¶ The Solo Stove Bonfire

For my birthday this past summer my parents gifted me a Solo Stove Bonfire to serve as a fire pit for our backyard. It's a really nice sized pit that works well for our concrete patio space out back. I've gotten a lot of use out of it, including a crisp fall evening like tonight.

One of the advantages about the Solo Stove is it is portable. The next day, after the embers are all cooled off, I can empty it out and store it in my garage. Even though it is stainless steel, I don't want to risk it getting sitting water in it and rusting.

By far my favorite thing about it is when you get the fire roaring. When it does that, there are these vents around the circumference of the top that push more air in and the effect is really cool. See the photos below to see what I mean.

And while the party trick with the vents is my favorite thing about the Solo Stove itself, my most favorite thing about having a backyard fire pit is the time spent and stories shared with family and friends.

If you have a quaint space that needs a fire pit that can literally go anywhere, you should look at a Solo Stove. I can't recommend it enough.


It should go without saying on this site that this post is not an ad. I'm just a happy customer.
