Solo Stove Ranger 2.0 with Stand, Smokeless Fire Pit | Wood Burning Fireplaces with Removable Ash Pan, Portable Outdoor Firepit - Ideal for Camping, Stainless Steel, 38 x 41,5 cm, 7,3 kg

Product Information

When we tested the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 on a more inclement day – when there were mild Spring-time winds but nothing that would dry your sheets in record time – the firepit was more or less smokeless. But, on the days when we tested it when the wind appeared to be coming from three directions – as it often does here on the edge of Dartmoor – its smokeless powers failed somewhat. Admittedly, the price tag is high, especially considering you can make a fire pit out of a steel shopping basket, dustbin or old washing machine drum! However, the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 burns very efficiently, and uses precious little fuel, while producing barely any ash, and is more or less smokeless, all of which means it punches way above regular fire pits. And, if you do buy into the Solo Stove hype, you should be set for life thanks to its lifetime guarantee.

The Solo Stove collection’s smallest fire pit. The Ranger is ideal for people who live on the go, in limited places, and in cities. Flipping the top ring and lighting your fire is all that is required for setup. I’m done now! Yes, Solo Stoves can be left in the rain, but it’s recommended to cover the stove with a protective cover when not in use to prevent rusting and damage. It may not push out quite the same levels of heat that our regular and much bigger, single skin, fire pit does, but I’ve read that’s the payoff when considering any low smoke firepit. The double-cavity required to achieve those mesmerising rolling flames, and the smoke reduction, inadvertently acts as heat insulation. Choosing an Outdoor Grill, Chiminea, Fire Bowl, Outdoor Fireplace or Fire Pit from one of these brands will give you years of enjoyment! The Bonfire catches loose ash in the bottom and is easy to clean. The Solo Stove Bonfire Kit pushes the limits of combustion airflow efficiency—the minimalist outdoor stove burner design results in a portable, easy-to-clean, low-maintenance fire pit. The perfect outdoor wood burnerEnjoy extra heat, minimal ash and spectacular flames. A perfect outdoor log burner to roast marshmallows on with hardly any smoke! Outdoor heating was never this entertaining. Use the stove as an alternative to a flame patio heater. Rangers Standing Utilize your Ranger portable stove to its fullest potential by putting it to greater use! The stand accessory’s adequate airflow enables you to use your portable fire pit on surfaces that are more heat-sensitive.

First for the science bit. Solo Stove’s smokeless situation works via secondary burn, made possible thanks to its double-skin steel construction with vent holes at the top and bottom. Cool air is pulled through the bottom, heats up within the double cavity, and rises to the top, which invokes secondary combustion as the hot air exits the top vents. To fuel the fire, cool air enters through the bottom vents and travels between the two layers of stainless steel where it is heated. Cool air entering the bottom vents enables the fire to constantly have a plenty of oxygen. In addition, the Solo Stove Bonfire kit also includes a high-quality steel stand so that you can use it on most surfaces. Rounded edges prevent scratching of surfaces. Multiple air vents prevent heat damage through constant cooling airflow. The carry bag is substantial and doubles as a cover once the Bonfire 2.0 has fully cooled. I didn’t find it very easy to get the Bonfire 2.0 into the bag without assistance, but once in, it’s definitely easier to carry. Because of its weight, I wouldn’t want to schlep it very far though! Moreover, the stand fits effortlessly into the grooves on the bottom of the stove, providing a stable footing. Store the Stand in the Solo Stove.The main point to note is that you should not overfill the Bonfire 2.0. If the wood/kindling sits higher than the upper vent holes (inside the rim) you will stuff any hopes of smoke-free burning and it’ll also compromise the airflow burning system, too.

Lighting the Bonfire 2.0 is the same as lighting a woodburner indoors, or any other fire for that matter. Apart from a decade renting in various cities, I’ve always lived in the country, in homes featuring some form of wood fire. This meant I didn’t need Solo Stove’s fire lighting instructions but they’re fairly standard, and I was glad to read I’ve been doing it right all these years.

Solo Stove Ranger Kit

MORE FLAME, LESS SMOKE With bottom vent holes that allow oxygen to feed the fire from below while the double walls warm it, the camping stove’s double wall design maximizes airflow and the burning process. This reduces smoke without the use of batteries or fans like home fireplaces. Dimensions of the Ranger are: 38cm in diameter and 32cm high, on the stand it is 35cm high. It only weighs 6.8kg. AN EFFICIENTER BURN A more thorough burn means that the top vents burn up the tiny particles that would have formed smoke. It also means that an indoor fire pit with no smoke won’t need to deal with any more partially burned logs. The Solo Stove Ranger is the ideal fire pit for those who love to explore. The flame ring is designed to be flipped upside down for compact storage and easy transportation. Its heavy-duty carry case makes it extremely portable to go on any adventure with you. Whether you're camping, hiking, or just spending time outdoors, the Solo Stove Ranger is the perfect companion for all your adventures. The ash pan shields the ground from scorching heat and catches loose ash, while the removable base plate makes cleaning up a breeze. Redefine fire pits with enhanced efficiency Not only do the vent holes located close to the top of the burn chamber facilitate the combustion process for a hotter fire, but they also produce fire with less smoke. The pioneering Signature 360° Airflow feature heats the air to an ultra-high temperature, which burns off smoke before it can become a problem. They won’t even have a chance to get to your clothes or hair. Embrace the cosy ambience of a fire without any of the discomforts that come with smoke! No more games of musical chairs to get away from the smoky smell or stinging eyes. Taking outdoor gatherings to the next level
