Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 with Stand, Smokeless Fire Pit | Wood Burning Fire Pits for Garden w/Removable Ash Pan, Portable Outdoor Firepit, Stainless Steel, 49.5 x 44.5 cm, 10 kg

Yup it is a costly fire pit, but if you like the contemporary looks and colours (we went for green), it works well as a smokeless unit once it has warmed up (approx. 15mins of smoke).

We’ve all been there. You want a nice fire to compliment your outdoor gathering and get smoked out along with your neighbours too.However, this changes things. Once bedded in, it really is smokeless and gives off a load of heat too. Comes with the base ring which helps with sturdiness and it’s well made. Looks good too. Easy to clean and would thoroughly recommend.

I bought a Mesa XL first, which I love and is great for camping or a couple sitting around, but couldn't resist upgrade my main fire pit to the larger Solo Bonfire - not cheap, but I don't regret it. It is by far the best fire we've ever had. It kicks out loads of heat, it's really easy to keep burning, and it is relatively smoke free other than the initial lighting as you'd expect.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had a few fire pits but this is the best by a long way. It gives off a lot of heat, but without the smoke. It’s expensive, but still a good buy.

I'd been researching this for ages. Had bought other fire bowls but the heat underneath was always a great concern, killing grass or cracking a patio. I was also concerned about spending this much on yet another firebowl that would be no better than previous purchases .This design is excellent. Its easy to light, although still some smoke, very little compared to other products. It is possible to wear the same clothes again without a wash. You can even sit down wind without getting red eyes. The bottom remains cold, about 3 or 4degrees above ground temp. I could touch it no problem, even with internal temp 400c after 2 hours burning. The outer coating does not change colour. Its not that heavy, and well made. My only slight disappointment was that the colour called water looks blue in the advertising photos to me, but turned out to be grey. However the flames are brilliant and your not sitting by it to look at the outside. It puts out a lot of heat, easily getting 6 around the bonfire version. Its been used dozens of times and still in very good condition. You tend to get dirty hands cleaning it as in the uk it often rains overnight making the ash mucky to clean out. Not a design fault, but might make buying the lid more attractive, although the cost of the lid and other accessories is considerable. We love it. It gets through a lot of wood!

I did not expect too much before using it. But after I saw the flame channels I understood this is a high quality product.The build quality is nearly perfect and patented airflow technology is really working. If you want a smokeless fire then you need a bigger fire to keep the airflow going on.

Fabulous fire pit

Product looks good and is marketed well but doesn’t really live up to the hype. Lovely to have on the decking in the evening but I’m yet to see it as a smokeless product. Used with the stand it doesn’t get overly hot on the bottom but all in all it’s overpriced for what it is.
