Whenever my husband catches me watching one of your videos, he always says, “Just hold on for 2 more years, and we will live like them.” ❤️
We always enjoy your singing. It really makes your channel unique and special to us. Thank you and we hope you keep it up. 😊
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed your singing. Nice comparison.
Great job ! Makes me happy when you do a mid week video also.
Great reviews of the two products and we got the cherry on top of the cake with Owen doing a tune!
Oh goodness, thank you for the song!! Need MORE please 💕
Great comparing the 2 solo and the parkway stove. I like them both. If no room I will use the park away stove. I would bring the solo stove if I had lots of room. Nice that solo has stepped it up though with their accessories. I see their commercials a lot The steaks looked good. Yummy! Where’s mine? lol! Loved you singing at the end Owen. Lynn’s lucky to have you around. A cook and a singer. lol! Great video!
Great comparison Owen! They each have their purpose and Solo has really stepped up their game with accessories to increase their stove's functionality.
Great job on the video and the song was great too
Loved the song!
That’s so funny! I love “tending” the fire. Always carry a special pokie stick with us. 😂 I didn’t really consider that you don’t need to do that with the Solo stove. 😢 We travel in a van, and have a propane ammo can fire pit. And a 5 lb propane can. Not the same as a wood fire, but takes up very little space.
I can't commit on the Solo Stove, as I have never used one but we have been using the Popup Pit for the past few years, and we love it.
Thanks for a great presentation! Love your song by the way
Solo stove for the win except for size / packable....sweet music to end it
We recently bought the same pop up fire pit and we really like it. One of the main reasons is one thing you said. The campground fire rings are rarely in a good place. We like we can put it wherever we want.
Thanks for the comparison. I have been thinking about the pop up fire pit for a while then you mentioned the smoke taste from cooking on it and that push me over the edge. Enjoyed your song at the end as well.
I’m just getting back into these videos again as we build out our camper van and prepare for our first big trip. We have a little folding fire pit that we may or may not take with us. This was really helpful.
Good luck with your build. Sound exciting.
As always enjoy your channel!! BS & BK &BC !!!!!!!
Great review. Smokie fires are a problem for us. Looks like Solo would be a win for us. Thanks. Music was nice too.
I just use the one at the campsite 😊
I have a metal grate from a grill that I take with me ad place it on top of the solo stove to cook on
That is a great idea, I need to look and see if I can find an extra grate.
Somehow I missed this video. We got a Solo Stove off your recommendation 9ish months ago and love it. I do like the size of the other mesh fire pit due to the fact that we have a van but always take our solo stove. It's definitely worth it for us. Thanks for the comparison video.
Thanks for sharing. It’s worth it for us too.
I shooooow did like that Juanita song.
We have both, but are in a Class B; No room for the big old Solo Stove. We are considering a small trailer to take things like that. We do have the smaller Mesa XL Solo Stove and it does a surprising job at flame and heat. And it does fit in our rear storage box. Thanks for the video. Happy Tails!
We have a class b van and the Mesa XL solo stove. That works for us
Two fire pits and a song! You can not beat a Van Trekking video. Thanks for giving us the comparison, I want a solo but just don't have the room in Sherman. We are home and the house is OK now I have got to get caught up on You Tube. Happy tails and safe travels
We get it. Have enough room in the Ekko but if we ever downsized we'd have to make some hard decisions too
I have the Pop Up Fire Pit. I like the way it packs down. I start a fire to sit around and stay warm and maybe cook on it. As you said, and so have others, you won’t be as warm sitting around a Solo. They finally had to admit this themselves and develop a heat reflector. I’d have to carry a Solo and the reflector. Too much room. I also carry a Trail Fire Grill 4 in 1.
Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated.
Great comparison. I have a cooking grate for my solostove that works pretty well too. Thank you!
Great tip!
The pop-up fire pit is it easy to get a replacement screen if you ever need to get one
How do you get a replacement screen?
Nice and interesting ❤👍
Thanks for watching
Thanks for playing a song
I'm not mhched interested in ooen fires, but I loved your singing. Do mire if that please.
We have both also. We find the heat output to be more on the pop up as the sides aren’t as high as the Solo stove. You can also put your feet under the pop up. The heat from the Solo stove comes straight out the top with little radiant heat around the sides.
Totally agree. Can't even count the number of times winter camping where we've pushed our toes under the pop-up to get warm.
Ever try the Solo Stove Heat Deflector? It directs some heat downward to warm your feet.
No we haven't. Looks like a good option if you have the room.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle There's a bag for the shield to keep the soot off you. The "cone" fits inside the stove for transport and doubles for the cooking grates. I simply use a bbq grill on top of the cone. Both the cooking and heat deflecting work great.
Would seem pop up would cool down quicker for transport.
It does for sure. You can empty it in fire fire pit and it cools off pretty quickly.
