free. It is constructed of 304 stainless steel for a combination of high strength and resistance to rust and corrosion. It features a dual-wall design and a slightly elevated fire grate that dramatically improves airflow, minimizing smoke while the fire is burning and eliminating much of the ash and charcoal to be cleaned out afterward. Through the bottom vent holes of MESA, rising hot air is drawn in and distributed throughout the fire. Air fans blow an extremely hot flame into your burn chambers’ upper vent ports to reduce smoke. Protect Your Table Yes, a Solo Stove can get wet or rained on, but it’s recommended to cover the stove with a protective cover when not in use to prevent rusting and damage.
Weighing 9.07kg and with a diameter of 49.5cm. It is 35.5 cm high without a stand and 38.5cm tall on the stand. Consequently, the high-quality steel Solo Stove Bonfire takes hardly any effort to move. Solo Stove’s Bonfire 2.0 is an update to the Bonfire we previously tested, now including a removable ash pan. While its smokeless performance remains unchanged, the ash pan does add about five pounds to the overall weight. It seemed to radiate a lot of heat out at an angle thanks to the bowl shape and created a warm zone in the shape of an inverted, squat cone, even when the flames weren’t reaching out of the fire pit. When they were, we could feel even more heat radiating straight out from them.
To empty the ash pan, we had to reach in and remove the perforated bottom grate and tip it to dump any ash off and into the pan below. After removing the grate, we could remove and dump the pan though the pan is smaller than the grate, so some ash is going to fall around the outside edge.Superheated oxygen-rich air leaving the upper vent holes ignites smoke particles coming off the burning wood before they have a chance to exit the fire pit. This “secondary burn” creates a bright flame at the fire pit rim above the burning firewood as it eliminates most of the annoying wafts of smoke. First, manage your expectations regarding smokeless fire pits. While good ones are nearly completely smokeless visually, they still produce exhaust gasses so expect some of that campfire smell, especially if it’s breezy. For the same reason, you might occasionally get a face full of invisible smoke if you’re in the wind. Most smokeless fire pits burn wood. You’ll want to use seasoned wood—that means it has had time to dry out over six or more months. Wood that’s still green or wet will burn more slowly and may produce smoke even if you use it in a smokeless fire pit. It may not push out quite the same levels of heat that our regular and much bigger, single skin, fire pit does, but I’ve read that’s the payoff when considering any low smoke firepit. The double-cavity required to achieve those mesmerising rolling flames, and the smoke reduction, inadvertently acts as heat insulation.
The patented double wall with top vents creates the world's most unique double burn and nearly smokeless fire. As a result, the secondary combustion produces a fire ring with mesmerising flames burning away most smoke. The Bonfire projects heat—a lot of it—in an even circle, but mostly from the rim and up. If we had the fire roaring, the heat radiated more evenly but didn’t really reach our feet on a cool day. It’s not recommended to build around a Solo Stove as it can obstruct ventilation and increase the risk of fire. Cuisinart’s Cleanburn is unique in its bowl-shaped design. It comes in three pieces: the main body, a top ring that acts as a wind guard, and a base that doubles as an ash tray. Along with our great selection of outdoor fire pits and accessories is the price tag that will make you smile. We offer great value for the price! In fact, it will be hard to find high quality fire pits, portable BBQ’s, chimineas, outdoor grills, rain chains or garden bells at such a great price anywhere else. Yes, during these tough times, you will still be able to find the right fire pit to fit your surroundings and enhance your relaxation time, but also fit your budget!A slight disadvantage of the concave shape is that, although we fit 14-inch logs in it, they wouldn’t drop to the bottom. This made it more difficult to fill the fire pit and keep a bigger fire going.
