Understanding the Solo Stove Bonfire
The Solo Stove Bonfire is a portable, smokeless fire pit designed to enhance your outdoor gatherings. Its unique double-walled construction creates a secondary combustion process, resulting in minimal smoke and a more efficient burn. This innovative design also allows for a cleaner burn, leaving behind only a small amount of ash.
Choosing the Right Location
Before setting up your Solo Stove Bonfire, it’s crucial to select a suitable location. Choose a flat, stable surface away from flammable objects, overhanging branches, and combustible materials. Ensure there is ample space around the fire pit for ventilation and to prevent any accidental contact with heat.
Assembling the Solo Stove Bonfire
Assembling your Solo Stove Bonfire is a breeze. Simply unfold the legs of the base unit and insert the fire ring into the base. Secure the fire ring with the included screws, and your fire pit is ready to go.
Fueling the Bonfire
The Solo Stove Bonfire is designed to burn seasoned hardwood logs or charcoal. Seasoned firewood contains less moisture, burns more efficiently, and produces less smoke. Avoid using softwoods as they tend to spark and produce more smoke.
Lighting the Bonfire
To light your Solo Stove Bonfire, start by creating a small pile of dry tinder in the center of the fire ring. You can use newspaper, cardboard, or natural tinder like dry leaves or bark. Once the tinder is burning, gradually add small logs or charcoal to the fire.
Controlling the Fire
Once the fire is established, you can control its intensity by adjusting the airflow. The Solo Stove Bonfire features adjustable air vents on the base unit. Opening the vents allows more oxygen to enter the fire, increasing its intensity. Closing the vents reduces airflow, slowing down the burn.
Enjoying the Bonfire
As your Solo Stove Bonfire burns, sit back and enjoy the mesmerizing flames and the warmth they radiate. The smokeless design ensures a clear view of the fire, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Extinguishing the Bonfire
When you’re ready to extinguish the fire, simply close the air vents completely. This will cut off the oxygen supply and smother the flames. Once the fire is out, allow the Solo Stove Bonfire to cool completely before handling it.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To maintain your Solo Stove Bonfire in optimal condition, clean it regularly. Use a brush or compressed air to remove any ash or debris from the fire ring and base unit. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the fire pit.
