Thanks for the very informative video. You answered the one question/concern I have with the solo stove. My deck is made of composite decking, and I was concerned it would damage/melt the decking. so with the bottom ring there should be no heat on the deck.

We have been looking at creating a fire pit. considering the cost it would be to build one myself this looks like a much better option. Thanks for the review

I would definitely recommend one of these over building your own, also check out some of their fire pit surrounds the have online for a good way to incorporate a table to your fire pit

Thanks Tom. I really like that mesh screen. My East Oak is missing that addl accessory. Take care.

Yea it’s a great addition and I think it makes the pit look great too!

Does this stop you smelling of smoke? Also you had a black coated of the earlier version does the paint flake or damage at all after prolonged use? Thanks.

My grandad built one out of a washing machine drum.

Haha it looks similar but probably works very differently
@elixia35019 ай бұрын
Don't really see how they work differently, other than one's a ridiculous price for what it is. Would be nice if Tom tries it out.
@TomVoyageuk9 ай бұрын
Well a washing machine drum has holes all over to extract water from clothes, and is just the same shape. The solo stove has air holes at the top and bottom and is specifically designed to be a fire pit, that emits a smokeless flame by heating air in the walls and creating a secondary burn

I did the same, my wife hates it lol, I left the sides open instead of adding a sheet around it for the secondary airflow

I just received mine this week but haven’t used it yet. I got the converter that allows use of wood pellets such as are used with pellet grills/smokers. Thats easier for me than firewood.
@TomVoyageuk6 ай бұрын
I think pellets gives a more even burn but is a more costly fuel source
@donnafarrell33896 ай бұрын
I can find them rather cheap around here, and they are easier for me to manage on my own than wood blocks would be.
@jasonmann3775Ай бұрын
Converter? You need an additional purchase to use pellets? I do want to use as a fire starter. Thanks
@donnafarrell3389Ай бұрын
Yes, like I said, I bought a convertor.

Thank you for this. I've been waffling about getting one since they are quite expensive in Canada (just short of $1000 for that bundle). But i just pulled the trigger and hope to enjoy it this summer. ❤

These top down burners and are better used by putting the wood in first and lighting the top. Much better burn.

2.0 is 1.5 to 2.0 inches less depth than the original due to ash tray. Not a fan of the decreased depth on the newer bonfire

The heat deflector makes a huge difference but makes it a bit cumbersome to add wood. Give a little, get a little.
