Fire pit recommendations

Solo stove is amazing.

We have a propane one and a solo stove. The solo puts off waaaay more heat and it’s easy to move around. The smoke really disappears as soon as the fire is hot and steadily burning. I think they are on sale now.

Solo stove looks pretty interesting - looking at the bonfire size vs the ranger or Yukon for backyard use. Family of 5 with obviously limited social gatherings right now. Is bonfire the right size?

We have the bonfire and it is perfect for our family of 4.

The solo isn't the prettiest or most stylish fire pit, but is works incredibly well. Nice even heat and it really is smokeless. It is so nice never having to get up and shift around to get away from smoke.

bonfire is on sale now for $220 I bought 20 of them for corporate gifts.

Keep your fire hot to reduce smoke. Dry wood, well-seasoned, stoked and added to when necessary.

So much nicer and cozier than propane!

We have a propane table firepit and it throws off a lot of heat and the tank lasts a decent length of time. Great for warmth and smores. I have a bit of fire phobia so prefer a fire I can turn on and off rather than leaving burning embers.

The propane only cuts out if your tank is empty. I am getting ready to replace our lava rocks with fire glass stones because I like the look.

How much heat do they throw off? Do you get a nice feeling of warmth sitting around one?

We have a propane one. It's good for atmosphere (particularly with the fire glass) and cooking S'Mores, not so much for providing warmth. Like the PP, never had issues with exploding rocks or propane cutting off.

Interesting, I am actually more scared of propone leaks and explosion.

It's not any more dangerous than having a propane gas grill.

We made a wood burning one a couple weekends ago. It's amazingly toasty. Isn't one of the joys of life having your clothes and hair smell like wood smoke? Reminds me of camping. Its not icky like cigarette smoke

I was this close--THIS close--to purchasing a Solo bonfire last week during Black Friday sales, but hesitated because it seemed a bit small if we ever wanted to have friends over to sit outside or after covid is over, so I passed. the Yukon, which is larger, is a big jump in price. For those of you that have the bonfire, could you even sit a slightly larger group than 4 around it and feel the heat? I'm now thinking of getting a square style pit that has the diameter of the Yukon, but a lot less expensive.

Literally everybody I know has wood burning firepits. Propane is for the souless.
