Solo Stove 19.5-in W Stainless Steel Stainless Steel Wood-Burning Fire Pit

Pretty awesome

Recently, a co-worker mentioned that they'd purchased a new Solo Stove for their deck and hearing that name, I recalled my having positive associations from the camping/cookstove domain. (I'd never used those types of stoves, but had heard good things from friends.) I mentioned my desire to buy a Bonfrie to our budget director (aka my spouse) and she correctly asked me if I was so keen on building fires in a shiny new fire pit on the patio, why a perfectly good fire pit was on our patio alread...

LIFE CHANGING!!!

I came here to get the dimensions of this but had to leave a review because I am the biggest advocate for this product. This was the first thing I put on our wedding registry after seeing it in its jaw dropping action but I would not hesitate to buy it for myself. I've been tending fires since I was in first grade and it is 1000% worth the money for all the time and frustration and wood it saves keeping a fire going. This thing ignites a log with a fire starter or a small pile of kindling within...

Cynical Reviewer Converted

How could a round drum with no side vents produce an amazing, warm fire for all to enjoy? ...and how on earth could they prevent smoke? Smoke is a natural part of the campfire experience, right? You need to drop your clothes in the laundry for sure after a campfire...ALWAYS!! Also, you need to be prepared to chant "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit..." to get the smoke clouds to move around the fire to the next victim. Its part of the campfire experience! The YouTube videos, the advertisements... The...

As Advertised!

My wife and I had a traditional hardware store-bought "fire pit" that was quite literally on it's last leg and falling apart. We had seen Solo Stove products advertised on social media, but were hesitant to commit because of the price. The product is WELL WORTH the investment! The 'Bonfire' model is an ideal size. It's lightweight enough to easily dispose of ashes and move in to a dry space for storage, but also big enough to provide plenty of heat and fire while in use. I can place 2-3 pieces o...

Absolutely as-advertised!

So. Fun story. My best friend (who loves a real wood fire but has asthma and allergies and hates smoke and the mess of a typical fire pit situation) wanted the Bonfire for Christmas...which is how I found out about this thing, and so after telling her husband the Bonfire was all he needed to get her for Christmas to be a hero (she never has anything she really really wants so this was his year to shine!) - I decided to get one for my boyfriend as well. (OK, I kind of wanted one at that point - s...

Just what the doctor ordered!!

My husband has bad arthritis and the cold weather is quite offensive!! I bought the bonfire for him for Christmas and he was speechless!! We immediately took it outside and lit it up! Within just minutes he was smiling from ear to ear. He was thrilled with the amount of heat that it emitted so quickly and the minimal amount of smoke was a huge bonus!! It was better than the advertisement could've expressed! I have never been near a bonfire so for me it WASand IS quite a treat!! I want to light t...

A premium outdoor fireplace experience

As a rule, I don't typically buy anything that turns up in my Facebook feed as an advertisement. The Solo Stove did however capture my interest. I've been using Chimney style charcoal starters for years and this seemed to incorporate many of the same concepts. After a couple years of ignoring the Solo Stove, I finally decided that if it was garbage they would be out of business by now so I took the plunge. What came in the mail was a very solid stainless steel fire pit complete with transporta...

More Incinerator than Fire Pit

I wanted a fire pit to use when entertaining friends during Covid social distancing. I had concerns about the double wall construction of the Bonfire restricting the radiation of heat, which is a primary benefit of a fire pit during cool/cold seasons. My concerns were confirmed on my first use of the pit. It directs all heat up and there is very little radiant heat around the device. The main source of heat is from logs that extend above the lip of the pit, or if you hold your hands above the li...

Funny Story - We “accidentally” ordered two!

So a buddy of mine tells me about his Solo Stove and just about every other night last fall he sends me photos of him in a chair, on the patio, cold one in hand fire churning in his Bonfire until he finally makes me jealous enough that I log onto the website in mid conversation with him and pull the trigger on a Bonfire. I decide that since there’s a wait, that I would print the receipt and give it to my wife for Christmas as a family gift. Fast forward to Christmas Day and I’m saving this as on...

Excellent Fire Pit

I was hesitant about spending this kind of money for a fire pit with so many cheaper options on the market however, I shouldn't have been. This firepit is PHENOMENAL! The first thing you notice during unboxing is how high-quality everything is. This is heavy gauge stainless steel and not a hint of flimsy anywhere. Impeccable craftsmanship that's beautifully made, you can tell this was built to last. Then we loaded it up and lit it. The air ventilation meant this was a 3 min start to a roaring fi...
