Just watched a bunch of Solo Stove cleaning videos and yours is the best, wish it had be 1st in the results, not 7th.

[@tonycampanella4597]

Wow, thanks! As very nice of you to say.

Tony, just did your steps today on a 4yo Yukon Solo. Never been deep cleaned. Amazing how well it turned out. Mine looked similar to yours and now outside is brand new. It burns so well now and the steps are pretty easy if you take your time and do small sections. Sharing with all my Solo mates.

Thanks for the note!!!

Just got one of these solo stoves for Christmas and I plan on following this video when it comes time to clean it up. Thanks for the video!

I just bought a brush kit and use Bar Keeper's Friend on kitchen and bathroom surfaces all the time. Now I know it's safe to combine the two on my Bonfire. Thanks for the video.

[@jacquiquinlan]

This is extremely helpful! The stuff you recommended worked perfectly. Thank you!

[@melissaharris5932]

Thanks for this video! Amazing shoulder work!

Didn't buy one yet but it's interesting to see how the metal holds up with years of use . Looks good 👍 after years of use . It must be a good grade of stainless steel there is different grades of metal they must of picked a higher chrome content.

They awesome. Worth the money without even a small question

[@Samsonight33]

Absolutely worth the money. Also it’s. A lifetime guarantee. It’s not cast iron it’s stainless so will last forever.

[@GimpyCamper]

More work than I’m going to do but it looks good

[@unkono]

I used vinegar to clean the inside. It works well

[@LarryDickman1]

I like the colors on the sides. I had someone in my group melted their sandal on the outside

[@Pud004]

Mine has a little skin from the back of one of my fingers on it...

[@tylerhutchison4632]

Its okay Mr. Krabs we know its really you

[@tonycampanella4597]

You found me out

[@daveb3816]

Well that turned out great! These things really get nasty quick I will say I’ve had mine for less than six months and it’s definitely changing color already but it’s a fire pit what can you do ha ha good to know tips on how to clean it up after summertime

[@bblackrice]

Where did you buy the brush?

[@tonycampanella4597]

A small online bookstore called Amazon.com. Just search for Drill Brush and you’ll see lots of options.

Which type of material used for manufacturing of this stove?

[@tonycampanella4597]

It is made with 304 Stainless Steel

[@danp4160]

Can I do this project with a friend or do I have to do it Solo? Do I have to use Heavy Metal polish or is there a Kenny G polish I could try? Also, I prefer to not grind from an angle as I have hip issues. Is the angle necessary? Thanks in advance.

[@tonycampanella4597]

That was awesome!!!!!! How about something about barkeepers friend. You could be all over that one. Barkeepers acquaintance…. Nice work

[@caulcorbell7975]

Was your solo stove outside and uncovered for the entire three years that you’ve owned it?

[@tonycampanella4597]

It was outside and mostly covered, but of course sometimes I forgot.

[@caulcorbell7975]

@@tonycampanella4597 thanks!

[@dancarmack2486]

Try your shop vac instead

[@rs2143]

Might be easier to just use soap and water garden hose and a stainless steel scrubby

[@tonycampanella4597]

I guess we’ll never know unless you try it and make a video.

Just trying to get my ash out, not put it into a beauty pageant but thanks

[@kurteichholtz5913]

Why would you clean the inside?

[@tonycampanella4597]

2 reasons. 1. This was during one of the lockdowns, so why not clean a fire pit. 2. There was so much stuff in there, I was thinking that the cleaner it is, the cleaner the chamber between the inner and outer wall where the secondary burn happens. Probably not necessary but it’s always fun the clean dirty stuff.

[@tdcjonm]

What's the purpose of cleaning the inside, does it burn better when it looks pretty? 🤣

[@tonycampanella4597]

of course not, but I figured the more junk stuck to the walls, the more would enter the chamber where the secondary burn happens. Who knows?

[@East15Crease]

Hi Tony, I’m working on a new Cleaning TV Series for Ricochet TV Production Company (the makers behind The Repair Shop on BBC One) & we’d potentially like to feature this Video. What is the best way to contact you please?

[@tonycampanella4597]

Hi Leah - don’t think I can post my cell number here. Email is [e-mail]. Send me an email and I’ll forward my cell.

[@tedandtinasadventures.9225]

Thanks for sharing good info. We are going to do this to our solo stoves. We have a ranger and bonfire. New subscriber here. Check out our channel. Thanks.
