Received the product, put it together and put in some kindling and logs and it burned for two hours. The flames were huge and there was very little smoke. Worked as Advertised. very happy with the purchase
Best purchase we have ever made!! We love it and highly recommend. We bought the backyard bundle and it was worth it. If your on the fense, take the plunge and buy it! You won’t be disappointed.
Well constructed with stainless steel, burns efficiently with minimal smoke. The optional ring allows you to use the stove on various surfaces but if I use it on my wood deck I would probably use a fireproof mat.
The videos don’t lie. The bonfire is well built, easy to move and assemble, and as a fire pit, it’s sensational. I replaced an old, rusted out fire cauldron that was dirty and never worked as well as this. Excellent purchase, excellent product, excellent company. You won’t be disappointed, especially when you can get it on sale.
I like my new Solo, and although it’s a little pricey, it’s the perfect contained fire pit for areas where One needs a contained fire. Easy assembly and easy set up. The package with the cover and grate are worth it.
This is an excellent product. I like everything about it. It’s built like a tank. It is very easy to get a fire going. And it’s easy to clean it out. The cover is also well made and keeps the rain out. The only issue I found was that when the stand is underneath it is a little hard to see the flames unless you have a pretty big fire going. Overall Solo Stove made a great product. I love it.
This product is extraordinarily well-designed. The attention to detail in design was obvious while unpacking the box. It is a quality product and worth it’s price.
My first fire was 4 hours long, and we were smoked out 3.5 of those hours. I contacted Solo about this and they told me not to cover air holes (I didn’t) and to use hardwood (I was burning oak). It appears that the fire pit doesn’t burn smokeless unless you have a large, hot fire going. Our moderate sized fire rarely got to the conditions needed for smokeless fires. We are going to end up burning 3-4x the amount wood that we originally thought. None of this is mentioned in instructions or promotional materials.
In our experience, the fire pit does not generate much heat to the sides. We were seated within 12 inches of the fire pit in 31 degree weather and felt no heat. Do not buy this if you are hoping it will keep you warm. It is all about aesthetics
In retrospect, I wish that I had bought the smallest fire pit rather than the medium sized fire pit. It would have been far easier to keep fully fueled. Keep this issue in mind when making your purchase.
Getting the bundle of accessories with the Bonfire was best shopping I’ve done in a long time. It is attractive, delivers on it’s promised low smoke, and kept a group nice and toasty. Love the weather shelter and will employ the carry case at some point, I’m sure.
Stove lights easily, burns wood quite completely, smokeless fire, and compact. It burns wood relatively quickly, perhaps due to its air flow efficiency. Stainless steel look is rather sterile compared to other brands that have a more rustic or less “modern” profile. So far though, so good.
Patio.
This is an awesome, amazing product.
I have a small patio and smoke has always been an issue.
This gives off great warmth and it does not smoke my guests out off the pay.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
Great product. My only gripe is that the shelter cover included in this bundle isn’t tall enough to cover the stove when it’s stacked with the accessories that are included in the bundle. Weird to assume we would want to store these items separately.
I researched all different options and there are some out there that say they are like the solo stove…NOPE….this one is the best and worth the extra cost.
Amazing purchase and product. Truly innovative. The heat that comes out of it is incredible. Clean burning and very little smoke. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
Man this thing is so awesome. Great fires. I snuff mine out at night with a small dome grill cover. Leave that coal in there.. it’ll burn tomorrow. Love mine. Cranks a fire easily and DOES NOT EAT WOOD!
Easy to set up. Attractive design and works as advertised. Great smokeless system and two stage burning results in a great flame. Nice and toasty warm. Riser ring perfect and keeps the deck cool, no concerns of too much heat on the composite decking.
We have enjoyed the bonfire on these early Fall evenings. I have it on a composite deck with the ring and a fireproof mat underneath it. It stays very cool. The bonfire burns cleanly and very strongly. it is not truly smokeless, but the smoke is minimal.
I love this fire pit. We use this fire pit on our wooden deck with no problems. It’s small but yet powerful gives off hot heat. Easy clean up !!! I can see this lasting for a long time.
My lungs are very vulnerable to smoke and we were able to grill hamburgers and roast marshmallows for s’mores without any problems whatsoever with the Solo Stove Fire Pit. It is a treasure for me and for my Beloved Neighbors.
Well worth the investment something you can pass down! Once started the fire is unstoppable I love it high heat helps dissipate the smoke through its air ports on the bottom and internally up top. Can’t wait to get out and get camping!
This stove seems to be fairly high priced but is well made. The one drawback is the strange design that has the inner grate permanently installed, leaving no way to clean the ashes other than turning it upside down and letting them fall out onto a tarp. More through cleaning can only be accomplished by spraying water through the small holes in the grate and then letting it drain. while upside down. You’ll definitely need to purchase a cover since there are no drain hole and this causes rain water to be trapped which will promote deterioration. The stove needs to cool for some time before the cover is put in place.
Yes, we use it on our deck without damaging the wood (stand sold separately).
No, we don’t smell like smoke.
Yes, it keeps us very warm in Northern Michigan.
There is very little ash to clean out.
We love it!!! You will, too 😉
We have had for a couple of months now. Only hardship was setting it under cover so it didn’t fill with water. We love the fire and it burns everything down. We just tip up so they clear the grate and clean out. This week we added the shelter Solo now offers. It is heavy PVC (like a pool liner) with aluminum frame that snaps in the top so the rain runs off.
Well built but the design could be better
I purchased the Yukon to replace my fire pit that just rusted away
Looks pretty
We’ll built
But at 45 lbs it’s not easy to pick up and flip the unit in order to shake out the ashes.
It takes two people. It should have an ash drawer(pullouts)
Also much cheaper on Solo stove website
We keep this on our pool deck. Our last fire pit produced so much smoke it cause a lot of issues for the swimmers. We have been so happy with this purchase. I have not had it covered yet, looking for a cover to purchase. Also, the screen in the last picture is from our old fire pit. I need to purchase a new one for this.

The Solo Fire Pit is a fantastic product, providing great flames and minimal smoke while using. Couldn’t be happier.
Easy to start a fire, nice warm heat!! Made S’mores later.
Everything came in one package, and within 2 days! She is very pleased with the performance and loves it! Great product!

It was a gift to my daughter
It was a gift to my daughter & son-in-law they absolutely love everything about it.

Easy to start a fire and the burn is complete, very minimal ash to throw away.
Easy to set up. Not sure about good smoke abatement.
Awesome product. Will let us meet with family outside later into the fall. Makes a beautiful fire with minimal effort.

There’s nothing bad about the fire pit. Two of my friends already bought one
Using on our campsite property. Very nice. Kids love making s’mores!
