Great looking stove and adorable Wife. If you want a glass smooth cooking surface for cast iron, use a disk sander on an electric drill. Thanks for your review and all the best.
Light it on the TOP - Thats how these work. Cut your branches to fit just below the top vents, stand them on end and light them on the top. You can also put in a grate that has smaller holes on the bottom, and use barbecue type wood pellets - theey last a long time
Yeah in the 3 years since making this video I have a good system- installed the pellet adapter and heat deflector- does an amazing job pushing out some heat and the pellets go a long way!!
I like that the Solo Stove contains the ashes so that you can dump them later. Seems a lot safer. And it doesn't have a lot of parts. Just the main body and top. Thanks for the video.
I just got mine. Late to the party! As you had printed out in the video maybe i wont use as much wood but thanks for sharing! Im excited to actually use mine camping but it does put out a little warmth out in the yard on a cold March day in NC!
We have used this little stove so many times! It's great for campsite ambiance, easy to load with branches and scraps of wood, and it does produce a bit of heat also! I've been able to exercise some self control with the fuel loading and have made some amazing meals with it. Enjoy yours!
@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED thanks for the reply! I dont get those too often in the wide wonderful world of youtube. Glad to hear you are getting alot of use from yours as well. Still excited with it. So far I have used it every day since I got it Friday! Nice little 30 minute to an hour fires just to relax. Keep up the good work and i have subscribed.
When did you get yours? I ordered on August 11 directly from the manufacturer and received mine on about September 21. I have Solo Titan for several years and took it with me from Montenegro for a family reunion to Boundary Waters, Minnesota for a multi-day canoe trip. I just tried my new Campfire on the past weekend and I can say it is the Beast - very powerful! However, it can be tamed for milder tasks. Your test is actually a challenge for the stove, demonstrating that it can handle a tiny amount of food without burning it! Solo Campfire could boil 6-8 liters of water without problem, taking into account that Titan can handle up to 4 liters easily.
That's crazy the delay for yours- I ordered mine on Sept 10th from the Solo website, was promised early October but received it on September 20th. It is a great little fireplace/stove. We're planning on using it with our Winnebago Revel when boondocking. Very well engineered little unit.
This is no critique, but just a tip, since you mentioned being health freaks. Maybe see if you can replace your plastic cooking ware, as each time it comes into contact with heat it'll leak a bit of chemicals, onto your foods. They say the food grade (5) plastic is all safe, but still better stay away I'd say :)
This is definitely the size to get IMO. Because it doesn't radiate heat well but does boil water and fry food well I don't even know why the bigger ones are popular
After having this and the larger solo stove I agree with you. The larger one goes through wood like crazy and as you mentioned the radiant heat is very poor. We use the campfire all the time.
Thanks for your video. I think your wife did a great job ! Quick question, do you think we could use the solo stove in our wood burner at home? We have a large wood burning stove ( clearview stove ) with 30cm hight, the solo stove would fit in there (this is for worst case scenario) and we could leave the door open to feed the solo stove and also make sure enough oxygen is provided.
It does put out some heat- I've used it camping before and it's not like a big fire but if you stay close you can get some warmth- it does create a nice ambiance with the flame.
Just got back from my camping trip to the Smoky Mountains. It got down to maybe 50 or so at night, this little stove can keep you warm if you are right up next to it. It's not a substitute for campfire or a solo bonfire, but it's not bad. Did a hell of a job on my teriyaki chicken dinner though!
@@Dionisio181 Lol no need to be sorry! I get that some people get carried away with tech toys. One of the nice things about camping it getting away from all that!
That's interesting. This was not a paid review, I purchased this and have been very happy with it after 3 years of heavy use. The heat deflector is a must have for these.
Wood pellets work great in these rocket stoves, easy to store to light with denatured alcohol , makes a nice campfire
Thank you for the content warning about the horrific knife handling skills. I feel it was necessary.
Great Rolex review 🤪
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for demonstrating. Yeah, we definetly need to go easy on the twigs and such.

