Solo Stove's claim to fame as the "smokeless" fire pit is quite impressive, and we have found that it holds up as long as you follow the instructions on how you should build your fire. In the picture below, you see the main stove and cooking ring with the storage bag – the dark color of the metal is a normal change when stainless steel is exposed to high heat.

This wood-burning stove is made of durable stainless steel and is designed to maximize airflow while minimizing smoke. This made our whole camp experience WAY easier because my kids are young and at the age where they get super affected by smoke. In my honest opinion, if you’re okay with the inconvenience a non-propane camping stove may provide, this would be a solid purchase.

Solo Stove offers two other camping stove options that would be a better fit for you: the Lite and Titan.

If you’re looking for a portable or outdoor fire pit, consider other options Solo Stove offers, such as the Bonfire or Ranger; the Ranger is the most portable of the two.

And with kids, we especially like fire pits that are raised up more than fire rings we just make ourselves with rocks since they tend to be harder for the kids to see when they’re running around camp. Don’t forget to heat up and wash the pot once before using it (same for all the stainless steel cookware). So in my Solo Stove Review, let me show you everything you need to know to figure out if the Solo Stove Bonfire (or other Solo Stove sizes) are worth it for your camp set up!
