How the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit works

It is because of the double wall, that the Solo Stove Bonfire is able to operate so efficiently. The air intake holes on the bottom of the stove direct air to the bottom of the fire while simultaneously, directing warm air up between the walls of the stove. This burst of preheated air feeding back into the firebox through the smaller holes at the top of the stove causes a secondary burn process. This allows the fire to burn more complete which is why there is very little smoke produced during full burning. A more efficient combustion process also means you’ll use less wood compared to an ordinary wood burning fire pit or an open camp fire.

Once burning, the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit gets very hot, Don’t touch or move it with bare hands, preferably wait until the fire is out.
