Yukon Solo Stove Fire Pit Review Full written review coming soon. To purchase, please visit: amzn.to/34gPUCQ #weekendwarrior Join this channel to get access to perks: / @concordcarpenter
I made one of these "styles" of a stove out of two stainless steel stock pots a few years ago. A couple things I learned, it is only smokeless when it has a hot burning fire with the wood below the top ring. Also, the double wall doesn't make it a good fire pit to sit around and expect to stay warm on cold nights. There isnt all that much radiant heat that comes off of it except at the top. This said, the ambiance and cool factor, two thumbs up.
Its waaay too overpriced for what it is and especially for being made in China, which was ment to make it cheaper. Greed is a great sin. They sell stoves on sale using BOGO principle, which really tells about the pricing - its real cost is twice lower than they usually sell and they still make profit of it. Think about it.
Ageeed, I use a stainless steel washing machine drum and love it. Got 7 years of clean clothes out of it and now I enjoy it as a firepit. This maybe has more features but mine was free.
@@vicariousjohnson9823 hahaha, it could but it doesn't. It looks exactly like what they show in the video except it has holes throughout the sides that let you see the fire inside.
Can you burn yard or garden waste? Like fresh and old vines and vegetable plants that are done for the season? Thanks for making the video. Have a Great Day
I feel like every review should start with whether or not they received it for free, reduced price, or paid full price and no compensation from the company.
I’m curious why you feel that way? We’ve built a reputation of professional, honest reviews. We have no editorial oversight, and the freedom to say what we want.

@@stephenbates2840 backyard bundle is 839 here and had less then the ultimate bundle which is 849 but them bundles are literally everything showed in this video the ring and the top peices I mean a complete kit would of been nice meaning all the bbq and grill items everything in this video and some of the other accessories the bundles they offer are not that great especially for the price when they can give you more accessories in these tiny bundles
Your right, I looked into it, and they are made in China...disappointing. I'm planning on getting a firepit next spring, and Breeo is my new top contender.
So all of the air goes in at the bottom under the fire...some of that air travels up the between the double wall...as the now hot air exits the top holes it ignites the unburned fuel that would have presented as smoke. Cool eh?
You have not gone to a single restaurant since March. I am sure the closing businesses in this country are happy with your comment. Sorry I will continue to support the small restaurants.

Don’t believe the hype on these......they are finicky as hell to get going. Save $300 to $400 and just a a regular fire bowl pit. I’ve had both and the fire bowl wins hands down.
This statement couldn’t be more of a lie. I think you just need to learn how to start a fire. That bowl fire pit is trash and you’ll have to replace it many more times before you ever need to replace this.
No such thing as smokeless. It burns wood, wind blows forget about it plus wood stinks and pisses of the neighbor's and embers are fire hazards. Cool review though.

Great information thanks
I have the ranger and it’s perfect for my tiny backyard. 4 people can sit around it feel heat radiating. Great purchase.
I got the bonfire really cheap recently for $260. With the stand , enjoy sitting outdoors with friends and family and we don’t stink of smoke.
I've been considering one of these for a couple years. This is the most complete review I've seen yet. Im going to have to get one of these.
Glad you enjoyed it -- and hope you enjoy yours!
Love these "after work" reviews!!
I have a very similar looking model made by Bosch. Only cost me twenty minutes of taking apart my worn out washing machine with stainless steel drum.
Awesome idea. I'll may do that.
I've done this! It's great, but lasts 1 year, and looks janky.
I made one of those from an old washing machine drum lol
Jed Clampett would be proud
@@ConcordCarpenter not as proud as me after seeing the price of that one
Nice. Good use of up purposing of a item.
Just got one for my husband for Xmas. I hope he likes it

Awesome 👍🏼

I would imagine you could but it will smoke
I have the Bonfire Solo fire pit and I love it.
Well, guess I just found my gift to myself
Thanks for the review. Love that Ben was throwing back a Schilling brew!
Any time!
Thanks! Such a good beer!
"Smoke only blows in the face of an idiot" 😂
Damn expensive but surely will last for a long time

@@bnwww Thanks Brad
What difference does that make. Geez...dick.
To bad they don't have this in a complete kit all firepit items the cover and all the accessories in a combo kit would be nice
They have the yukon backyard bundle check it out. Would cost me more than $1200 nzd to get to New Zealand.

Your grandpa would say: you paid how much?
Does the Yukon keep your legs warm on a cooler night? I tend to use my firepit in colder weather. Thanks!
Yes it does!
Not easy to clean. Getting the ashes out is difficult. You have to pick it up and dump it. Not easy since it’s heavy.
Yes it's easy...just turn it over...tap on it...ashes come right out...unless you're a child 😳
You can also use a shop vac
Do you need the heat deflector or does it spread enough heat around?
If you want to stay warm on cool evenings, yes you need the heat deflector to disburse heat heat out and down.
I have the Yukon
Was this review sponsored? Your friend didn’t seem very specific on price, which makes me think he got it for free.
It is not sponsored but we do get products for free if you’d like to learn more about that you can read my disclosure policy @concordcarpenter.com
a cheap grill ,makes a great pit.
I like it... but this price would make me feel the burn
Hah - good pun. Wish we had thought of that for the video!
MUMOD BIOS haha nice
Very cool review guys neet firepit
I went with the Breeo, US made instead of Chinese.
Your right, I looked into it, and they are made in China...disappointing. I'm planning on getting a firepit next spring, and Breeo is my new top contender.
@@murc111 Good for you! I did the same and I love it. Made in Pennsylvania
Hi, from the UK, looking at these as my partner doent want her clothes or the house to smell.. what's your thoughts??
No smoke odor!
Enjoy by yourself!! 👍🏼
I dented one. Someone please give good advice on how to fix it
just undent it.
rob looks like he has relapsed praying for u brother
Nice review. Smokeless, OK. Do you still at least get a campfire smell?
Yes I do!
Mostly only heat comes out the top.
They seem cheap made compared to the heavy-duty Evergreen fire pits.
How is it possible for it to be smokeless? What is the science behind that.
So all of the air goes in at the bottom under the fire...some of that air travels up the between the double wall...as the now hot air exits the top holes it ignites the unburned fuel that would have presented as smoke. Cool eh?
It’s between the gasification and secondary burn there’s almost no smoke
I love it but $600 dollars is a lot of money 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Use hardwood
But I can see smoke 🤣
Very little,
Patagonia and Solo Stove? You guys must be from the PNW
We're actually outside of Boston, but we do spend a lot of time outdoors
It's nice, but too rich for my blood.
What a scam! It's a washing machine!
I like my breeo a lot better
Will have to look at that one
So you also have a Solo and compared them?
I would hope so with an $1149 price tag for the 30"!!! This is $434 for a 27".
You have not gone to a single restaurant since March. I am sure the closing businesses in this country are happy with your comment. Sorry I will continue to support the small restaurants.
Some people have pre existing conditions - I’m happy you don’t. We support our local business a different way
@@ConcordCarpenter I am sure you love Newesome and the way he has shut down restaurants in CA.

Let the liberals complain about the greenhouse effect gas.
No one is complaining about greenhouse effect gas other than you.

so far so good - we have a hundred or more hours on this

Matthew Morris………2:00am comments on Thanksgiving morning?!?!🤣😂🤣😂 you got bigger problems then fire pits. Get a life
No such thing as smokeless. It burns wood, wind blows forget about it plus wood stinks and pisses of the neighbor's and embers are fire hazards.
Cool review though.
weird, you were talking, but all I heard was Waaaaawaaaaaaa.
You obviously haven’t played with fire it’s awesome
