We use a stainless steel Solo Stove. They're spendy, but worth it.
ETA: Corrected 'speedy' to 'spendy', but they actually are speedy, too. |

Which size? We got the Bonfire, because it was the biggest available at the time. I'm glad the really big one wasn't available, because we actually like taking the Bonfire camping. It's come in handy in spots with no fire ring, and really handy on windy days. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tango-22: Seen these, but unsure if they’re worth $300? They're ok. They burn efficiently BUT they throw all the heat straight up. Like you can be sitting around it and you won't feel the warmth until you're right next to/on top of it |

Ive been looking to get this rectangle pitgrill. Sold out everywhere.
Anyone know of a source for rectangle pit or something similar? Not looking to just halve a 55 gal drum but that was an idea. I really need the spark screen.  |

The solo says nearly smokeless. This is a plus. The wife always complains about the smoke smell you get on you and in your clothes from a night outside.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tango-22: The solo says nearly smokeless. This is a plus. The wife always complains about the smoke smell you get on you and in your clothes from a night outside. I would agree with that as long as you've got a good fire going and your wood is dry. If your fire is going well enough that you can actually see flames coming out of the top holes you'll have very little smoke. Lots of our wood was left out in the rain all winter so it doesn't burn very well. The solo can't overcome that and isn't exactly smokeless right now. |

Bought the Solo Stove Ranger for Mrs.45ProCarry for christmas. We love it. Came with a nice carry bag, so we can take it camping if we wanted to. If you can wait, Solo Stove has a sale around Thanksgiving every year for half off.

Solo stove is ok but has limitations. You have to use smaller pieces of wood. Pinecones are great. If you fill it up enough it is smokeless.
Most of heat goes up, not out. Not going to keep you warm. Also, not as much light since the fire had to be inside the stove to keep it smokeless. I have the bonfire size so I don't know what the bigger one performs. |

I have a chiminea in the back. We haven't used it in a couple years but we got a lot of use out of it over the years prior. Made for a great ending to some of the family gatherings we used to hold. My sons would also use it during their teen years to have friends over, sit around outside and do teen things. I took out the last of my fruit trees (apple and pear) a couple years ago and saved the better parts and cut them to length. The've been drying out since in a rack under the deck stairs. I always liked sitting out there in the early autumn. Times move on but the memories are still there.

If so, what size wood do you have to find? Regular length ok? 16"-18" splits are fine. It burns really hot. I won't have any other fire pit. I have had mine for 4 summers. the only issue I have with it is cleaning it out. If it gets rained on you have to hose it out. They sell a cover but I just store mine upside down and it is fine. |

Solo Stove. Only thing that kinda sucks is you have to be right over it if you want to warm up at all. It doesn’t radiate heat out the side.

There’s a plus to that as well. That should make it more useful in the warmer months when everyone wants the ambience of a fire and its 80 degrees out. |