Thanks for the video.
I agree, I've used it several times and absolutely love it, it is really well made, and like you said, safe and simple. Thanks for watching!
I think you are supposed to make coals first then cook. That’s how I use mine.
Just bought one for $65 with a Prime day deal. Already have a Ranger. Looking forward to having a good small stove
That's a great deal, you're gonna love it, j use it all the time camping. Wood pellets work great in these things.
My wonderful boyfriend just surprised me with a Prime Day Solo Stove purchase, too! Can't wait to try it out.

I just got the Titan planning to use it in my small big green egg plus experimenting with just plan cooking,
Thumbs up for the review,down for the cooking technique though. Haha
nice video, the young lady is simply adorable. You're a lucky man my friend
Nice Sub Flex at 03:40.
Really nervous when she's using the knife 😁😅
Lol yes she's a little sloppy with it! :)
Jeez I was worried someone was going to grab the Pan handle the whole time. Flame frigging ON
Yeah we let that get a bit out of control. We've got it figured out now lol.
I would have gave it a Thumbs up. Then you put freaking Turkey Bacon on it!!
You think the Turkey is a protected species or something??
Haha. Was thinking the same thing...
Your wife is the absolute cutest!

@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED Ah Awesome! 🙏 Happy I could’ve share that with you! Take care

I really would like a titanium version of that stove, as you would not have to wait as long before it cooled down. Also a bit of weight saved.
Tennessee Represent!
Rolex flex @ 3:40
Thanks for your video. I think your wife did a great job !

Is this something you can have on the terrace and give you a little bit of warmth on a cold winter day? or do you not feel much heat coming from it?
It does put out some heat- I've used it camping before and it's not like a big fire but if you stay close you can get some warmth- it does create a nice ambiance with the flame.
@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED Thanks!
I like it! Its nice,,,😀
I'm glad you like it
Really natural video! Realworld experience. Refreshing. Thankyou.
So many of us are "over messy"! Lady wife is a star.
Quick.. check the Rolex!
Should have been wearing my Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.
Have you thought about a ring to put it on a table top? The table top version is just to small but it is nice.
I would use a 12"x12"x2" Square Edge Refractory tile to do that.
@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED Thanks
My wife is just as bad around knives.
It looks like being just the right side for cooking.
How hot do the bottom get? Would it leave marks on a wood table?
Yes it would leave marks on a wood surface, it gets pretty hot when she's up and running
Rolly Flex 🤣
That flame is wayyyyy too big to be cooking.
It was our first time lol.
Would this work for two people in camp chairs to sit around for warmth too? Or is it too small for that ?
We have used it for that several times, it's not like a full on campfire but it provides some heat and ambiance!
what's the make of the thermometer
Flir E4 with the E8 hack/upgrade
What would you say the range (in feet) is for the radiant heat that comes from that solo stove?
I'm taking it camping in the Smokies tonight, I'll let you know!!

Love how your cast iron didn't stick. I finally learned how to season my pans
Need oven mit lol
You must have been cringing when she was harsh with that Microtech.
Can you use charcoal!?
Never heard of that in one of these, not sure that's a good idea lol
@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED show and tell video 😂
About to drop a new one with the ignite firecan deluxe, cook steak, hotdogs, chicken and fish. Slightly better performance!
R u kidding? Where is the stakes?? Lol
Omg ... too much fire
Yeah we got a little carried away the first time. Have since figured out how to manage it with a smaller fuel load. :)
What size skillet were you using?
That's a 10" Lodge Cast Iron. Made a ton of meals on it since making the video, and learned you don't need to make an inferno to cook on!
@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED wow! That stove is bigger than I thought. I have an 8" Lodge. That'll work perfectly. Thank you!
Yeah man I love the size of it, no regrets it's a solid camp stove/fireplace
Hate when people start using those heat guns to measure temperature, i am not carring one of those things when i am in the trail in the woods
Well it's the only way to express the data. Just standing by a fire and saying "it's hot" means nothing.
@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED Sorry man, it's on me
@@Dionisio181 Lol no need to be sorry! I get that some people get carried away with tech toys. One of the nice things about camping it getting away from all that!
I think it’s burned 😆
For sure. First time out of the box test. The take away- use less wood!
Every review is the same

This is embarrassing
Thanks for the kind words!!
5:54 Probably not🤓
