[@DiabloOutdoors]

This ain't a knockOFF. And you know why? Because Solo IS the KnockOFF. They copied their first small stove from a small two person American company in Alaska: Bushbuddy. They did so knowing those guys had no money for a patent and to enforce it. They never asked for their permission, never offered any money. nothing! So whoever compete Solo, then GOOD THING!

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Heck yeah! True and sad. Bushbuddy is still around but solo total stole their thunder. Thanks for watching

[@DiabloOutdoors]

@@AdventureswithSpackmann The guys at Bushbuddy should have gone bigger. They stayed very small and because of that have a turn over of 8 months! So I understand why some people goes for Solo. But if walmart has them now too, then I'll buy from Walmart just to frustrate Solo from getting my money :)

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

@@DiabloOutdoors lol heck yeah

[@commontater24601]

This exactly. Eff Solo Stove.

[@BlackHawk2029]

It's just a wood gasifier. They've been around since the 19th century....

[@Snarfimus]

I know its a popular thing to bash Walmart but to be honest because of their cheap prices and surprisingly good products I started my camping journey last summer because I could afford it and I mean 70 bucks got me out there so I think I might be grabbing one of these stoves haha.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Bro exactly! People bash their gear but for under a hundred bucks it got you out and camping!!!! That’s awesome. Thanks for watching

[@SRQmoviemaker]

I have the same stove and it's great! Used it probably 40 times no issues.

Let's not act like WalMart has good quality. But good enough is good enough.

[@ViralChubb]

I made my own small stove from an Ozark Trail 16-Ounce Double-Wall Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar. Used a dremel to cut the necessary holes. It costed me $10. I’ve had it for 3 years now and it’s still going strong.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Did you make it from my diy $10 solo stove video? Thanks for watching

[@thecarter7025]

I have gasification

[@ViralChubb]

@@AdventureswithSpackmann wow I guess I did. I didn’t realize it was your video lol. I just rewatched it right now. I used yours for inspiration, and I took a slightly different approach. I used a dremel cut-off wheel and it made the holes on the vertical walls way faster.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

@ViralChubb lol nice!

[@dandysorandy]

Super cool

[@bewg]

I like using the inside drum of old washing machines for fire pits, very well suited to the task and often free, some of the drums have unintentional gasification designs just like the walmart fire pits.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

I do too! Mine was sitting off to the left in this video. Showed it off last week. I’m shocked how well they work and how well it’s holding up. Thanks for watching

[@mrmicro22]

2 years out of a dryer drum.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

@@mrmicro22 nice! Any idea how a dryer drum compares to a washer drum? I’m currently using a washer drum. How’s the dryer one holding up after two years? Thanks for watching

[@bensnipes7288]

I spent 2 hours with an air hammer putting holes in a dryer drum. I also burn 2 washer drums. My dryer drum burns much hotter, faster, and gets secondary burns going much better than my washer drums. I heat with fire wood and burn all my bark in my drums every fall into winter. Going on 2 years on my dryer drum but it's pretty rusty and almost burned out. Burn all 3 and sit/stand in the middle of the triangle and it's the perfect spot! Havent lit my firepit since I started making these 2 years ago! I have also made many more for friends and family........so many free washers and dryers on craigslist

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

A burning triangle of fire! That’s awesome. Thanks for letting me know your experience with the drums. Thanks for watching

[@btrswt35]

I made a gasifier out of two stainless steel stock pots a number of years ago... Before solo made theirs. For a small fire pit, it was nice. A couple of things I discovered is these fire pits are not good for keeping warm. The metal shields most of the radiant heat so feet and legs can get chilly on cold evenings. Also, the wood needs to be below the top rim for them to gasifier properly. When everything is working, very little to no smoke, burn relatively hot, and will typically burn through fuel faster because the air flow is so much better. But totally agree, the flame pattern is awesome and relaxing to watch.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

I’ve made a few gasifiers too. Never out of something as big as stock pots but smaller ones. I can see what you mean by the bottom not getting hot and radiating heat. Yup, burn pattern is so cool! Thanks for watching

[@justinw1765]

