I tested it at and around my house in southern California towards the end of the summer and the beginning of fall (read: wildfire season).
SOLO STOVE BONFIRE FIRE PIT SERIES
The Y Series has the extending legs that we really loved. "It's a hotter, more thorough fire, and it is a good way to get every ounce of fuel out of your logs."īoth products have one unique feature we particularly like, so you'll have to decide which one matters most. "The airflow component of the design definitely works," one tester noted of the Bonfire 2.0. And they're both circular stainless steel fire pits. The double-wall circular airflow makes them very similar. But there are a lot of similarities and a lot to like about both of these pits. You might be getting annoyed with the ties. So if you don't have wood at hand-or don't like burning wood-you might consider the Y Series.
SOLO STOVE BONFIRE FIRE PIT PLUS
One plus for the Y Series that could push it over the edge for some people is it can burn wood pellets and lump charcoal, while the Bonfire 2.0 will need wood. But on windier days, you'll have to accept the smoke. So, these fire pits will be smokeless on a perfectly still and calm day or night. Wind can push around the super-heated air as it leaves at the rim, and smoke can escape. The heated oxygen creates a second burn that reduces the smoke. That air gets super-heated (like the Bonfire 2.0) and exits the double walls at the rim of the fire pit. Air comes in through the bottom while cool air enters the double wall simultaneously. Using basically the same technology, the Y Series uses what Breeo calls Y Airflow technology (get it?). It is a very hot fire that evenly burns the logs, and the combustion is so efficient and thorough, no embers or unburnt logs are remaining." "There are no advanced features other than the basic design: air flows in from the bottom of the fire to produce a well-fueled burn, and air recirculates to the top to combust excess smoke. "The benefit is clearly once you've got a fire going," a tester reported. Once started, there's little fuel needed to sustain the fire. Double-wall construction also helps create excellent heat retention. It then "super-heats" the air to burn off smoke before leaving the pit. Solo Stove does it with its 360-degree Signature Airflow, which sends air through the bottom of the fire pit to ignite the flame. Starting an efficient fire is where both of these fire pits excel. As someone who has frequently struggled to light a fire in the wilderness (OK, fine, also in fireplaces and campsite fire pits.), I appreciate the innovations made in smokeless fire pits. Seriously, you can't go wrong with either. TripSavvy / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm Heating Performance To raise the Bonfire 2.0 from the ground, the additional stand is required (sold separately), which would add some weight.īut if transportation and portability is your main deciding factor, go with the Bonfire 2.0. The Y Series lifts to multiple heights from the ground with the extension legs. We think the added weight for the Y Series likely comes from the extension legs. Now, the weight does come with some caveats. Two people could easily carry it for a short distance, however."
Even though it comes with a carrying case, as you carry it more than a few steps, it will bang on your legs unless you have the deltoids of Dwayne Johnson. "While the specs say 20 pounds, it feels like 30 since it's such a large diameter. "This is actually quite heavier than expected," one tester of the Bonfire 2.0 reported. But we'll give the nod to the Bonfire 2.0 for two reasons: It comes with a carrying case and is about 8 pounds lighter than the Y Series while still being about the same size.
SOLO STOVE BONFIRE FIRE PIT PORTABLE
And even though these are portable fire pits and lighter than your traditional large iron pits, we wouldn't say either is exceptionally portable. That's one of the significant benefits of both of these fire pits. You can take them both out of the box, set them in a fire-safe spot, and light it up. We won't spend much time here because neither product requires any assembly.
