The fire pit that travels well

Have the 30" Yukon - it's great unless you want to move it. Debated on this one and the Bonfire for the beach/camping. Really (really) happy we went with the Ranger. It's big enough for our family of 4 and a Cane Corso, yet fits in a SUV with said family and their small horse impersonating dog.
I’d checked Solo Stove out before, but at the time I had a large yard and plenty of trees that dropped deadwood. A more efficient fire pit was not a concern. I’ve moved to a smaller house and the neighbors are closer, so minimizing the smoke while still having a tall flame and a lot of heat was important. The Ranger delivers.
Flames burning blue and purple, standing about three feet above the rim, and nary a whiff of smoke, once the dampish wood and leaves caught fire. It burned a couple of arm loads of twigs and 5-6 wrist-thick branches over about ninety minutes. I left it still glowing red at around 11:00, and a check in the early morning found only cool ashes. As advertised.
I absolutely love sitting by a campfire but as a chronic migraine sufferer, sitting by the fire isn’t fun for me much anymore. The smell/smoke immediately triggers migraines for me. We went to a neighbors house who had the bonfire addition and I was BLOWN AWAY that I didn’t smell like fire or GET A MIGRAINE! Now this for me is huge. The same day we bought our camper we purchased the ranger size so we can take it along with us wherever we go. Thanks to your company and products I can enjoy camping to the fullest! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Added bonus, it is super simple to use and set up! will recommend to everyone!
I recently downsized and moved into a smaller home, with a smaller yard. We’ve never had any type of fire pit, and my kids were bugging me about getting a Chiminea or small fire pit. I was hesitant, because I wanted something that I would be able to move if it was in the way. Then I started seeing ads for the solo stove. Then I noticed a few friends had gotten the Bonfire version and loved it. I bit the bullet and ordered the Ranger. We all love it! I can put it on my deck, and then I can easily move it to the grass. We can also bring it to the little beach which is close by your house. I love how easy it is to move around. And it still throws off a ton of heat! It is lightweight, it is clean, and now we have one more reason to stay at home and love where we live!
