#Solo stove bonfire fire pit series
While the Breeo Y series fire pit is a more reasonable weight than its predecessor for lifting and comes with an attached handle, we found it still difficult to pick up and dump the ash. The removable ash plate makes it simple to remove the leftover ash after a fire.Īfter the coals and ash have all completely cooled (we always wait until the next day to clean up), simply put a glove on and lift out the ash pan to dispose. Solo Stove took the lead in this category with the new release of the Bonfire 2.0 model. While the Bonfire doesn’t have a built-in handle, it comes with a really nice and durable carrying case. Another feature that sets the Y series apart from the X series is the built-in articulated handle making it simple to just pick it up and go. Though the Breeo Y series fire pit weighs 8 pounds more than the Bonfire, both are built to be portable. The good news is you can still roast marshmallows without any of those extra add-ons, however, we highly recommend Solo Stove’s roasting sticks for that endeavor. The Solo Stove cooking system is locked into a fixed height and that presents real challenges sometimes when cooking over a live fire. If your fire is too hot, raise the grate. The thing we appreciated about the outpost grill is that the height is adjustable. Solo Stove offers a cooking system that includes a hub with 3 different styles of cast iron cooktops ( grill, wok, griddle) that is available for the Bonfire. The Breeo Y series is compatible with all of the X19 cooking accessories including the outpost grill and searplate griddle. However, both brands have cooking accessories available.
Neither smokeless fire pit comes standard with a clear way to use it to cook. Both brands do an excellent job at drastically reducing the smoke which definitely contributes to the best smokeless fire pit experience. The air rises within the gap between the two walls and then the hot air then exits the double wall through holes around the rim, mixing with the smoke and resulting in a secondary combustion.ĭuring our testing, we found the smokeless performance to be pretty equal between the Breeo Y Series fire pit and the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 when burning wood. (I suppose in the Breeo Y, this would now be called the Y airflow rather than the X airflow raised air vent, but it’s the exact same concept just a different letter of the alphabet and shape on the floor of the pit.) In the Breeo X series, the patented X airflow system on the bottom invites oxygen in to feed the fire.
Both fire pits are engineered to maximize airflow, utilizing a double wall design that encourages more oxygen into the fire pit to burn off the smoke before exiting out the top, resulting in a beautiful secondary burn. The science behind making these smokeless fire pits is basically the same for both brands. The Bonfire fire pit would require the stand, sold separately (MSRP $69.99) in order to be used on combustible surfaces. We find the legs to be plenty sturdy in any position and did not have any issues with the fire pit wobbling. The adjustable legs make it so that the Y series is safe to light over any surface (grass, deck, woodchips, etc.) without scalding the ground beneath.
They are easily adjusted (prior to lighting your fire) between 3 heights for stow, burn, and cook. One of the key standout features of the new Breeo Y series fire pit is the adjustable height legs. Personally, a wood fire in the Breeo Y Series fire pit is by far my favorite, but the ability to burn charcoal and pellets is also nice to have in my back pocket as additional options. (Note to self, buy a chainsaw…) Consequently, the time to achieve a smokeless burn was also much longer than when we used firewood.

In our experience, we found that burning pellets took a much longer time to reach a full burn, but was a convenient option when all of the wood left on our wood rack was too long for this size of a smokeless fire pit.
