The solo is taller there it will get more oxygen than the breo.

[@bernardherbert1956]

More oxygen means a better fire!

[@timflike1460]

Mike nice video from up state Ny, could you do a short video on the pressure washer size tips and foam please!

[@billwoehl3051]

The breeo looks like the airflow from the bottom would get covered in ash and clogged, whereas the solo looks like the air flows from the outer ring around the center ash pan, lot less likely to clog the air off.

[@geraldhancotte7887]

That was the funnest comparison I've ever seen! Thank you, Mike & Melissa.

[@tim_gifford]

I have had a Solo Bonfire for about 3 years after seeing it on your channel. We love it and know 5 families that have bought one after seeing ours in use. Three of those 5 families use it on their decks successfully with just the ring under it. The biggest plus for us is the portability. We take it with us camping and it easily fits in the carry bag which goes into our pickup truck bed. We also purchased the lid which although doesn’t put the fire out, it contains the flame and sparks along with keeping rain out of it. Great comparison!

[@markorcutt7544]

Absolutely 💯 portable

[@ebony5766]

What a straight up fun video! Well done Mike & Melissa. I will buy USA EVERY TIME!!! Your firestarter is the very best I have ever used.

[@paull9137]

The durability tests....fantastic. Made my day.

[@DarkOpr8r]

This has been one of my favorite videos yet. I actually didn’t know my solo has a removable bottom…although mine is older so I’m not sure if that was a change. Thanks for all the hard work!!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes that’s the older one, I liked them better

[@ThomasLips]

Yeah, we've got the older 1.0 Yukon. The bottom doesn't come out, so there's a lot fewer pieces to mess with.

[@NSResponder]

I think my main factor would be longevity. I would expect the heavier unit to last longer.

[@bernventer5949]

You could buy 3 solos for one Breo.

[@daveklein2826]

It's from China..... Who cares

[@NSResponder]

@@daveklein2826 You can buy the best or worst of anything in China. It's all a matter of what you're willing to pay for.

[@daveklein2826]

Nsresponder, there is no best from China when it comes at the expense of American companies and American workers

[@NSResponder]

@@daveklein2826 Does the phrase "Smoot-Hawley tariff" ring any bells? International trade is a good thing. North Korea follows your policy, they call it "Juche". Look up how it's working out for them.

[@laurarosekrug777]

Mike & Melissa, I love when you guys blow stuff up! - and the review was very helpful...your Fire Starter has made making a campfire a breeze - it is an EXCELLENT PRODUCT, thank you!

[@jeffsinnaeve3817]

Thank you for the demonstration, Mike. Have to admit I am biased toward the Breeo primarily for its sturdy design, the cooking options and Made in U.S.A. quality. For all the reasons you identified in testing, it was the best choice for us and we enjoy it immensely. Looks great and has held up incredibly well for 3 years now. Too many flimsy pieces in the Solo; like you mentioned, just does not sound or appear to be a quality unit that will hold up for many years. Good job.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Very nice comparison !!!!! Breo is built better but as far as the cooking , I love my diy tri pod , adjusts easy , hangs evenly with 3 chains and I can do burgers ,steaks and a big pot of chili !!!!! Awesome ideas for people without much yard space tho !!!!!! Loved it Mike , thanks !!!!!

[@jq2911]

Pretty even demonstration for the tests. Very good job. For the cleanup, as a sub category, the Solo has the ash pan that you can empty the grate into and keep going without having to completely empty the main compartment. Also, for wood consumption, with 2" shorter firewood for the Solo, you burn 1 stick more for every 8 sticks with the Breo. Thus using less wood over time with the Solo. It's still a very hard choice to pick between these 2. I guess I wood need the Breo in my outdoor kitchen and the Solo next to my outdoor family room.

[@petersiclari3670]

Consumer reports watch out fun and informative at the same time. Great job as always

[@jimkempton5568]

Very interesting Mike, thank you! My regular fire pit does give full view ( up-down and around)of the fire. Nothing to bend or wear out. Of course there’s also sparks to contend with. So for a burning view my old fire pit gets a point.

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

MIKE, the final test, kinda brought back memories of your "durability test" and repair of the old Samsung washing machine!!!

[@carbonnieferrous2689]

We are currently having a months rain in 48 hours here in the UK, so this is the closest I can get to a good fire today. thanks M&M.

