To their credit, I looked at the stove after and I didn’t notice that the crazy temp change left any damage to the stove. I was nervous it would affect the Solo Stove’s stainless steel body, so we did small amounts of water at a time. But I felt terrible having to dump water into it while it was still super hot.

We wanted to dump the ash into a hole before we left, but it was a little difficult to get the ash out of the stove since you have to dump the whole thing.Īnother concern we had with the Solo Stove is putting out the fire – it burns super fast (due to how hot it burns), so usually it’s not an issue waiting till it’s all burned out. We really wish there was an easy way to dump the ash after we’re done, such as a removable ash pan that could slide out. (well also it was pretty darn cool to have my feet in the creek and the warmth of the fire too) Solo Stove Bonfire Review – What We Didn’t Like It was awesome! Try that with a normal fire pit! Why make a fire in a stream? Because I can, that’s why. Just to say that I did it, I actually set my Solo Stove Bonfire in a stream and enjoyed the water next to the crackle and warmth of the stove. Lastly, I love that I can have a campfire ANYWHERE. I almost always have at least one kid squinting their eyes as hard as they can and screaming for me because of the smoke, but with our Solo Stove, there’s less smoke so that issue never happened! We started our fire with some pine needles and dry moss, so there was some initial smoke for about 2 minutes, but then it was gone! This made our whole camp experience WAY easier because my kids are young and at the age where they get super affected by smoke. It’s kind of hard to believe, but it really does create an almost smoke-free fire! It was really nice to not see ANY damage to the grass after our fire was done (not even a wilt!) This makes me feel way more confident about using Solo Bonfire during fire season when traditional fire pits could be dangerous.Īnd, of course, I can’t forget to mention how little smoke there is! One of the Solo Stove’s biggest selling points is that it creates a smokeless fire. Speaking of the set we got, we did not have to assemble anything! I LOVE that we can just have the Solo Stove in the back of the truck, pull it out whenever (it only weighs about 20 pounds) and we can have a campfire right away! The set we got came with the stand – this is the piece of metal that the firepit can be set down on to reduce damage to the ground underneath, and I’d say it’s something you should definitely buy with it if you plan on taking it camping. This is because the design of the fire pit has vent holes that allow air to get under the fire, so you don’t have to spend forever blowing on it! I was very impressed with how quick and easy it was to start the fire, even if the wood was a little damp.
