Product Description
The Solo Stove Bonfire isn’t your average fire pit: It starts up faster, burns more efficiently, and provides a more pleasant, smoke-free experience. Meticulously engineered from 304 stainless steel, its minimalist design works well in any backyard or car-camping site—and because the bottom doesn't get as hot as a traditional fire pit, it's less likely to scorch the ground beneath it Read More

My wife bought one of these - amazing. With dry wood and a really hot fire it truly is smokeless. With wet wood / start of fire the smoke is really reduced. Fires start easily and burn quite hot as well with the ventilation at the bottom.
$230 for a hobo stove? give a dozen please! C'mon guys, lets be real, that thing is way overpriced, not to mention a terrible design for heat dispersion.
True, the manufacturing is probably a little tricky. I'm still curious what their profit margin is on this. The guys making their own DIY of the Bonfire size have to put in a lot of labor, more labor that I'd put in to save $200. But if you want to DIY one for minimal labor, and a low price, wait for the end of year clearance on the Akorn Kamado grills (goes for $87 at Walmart). It's already double wall insulated. Drill our the rivets, take apart the two shells, pull out the insulation, drill the holes in the inner and outer shell, put back together, and there you go!
The stainless looks lovely but a similar fire can be had in the perforated inner drum of a clothes dryer. Which are free at the dump.
Or, (and I actually do this on car / boat camping trips), use a $12 charcoal-lighting chimney. Much smaller, it uses far less wood, but is nicely sized to cook over and is an okay size for 3 people to gather around, especially if on chairs.
DavidinKenaiDave - I owned both (the perforated drum of a washer, and the Solo Bonfire). The Bonfire is way more efficient and smokeless due to the secondary burn. Nevertheless, I did sell the Solo Stove, because I had better things to do with $250 ;) Now my Dakota fire pit (free with 20 minutes of labor) was probably as good as the Solo Stove in terms of being smokeless and burning efficiently.
what a joke, it is on their website which just raised their price for 269. with free shipping. They are in my opinion con men and massdrop is their most recent conn.
4runnerI watched the price on this for 6 months before I bought it, and yes the price fluctuates up and down a lot. It's kind of messed up because at one point it temporarily dropped below the price of those who got in on the Kickstarter "once in a lifetime starter price". It's a good way to tick off some of your previous customers!
These are so overpriced & overhyped it's amusing. I have put them up against a cheaper generic version and the difference is almost nil. Unless you're scaling Everest or something, I'd spend your hard earned money on something more valuable. (Just my opinion.)
Good product but not a good price. They were selling it at this price around a week ago and it included the stand to lift it off the deck. I got it just before Christmas for about 219 without the stand.