[@mikeensing9860]

Great side by side comparison Mike. It looked to me like the Breeo was a little bit bigger than the Solo which would make sense why the solo burned a bit quicker and had a nicer flame.

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

As I sit in my house in Minnesota with the windows open, there is a haze and a very pronounced smell of smoke from the wildfires in Canada. So, I kind of feel like I'm there while you're testing. 😄

[@W4GHW]

I have a Solo and have had it for about 3 years. I agree with your findings except for two points. 1. Have used charcoal and it works okay. 2. I think the design of the bottom with more intake area allowed the Solo to go smokeless faster and have a better flame. Thanks for doing that. It was fun to watch!

[@alexb5275]

I don’t say this in a bad way, you remind me of my papa Butch, Baden PA born and raised. Keep up the honest work, love the videos.

[@gregs9187]

I was going to say the solo was definitely smoking more later on after going smokeless first. Glad to see you pointed that out.

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Awesome test Mike. I believe you had a lot of fun with this especially on the last test. Thanks for sharing this info

[@robk1310]

The second half of the video had me flashing back to the Super Dave Osborn show😂😂

[@jnich17]

Great video. When someone wants a review or comparison between the 2, you have it covered. I personally will chose the Breo because of the cooking surface. I would love to see, when weather cools off, the heating radius from the Breo as far as personal warmth.

[@petermavus4131]

Mike you could have another side gig for Consumer Reports magazine in their wood burning products testing division. Have they rated your fire starter yet?

[@JeffK1962]

I think you had some fun trying to destroy the firepits. Maybe wanted to checkout explosive properties. Just a guess but it was fair. Seems like the breeo is a little thicker heavier duty. Handles the blast test nicely

[@bernventer5949]

He threw all the wood onto the Solo and only one piece on the Breo.

[@billk8780]

Mike's version of trying to blow up a tin can with a firecracker.... on steroids!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Awesome Mike, good test and came out in the end. All comes down to cost, folks don't always figure on the long term and that's why they keep buying the cheaper stuff. Sad that it happens that way. Thanks for the tests though and the new igniter worked well !! Stay safe and keep up the good work. Fred.

[@er1073]

Mike and Melissa a very enjoyable and informative video it is unlike any that I have ever seen by you LOL!!! 😂 I think you both really enjoyed making this but brought up some very good points and I hope that nobody was offended by making fun of some that might have left their with the tailgate opened!! Thanks for the video of the highest quality as usual. The pups played a cameo roll but none the less very important. Hello Hunter!!!

[@joeshanahan502]

Funniest ending to a great Video I loved it. Great job Mike and Melissa By the way We just got back from a week camping in New Hampshire. Fire Starter worked great

[@markholmes1346]

I think it comes down to price for a lot of folks, but after seeing this comparison video I think I would spend the extra money on the breo, made in the USA has a lot of weight imo! Great review M&M! Thanks for sharing! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@daveharper5655]

Pretty scientific actually, your opinions are spot on I think. My wife and I were thinking of getting a fire pit, so this is quite a happy accident that you did the review. Yes, I should mention that the ending was epic, lots of fun. Be blessed.

[@marklengal9990]

Got a T shirt idea for the fire starter. “ it all starts here”. Just a thought while watching this video .

[@toddpacheco4748]

Excellent advice and video Mike and Melissa I enjoy watching them all ❤😮

[@petenelson8136]

Very timely video. Building a house (should be done in about 6 weeks) and my wife wants a fire pit. I'm sold on the Breeo, and like the Fire Pit option they have. Also LOVE the fact it's made in the USA. I always shop for USA made products and even better that it came out on top of your review. I suspect I'll be getting a Breeo for a stone fire pit I'll be building.

[@brucebenson9651]

Great video Mike and Melissa! A lot of thought and efforts where appreciated! My question that could be added to your list is replacment parts. Do they both sell new fire pans, rings or any parts that would rust, dent, or ware out over time. So many products just require you to buy a whole new unit when you only need to replace i.e. a new bottom. I'd by the more expensive of anything if I can buy replacement parts as needed... thanks for the video

[@steveo4436]

Hello PCT hikers! That’s were my I really got to know you and Melissa. You’ve come a long way with utube and fire wood, but on the trail is my best memories of you two. Do you hike any more? Always remember Melissa doing all the meal cooking. God Bless 💕

[@jeromebecigneul2911]

I think the small holes in the Breo bottom might clog up whereas the Solo can't clog up. Especially if you were to leave it out in the rain after using it. The ashes mixed with rain would definitely fill the small holes in the Breo.

