Campfire but Glampfire: The Solo Stove
Picture this: the sun is setting, casting a warm golden glow across the landscape. You gather around the crackling fire, mesmerized by the dancing flames.
I LOVED camping. LOVED it. But at some point of my life I got… snobby. Sleeping on the ground and running to the porta potty in the middle of the night was kinda brutal. I don’t know when it happened or why, but these days I crave those nights by the campfire. I miss chit-chatting with friends without sleeping on the ground.
So to recapture this wonder, I bought a firepit. The first firepit was TRASH. Smokey AF. You could barely sit by it without going into a coughing fit. So I decided not to cheap out and got the Solo Stove, which is advertised to be a smokeless firepit.
Pro
Less Smoke: It’s not 100% smokeless but I noticed a substantially less smoke using this firepit over my crappy first firepit
Looks Cute. It’s silver and it doesn’t look like the ugly wire firepits. We aren’t camping y’all. We are glamping.
You can cook on it! K BBQ, smoke some chicken. Get those campfire meals in the comfort of your house.
Cons
Cleaning it. Ash builds up and you gotta toss it before you start the next fire. Not a deal breaker and not unique to the Solo stove, but it is annoying.
Price. It is not as cheap as my smokey dokey $50 firepit, but it is a lot less smokey
DO it. Get the Solo Stove. Don’t cheap out. I promise you won’t regret it. You can buy the smaller version, but trust be, the bigger version is warmer and better.
