I made quick use of my Ranger for a backyard cook-in with links and k-bobs. We kept the wood relatively low so as to not produce too much heat and not have a roaring hot fire. We love the size for portability but large enough to circle with a family of four. Superb product. I'll be checking out accessories and possibly before winter consider perhaps the Bonfire model.
It used to be where a good TV sitcom brought families together, including mine. Taking a step outside, SoloStove has reinvented family time. When my kids see my husband prepping for a bonfire, they immediate gravitate toward the comfort around the fire. It truly is the one time where I can look around and not see one person on their device. We laugh and talk and spend some awesome family time around our SoloStove. Since having this, at the end of the day, it had brought our family together. As a mom that speaks volumes. It so hard to get 5 kids in the same room let alone outside together! I love a nice bonfire but always found where I snuck away because for whatever reason smoke loves me around a fire. Rest assured, I have not had one moment where I felt smoked out! The engineering behind SoloStove is amazing and allows for longer evening sitting fireside with my family!
After sharing my Bonfire with family I had to purchase a Yukon for my sister on her birthday last year. I thought I was finished, then the Ranger came along! The last camping trip cost me two more. One person insisted on taking my Ranger home with him in it's convenient carry bag. Then my niece decided that a Ranger is the perfect city dwellers necessity.(Of course her birthday just happened to be coming up) Now that I have one to myself again it's date night in the desert night! Leaving home without the Ranger is the only guarantee you will still have one when you get back.
I love my new ranger it so nice to not have smoke in your face, yes it really works love it and it is great to have the storage bag so I can bring in my basement with no mess !
Great product! I was so skeptical at first about its claims of low smoke, not burning my deck. But it’s true! It was a real treat to have a hassle-free fire pit right on the deck. It was wonderful not choking on smoke. It also felt much safer with my children around. Looking forward to continued use. Thank you!!
