You’re welcome! I love mine!

Sweet. Make sure you use a screen mesh or they will fall through the holes. I like burning a combination of both wood and pellets.

You’re welcome!

Thanks Mark! They also now have a 19” version as well but it is a little shorter. I haven’t tested that one though.

Thank You. I was in the same boat And debated between the two but ultimately decided on this one because of how small it packs up yet how big it is when it’s together. The cooking bracket is a bonus also. I was excited to make this video because I could not find anything on this to actually show how it works when I was deciding between the two so hopefully some people find it useful.

It seems to put out a lot more smoke than a solo stove. Maybe it’s a real good camera. I could see black smoke coming off the fire pit. I do know that none are truly smokeless. I don’t mind the smoke. I’m just comparing the options. To save money. Buy no fire pit. Save money. Best smokeless fire pit. Spend money ( I don’t know what’s the best with all the competition out there). I do like that it has a stand for the pit and a pot.

Honestly, it depends how hot you have it if you haven’t loaded and super hot with dry wood you’ll have essentially almost no smoke. If the woods, a little bit wet and the fire is just getting going, then you will definitely have some smoke until it gets heated up. Overall I’ve been extremely satisfied with it.

@@JeremiahMcintosh Thanks for your response. Let’s say; you just use it in the backyard. I understand that people like what they like. I’m looking at the practical aspect of it. I noticed in a video of yours. You made a small smokeless pit. You can make a larger one. I do understand that it saved time. You plan on spending time burning wood anyway. I don’t mind the smoke from burning debris. Your neighbors may beg to differ. A junk yard would have old rims or 55 gallon drums or dryer etc… I don’t have the tools to make my own. I would not spend time on making a smokeless fire pit if I did. I do like the concept. It’s great to have people hang around a camp fire. I made a similar purchase. Flat pack camping grill. I can just burn wood on the ground. Forest rangers want a fire contained. I cannot control the sparks. I just want a excuse to tell a judge in case something happens.

Thanks Caleb! Your welcome.

Thanks. It’s the first one I’ve owned and there was a lot of back-and-forth on which one to get but glad I purchased this one.

Thank you TJ. The popcorn can one I made actually had that ring at the top because the inside can was a 1 gallon paint can that had a lip at the top.

I was actually looking at that one as well and decided to go with this one because of the stand.

Your welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes as you can see when I started it on day 2 of burning the pellets there was some discoloration but I think you get that with most stoves like this from my research. So far I love it and have not found any negatives however I’ve only had three fires in it so far Because of the weather here. I didn’t show it in the video because I was done filming but after I showed burning those pellets I threw all kind of stuff in this fire pit including some dead foliage from my outside planters a bunch of dry leaves that were on my patio and multiple buckets of sticks that were laying around the yard and it incinerated it all with very little ash at the end as I showed in the video when I dumped out the screen the next day. I debated for days between this and the Solostove Ranger because the Ranger has been on sale for about $230 with the bottom stand but I ultimately decided this one because of the included cooking bracket and the size and I’ve had no regrets yet. With that being said I have not had the opportunity to use a Solostove for comparison but like I said very happy with this one so far especially for the sale price of $140 as of 3/12/22. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

@@JeremiahMcintosh thank you appreciate the insight

Yes you still get some radiating heat from the sides but not as much by your feet. You do get more from the top though.

It’s actually holding up great however when not in use I clean it out and store it in my garage or keep it covered to keep the rain out. It did get rained on one time during use and I had no problems with it however, if you left it out in the rain uncovered all the time and it had wet coals in it, I could see the tray inside rusting out over time.

I didn’t actually make a KZfaq video on it but I posted a reel on my Instagram.

@@JeremiahMcintosh that would explain why I couldn't find it🤔

Thanks!

Yes i watched the video its a very good display, i am probally going to be getting me one. Just wandered after a few burns if it looks to be a solide unit 👍

I’ve had some very hot fires in it and no issues with it warping. It’s worked out great so far.

All the links are in the description of the video just open it up with the little arrow next to the video title then select more. The screen only works well if you’re using pellets if you’re only Burning wood you do not need it and it did seem like the screen I used was slightly too narrow and covered all but a few holes as I showed in the video.

Thank you!!

Ive used it about 5 times so far and it’s holding up good. The bottom holes are 1/2” and the small ashes do fall through easily.

@@JeremiahMcintosh awesome! Thanks for the reply!

@@JeremiahMcintosh okay another quick question: do you find that it smokes less after “breaking it in” by burning off any manufacturing residue that you mentioned might be the cause of the smoke in the video?

It actually smokes when you first start it till you get it nice and hot but I think this is how all smokeless fire pits are. After you get it nice and hot and it starts burning from the secondary burn holes there is way less smoke and what smoke there is pretty much goes straight up from the heat. I saw more smoke the first day I lit it but i think that was because it was very windy and new.

@@JeremiahMcintosh okay cool. Thanks again.

It doesn’t work as well that way unless you leave a hole in the center for air circulation inside because it will block all the air holes in the bottom.

@@JeremiahMcintosh Leon is quite right, this design is a TLUD (Top Lit Up Draft) stove, or a simple gasifier that is composed of a vertical tube that is filled with small pieces of wood, or densified biomass like pellets, balls or small briquettes. This is called a 'fuel bed. ' It is ignited at the TOP, and underfed with primary air from a grate at the bottom. This is quite different from a traditional fire. Give it a try.

​@@ryefield73 is the flame self limiting doing it that way, so there wouldn't be any concern about it getting out of control with such a large load of wood?

Lol it packs up pretty small you might be able to strap it on a rack 🔥🚴🏻‍♂️🔥

The amount of smoke is about the same once you get it nice and hot that will be the same with any smokeless fire pit. One thing I like about this one better is the way it packs up for transport!

Yes it is sturdy if you have it on the stand correctly. I haven’t had any problems with mine yet.

I bought a round grate for the top but haven’t had a chance to try it yet. You do have to have hot coals in the bottom without much flame to cook on a grate but I’m sure it will work well.
