There's no better way to create good moments and lasting memories around a fire. The Solo Stove Bonfire pushes the limits of airflow efficiency and minimalist design, reinventing the backyard experience so you can get outside and have a roaring, smokeless fire in minutes. Solo Stove's Signature Airflow Design™ creates a super efficient burn that is mesmerizing to watch. Rising hot air and the absence of oxygen created by the combustion pulls air through the bottom vent holes. This airflow fuels the fire at its base while also providing fuel for the secondary burn to minimize smoke. The unit is made entirely of 304 stainless steel, and at just 20 pounds, the Solo Stove Bonfire is easy to transport for a perfect evening in the backyard, at the campground, or on the beach.