If you (scuff up and) spray paint the outside of the inner SS stock pot and the inside and outside of the outer SS stock pot with high heat paint (the color doesn't actually matter much--that is misconception i.e. you don't *need* black), the IR will pass through much better. Shiny metal surfaces are good at reflecting IR. (Technically, you only really need to scuff up/paint the surfaces facing the heat source). The double wall on the other hand, does slightly increase the thermal insulation via reducing conduction and convection (the air layer in between is an insulator), so these won't ever give off as much heat as a single layer burner. But this is not as much as one might think, because once temps reach near 300 C/572 F, regular thermal conduction of air greatly increases and most of the heat tranfer or blocking will be via IR. * The paint will improve the heating of the metal significantly. Personally, the fuller and cleaner burn of these is worth the trade off of slightly less less radiant heat (once scuffed and paint treated). * To drive home this interesting principle, some researchers took wood and coated it with a special, highly efficient IR reflecting and very high heat coating (contains mostly zirconium oxide), and turned it into a working forge. You could touch the outside of the wood while it was running full blast and it would only feel slightly warm. I don't know if the rest of the wood was treated with fire retardants or not though (such as soaking it in a borax and boric acid solution, or the like).

[@btrswt35]

@@justinw1765 awesome suggestion and comment! Thanks for the information.

[@justinw1765]

@@btrswt35 You're very welcome.

[@RippieFarmer]

@btrswt35 take an old stainless or steel lid for a pot, remove the handle and weld 3 or 4 support legs (2.5 -4" tall) onto it that fit in the flat spots of the "fire ring". This makes a heat diffuser that eliminates the issue of using them for heat and not getting enough heat. Solo sells em, but for nearly the same price the fire pit base costs😅.

[@rosapdl]

I have the solo stoves and fire pits and Love them. I think it’s a stretch to call them crooks for pricing their product the way they have. Their quality and customer service is amazing. The beauty of an open market is there can be vendors who can be more competitive and market their version through various changes from the original (Suppliers, labor force, raw materials, etc). I’m not mad at them for that and we get more options.

@@AdventureswithSpackmann I definitely think you should use that line whenever you're doing a product review from now on 👌 It'd be your signature catch-phrase 👍 Always a pleasure by the way bro!

[@justinw1765]

With the amount of SS involved, it would be hard to DIY it for significantly cheaper than what they cost. Sure, one can use things like soup cans (for the smaller one) and metal trash cans (for the larger), but the non stainless steel of these, rusts out pretty quick when exposed to these high temps. You can line them with refractory cement to prolong the life of these cheap steels, and get a better burn due to increased insulation. And really only the inner metal needs to be protected. The outer metal doesn't get exposed to high enough temps to super oxidize it. A cheaper and lighter option is to spray the inner metal with very high heat paint once in a while--this prolongs its life some as well.

[@IntenseAngler]

@@justinw1765 Some great points right there my friend. It would be incredibly difficult indeed to build a DIY SS version of these on the cheap (without a bit of creativity at least). These are some pretty sweet stoves... especially considering their price point. I like your thinking/ideas on making a DIY version longer lasting by the way 👍

Walmart issuances kind of sucks, usually only can use it once the company product warranty expires, and sometimes they make sure you actually contacted the company one what process to go through before hand. When i bought couple of tv and electronic a fellow worker said it wasn't worth it, just so many steps to go through and just easy money grab. Sometimes Walmart wont even take issuance if you don't have the insurance paper receipt from the time you bought the product. Walmart is just hoping customers lose that paper, so they can get the extra cash.

The thing about a lot of Walmart brand stuff is that it WILL work especially if metal and follows a simple concept, the biggest concern is longevity and what might happen if you do something it was not designed for. They are typically made out of either thinner or lower quality metals, so it boils down really to your luck the day its parts were produced and how you use the item, so again there is the longevity issue. Main things I don't trust as much from them is anything spouting it's some kind of survival item, like those knives that have been around forever. And the tents unless I only plan on using them a few times in very ideal conditions or once or twice in mixed conditions for short term use.

Where you make an ax across those pot stands. And we're lazy in that channel that all thread can lay in that channel and get one bigger and 1 thinner. And then the bigger one will set on top. And the little ones said underneath it and go down in the channel. And then that way, you will be able to use that for a smaller pot.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Heck yeah. Thanks for watching

[@erlendhansen9246]

A bit high flame with the smal one. Maybe the holes on the bottom are too big. But that can be regulated with a steel mash that collect the ash better and the airflow get restrictet after some burningtime. Have two small clean burning ovens, one has bigger holes in the bottom than the other. The one with big holes are a beast for burning big dry pieces (compered for its chambervolume) and burn semidry materials well. The one with smaller holes are very efficient when you burn short dry chunks, but get clogged after a while if you use bigger chunk, og smoke like hell if you try to burn damp or semidry materials. None are best, I choose one of them after conditions and what I plan to burn.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

And then KZbin recommended this video? They are listening…… thanks for watching

[@vampiregoat69]