[@scottspencer9697]

You guys are the coolest! Absolutely very good test! Keep up the good work guys! Can't wait for the cabin work and progress! Love the merchandise! God bless and stay safe guys!

I’m a long time fan and watched almost all of your videos. This is one of your best… I laughed out loud multiple times. Very entertaining, but also informative.

[@wolfpack4128]

Melissa is right on the flame looks. That flat 90 degree lip creates eddy currents and disrupts the nice "shooting flames" look of the Solo. Also the comment about sitting around a fire and how relaxing it is, is so true. Must be something about the safety of fire for our ancestors or something.

[@greatsilentwatcher]

That was fun to watch. Not like pushing down trees, dumping 2A limestone or leveling hills. Keep it up!

[@tschulte9047]

I have a tiki brand smokeless fire pit. It has several different features, such as an ash drawer for clean up, an a dome that you can put inside of the burn area for pellets, and you can remove it for wood. It has "slats" going around the outside for a more rustic look. It's on the higher price point, just under $400 for the original pit.

[@markgrassman6238]

Love your durability testing. A good explosion will always tell the story.

[@angelawilliams9250]

I have an old solo fire pit and the bottom is not removable so I have to dump it like the breeo. I like the handles on the breeo for easy discarding of ash for a mid 60 year old female. After watching your video, I have to get a breeo and gift my solo to my son.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Great side by side comparison of the two fire pits. Just wish this had been out before I bought my Solo. 🙄

They are both good fire pits and the solo makes a nice fire, maybe down the road if you want to cook more you will end up with one of each!

[@dennismackiewicz1032]

You’re being biased against the solo, I believe because it’s Chinese. The solo can burn pellet fuel ,as I have one. I also think your bias is based on the fact that the breo is made in Pennsylvania, a big difference,in my opinion.

[@stevenfoster5737]

I have a Solo stove. The reason I purchsed it over the Breeo is because at the time Breeo didn't make the more portable (and lighter) version you tested. Primarily we use our Solo while camping and the Breeo was a LOT heavier. One thing you did not test is the amount of heat they throw to people sitting arount the fire. On a cold night that's where they both fail. My feet never get warm unless I'm very close to the fire. That probably is due to the double wall construction which is necessary for the smokeless system. Nothing beats an old school truck wheel for heat. Both Breeo and Solo now sell heat deflectors to address this issue and apparently they work. Another accessory...... Sigh.

[@tonymccuiston9039]

Beats a old fashion firepit hands down. Especially the cleanup.

Mike, Will the Cor-Ten steel Fire Pit cause Rust Staining on your concrete. The Steel Building in town is made of that material. It seems like it shows some runoff of the rust. But I guess if you don't leave it on the concrete when it's raining it should be okay. I think the cost would make up my mind on which one we wouldbuy.

Great fire pit content! 👏👏👏👏😍😊😉👍 I was laughing at the solo fire pit's durability test. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😆😆😆 Solo did poorly. 🤣😂😆 I agree. The Solo is noisier than the Breo. Solo is lighter construction wise. Story: During our time in White Creek, N.Y. ( Upstate New York) in the 1990s. My stepfather at that time. He bought a out of date truck tire rim for $10. We used as a fire pit. I made a 18 inch square of old brick floor for it. I took 4 mis shaped bricks for air flow. It burned firewood up to 16 inches. We would use it year round for 20 yrs. My best friend still has it in " storage." It was very heavy. It stand up all those years. Those were fun times. Say Hi to Hunter & Eva. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🔥

[@MapleRidgeHomestead]

Fantastic review, I’ve just put an order in for a Breeo X series with the outpost grill. I’ve actually been researching these for a bit and considering that the Solo stove is made in China was an immediate no for me. I think this was a fair and non-biased review.

[@kelljw53]

Mike, loved this video.

[@robertkribs9513]

A couple of thoughts. First, I wonder where Breeo get's their steel? Second, don't you think that the design of the bottom of the Solo is responsible for the nicer flame? (more oxygen?) Finally, how bad would the Breeo have to be before I buy a Chinese made stove before it? The made in USA category has more weight for me.
