Love sitting by a fire?

I had my doubts that this would be worthwhile, but it truly is. The Ranger is easy to light, and produces quite a brilliant fire, with good heat. It also burns very completely, producing a miniscule amount of ash. I've been using it every chance I get, including transporting it between home and remote locations. My brother, brother-in-law, and son have all liked it so much that they bought their own.
Bad-a*s little unit. Performs as advertised. Builds a clean, hot flame and creates glowing orange embers. Keeps smoke to a minimum. Pretty flawless design. Careful not to touch exterior even when flame dies as steel remains very hot.
Son told us of a friend he camps with that has a Solo Stove and how nice it was. Looked at them on line and decided that I liked using wood more then heating pellets. My Flame Genie needed pellets added all the time to keep the fire going. Couldn’t roast marshmallows or hotdogs over the heating pellets due to the chemicals used to hold pellets together. Had my first fire in my Ranger last night. What a big difference. Didn’t have to add fuel all the time and had a warmer fire and very little to no smoke. Love this fire pit. Feel like I’m camping now.
Because of covid, we've gone to exclusively seeing friends outdoors and distanced. In our yard the best place for that is our deck, and having the Ranger now means that we will still be able to safely see a friend or two while outside in the fresh air and keep toasty warm. We couldn't be more thrilled with this purchase. The heat is concentrated and super warm even with just a small amount of wood. Marshmallows beware, it is HOT right over the top and you might get a flaming one faster than planned. Easy to move around, we look forward to getting some accessories to make it even more fun for our family. I admit I am sometimes suspicious of things I see advertised by Facebook, but I'm really glad this came across my feed.
I received and used my Solo Stove ranger for the first time last evening. I must start by saying that it arrived lightning quick with no issues! It was easy to "assemble".... basically, I took it out of the box and it was ready to use within about 2 minutes. I was very impressed how easily I was able to get a roaring fire going. Once the stove heated up, it was indeed fairly smoke-free and clean burning. It produced a decent amount of heat and the flame itself looked just like the pictures. The stand kept the ground underneath perfectly cool, so no concerns about damaging the deck or the lawn. This product has so far lived up to its promises!
I love this thing! It is so very useful for the backyard. It fits well in a small backyard and keeps us warm. I'd recommend it too because I feel safer with it than a regular fire pit
Wasn't sure we wanted to make the "commitment" to a built in a fire pit. Decided to take a chance on the solo stove. Cannot say enough good things about it! We went with the smaller size Ranger because on a given night it's just the two of us; however, we had six adults hang out as well. It is BEYOND easy to use and the lack of smoke - you can't put a price tag on. Clean up? Seriously? Burns down to NOTHING. Bad weather coming? No problem, just put it in the carrying case that's included and store it out of the way. It takes up almost no room. We bought the stand and lid as well. It's the perfect addition to our back patio.