NEVER trust a warranty or the company that claims to have them. Most make it hard to get any help

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

I’m hearing that more and more. Thanks for watching

[@williambeason5858]

Thanks for the video , I got the small one but haven't used it yet

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

[@gonagain]

The gasification seems to stop as soon as I put a pot on top.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Hmm I didn’t notice. I’ll try to check it out it next time I’m using it. Thanks for watching

[@drp9313]

Hard to tell from the pics, but on the small backpacking stove do the pot supports fold in to support a smaller pot or cup.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

They fold in but flush with the hinges so they don’t help to support a smaller pot. Thanks for watching

[@ClaytonDowling]

Try out the Ohuhu camping stove. Smaller, so it fits in a backpack. Cheap, and seems nearly bullet proof. You can always find enough small sticks for fuel.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

I’ll take a look. Thanks for watching

[@happymann1000]

All wood fires experience gasification. What you are experiencing is fuel(gas) that has not reacted being supplied with fresh oxygen so the remaining fuel can react.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

That’s right. I believe I mentioned the secondary burn of the wood gas, if I didn’t, my bad. Thanks for watching

[@CMC61]

For those close up shots ! Try some tooth whitening, please!

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Teeth whitening….. Clorox bleach work? Also coffee is life. But thanks for watching

[@extendedp1]

Good find, good video, thanks. Subbed.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

[@Matt18272]

I actually almost bought one! But I thought I’d wait, now it’s like I need to get one next week lol 😆

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Lol I hear ya! Thanks for watching

[@nicks.youtube]

Honestly, I am glad to see more solo stove knockoffs. Solo stove basically copied Bush Buddy to start with

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Heck yeah. Thanks for watching

[@mrkultra1655]

Just picked up the smaller one, can’t wait to try it with pellets

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

I was thinking the same thing with the big one when I was sitting around it. Thanks for watching

[@jonlouis2582]

Highly entertaining!

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

So glad you think so. Thanks for watching

[@panchopachangas4450]

I must’ve laughed for 5 minutes straight when you burned yourself 😂😂

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Lmao awesome! Worth it. Thanks for watching

[@phillipwingo60]

Really like that big one.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Right! Me too. Thanks for watching

[@mikestivers8302]

i remember when solo stove was doing a kickstarter.. for the tiny backpacking version. i might get one of these ozark versions for my gazebo. trouble is, we've been in the high 60's all month. so no point in a fire, just yet.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

I remember too. Much cheaper then right? Thanks for watching

[@mikestivers8302]

cant remember that guy's name.. but he didnt really invent anything, we were making wood burners out of 1 qt paint cans like 25 years ago. nice to see him take the company places, i guess. it was inevitable there'd be chinese knock-offs. @@AdventureswithSpackmann

[@chado_outdoors]

I guess I need to make some family or friends before Christmas and then toss the big one on my Christmas list 😂 $100 is a GREAT price, but that's just too much for me to spend on myself since most of my disability pay goes to the bills, and what little is left goes to my daughter. We could definitely use one. Our current fire pit is rusted out and has holes in the bottom, so it drops hot coals as it burns

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Hear yeah man. It’s hard to justify spending money on anything right now. I’ve had so many pits rust out it’s crazy. Thanks for watching

[@christopherweston6028]

good product test and price compairison.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

[@calebdoner]

I'm typically not a fan of buying knockoff products, but solo stove is just stupid expensive.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

They are crazy expensive. Thanks for watching

[@carldwyer6058]

Solo stoves are just knock offs of Bushbuddy stoves

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

@carldwyer6058 yup. Now no one knows of the bush buddy unfortunately

[@s.campbell6394]

Educational and entertaining, thank you.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

[@s.campbell6394]

I got the smaller one after watching this.I like it.@@AdventureswithSpackmann

[@francis-s3u]

the bottom one

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

The little one or the big one?

[@yellowdog762jb]

Looks interesting. Thanks for the review!

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

[@MrScubajsb]

I saw these the other day and was tempted. I have a solo stove bonfire

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

How do you like the bonfire? Thanks for watching

[@831zapata]

Just find a old washer or dryer drum and add holes good to go

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

A washer drum is my current burn pit. Holes are already there. Thanks for watching

[@sean808080]

I have the solo stove ranger version. it's nice but all the extras add up. overpriced for what it is. Thanks much for pointing out the ozark trails versions. I'd be buying this one if I had to do it all over again.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Yeah I’ve seen some accessories and whoa, add up is right. You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

[@jeber21]

Seen this the other day at wally world. May pick one up now.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

Nice! They ain’t bad for the price. Thanks for watching
