Where have you been my entire camping life?!

Saw the ranger in action when a friend brought it out for a camping excursion. It was extremely easy to start a fire and reduced the amount of smoke and that lovely smokey smell (right before bed!). Needless to say, I bought mine while on that trip and it arrived the day after I got home. Well 1 week later we put our own into action and it worked just as expected. The portability of this unit is great for our travel trailer and clean up is a breeze. The only problem, and this isn't Solo's fault (not Han or company), is that campground wood is a big larger for the opening, so you will get some smoke.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my YUKON!!! My guest's and neighbor's are very impressed with but most importantly my daughter and I love it! It's not entirely smokeless though, they should not advertise it that way. The truth is it burns so efficient and the second burn helps limit smoke, also the airflow design pushes it straight up so that it doesn't get on your clothes or on your eyes.
We just fired the Ranger up for the first time at home, on the day we received it. Super impressed. It was so easy to start, not like a few negative reviews I had read. And wow, I was not expecting how much heat it would put out! Can’t wait to have the neighbors over for fireside drinks and treats this fall, as well as easily hauling it when we go camping. So glad we made the purchase.
Perfect size for our family of 4 in our smallish suburban backyard. Gives off an amazing amount of heat for our cool PNW evenings and doesn't throw any sparks. Always a concern during our dry summers! My neighbor rushed outside within minutes of our first fire and wanted to know where she could buy one!
There is no easier way to start and keep a fire going. Wind or slight drizzle...simple. No fire pit, no problem. My only regret is waiting to get this.
I just purchased a Ranger fire pit for my sister. This is the 4th Solo pit/stove I have purchased. Be prepared to own more than one. You will find an excuse to buy more. I love the Ranger for it’s portability. It’s small in size and big on warmth and fun. I also own the Bon Fire which I use on my wood deck often. No problem with scorching. If you have thought about purchasing a Solo stove, don’t wait any longer. You will be missing some of the best evenings of your life.
I got this as a gift after using my mom's and loving it so much! Fire starts quickly with little effort and a little bit of paper/smaller logs. Fire burns super hot and doesn't leave anything but ash when it goes out. It is easy to transport with the carrier bag provided, we have taken it to friends houses and camping with ease. My only complaint would be that most typical sized logs that you can buy don't always fit to give the "smokeless" bonfire. If it were slightly wider it would probably fit those logs. With that being said, the smaller pit is portable, and once your fire wood burns below the rim of the fire pit it burns smokeless. Overall it is a great quality product and would buy again for sure!
