TIP: These bricks are compressed saw dust and most effective when added to an established, raging fire. They will burn for a long time. They are not effective for FIRE STARTING. Remember to start small (w/ tinder and kindling), not with full logs, which is what was happening in this video.

This is some great advice from someone who sounds like they’ve done this a time or two!!

Y’all are having some fun! Love it!

You were the first that I have seen over the years to mention one of the biggest issues I have with solo stoves. I am a camper I also have a terracotta chimney on my deck I also own a BioLite fire pit and as of yesterday I bought a three pack of Mesa solo stoves for $75 on clearance. The Mesa is perfect for my rock garden for when I just want an hour Don't want to have to do a full burn and then wait for burnout. The Mesa is perfect for a summertime chill for an hour before bed. He is the problem that I've seen over the years with solo stoves and why I would never buy a full size. You mentioned it, you don't get to see the fire burn. When I burn a fire camping or in my chimneya and even in my BioLite 99% of the enjoyment is watching the wood burn washing it break down looking for those hot spots and poking it with a stick.. I feel like solo stoves are great for people who really just don't want to mess with fires and/or feel that they enjoyment of a fire is just watching the flames lick out the top. For me and my friends it's exactly as you described it. Sometimes it's just about sitting there listening to the crackle poking it with a stick watching the wood break down and throwing another log on the fire. You don't get that with solo stoves. You get convenience but you don't get that mesmerizing no conversation needed Just fixate on a hotspot or a piece as it breaks down in the flame. You get a convenient self-contained couple of flames licking out the top. I truly love the little Mesa I got for my rock garden but would never get a full size. For portable fire pit I still say the biolite firepit beats it out for someone who's looking for what I want.

This also nothing better than radiant heat from the actual fire when it's 30° F out. If it's 30° out and you've got to move back because your Crocs are melting and the fires hot enough to actually produce less smoke then it's good to go.

thanks for the review, will give this a try.

I saw those bricks the other day in Tractor Supply and had no idea. I have a Yukon for the deck and a Ranger for car camping. I will definitely give these a try! I picture them being perfect for car camping and would fit nicely in the Ranger do to it’s smaller size.

@@raggar101 I did not get the exact brand mentioned as it was different at my local TS store. But, yes, I did try them and they worked very well considering. I got around 45 minutes to an hour from four 'bricks'. And even then, with a reduced flame, they were still pumping out a good amount of heat. I paid around $5 for twenty bricks in a package. Or around a dollar per hour of burn-time. I will be purchasing more!

Wow, stumbled across this looking at composite logs for my new Solo Stove Yukon. Surprised that you are local to me! I tend to go to the Ootlewah Tractor Supply since the Fort O one is to far. Going to sub to support a neighbor.

Thanks for posting this. Going to try to find some today. 😁

I think you will like them!

It's plain to me from watching the video that, like most of us men, someone married above himself.

Actually, the Solo stoves work on a secondary burn principal. This reduces the smoke and increases the heat output.

Don't stack above the rim. Even if it's going good, the smoke from the wood that sticks up won't be sucked down. Everything below the rim pretty much all the smoke will be sucked down through the bottom of this downdraft woodgas stove.

I might have to go grab one and cut it into smaller pieces for our SoloStove Mesa

@@MULTIPLESHOTSFIRED i liked it prior to finding out about these bricks and making a heat deflector for it. With pellets, I was having to put more in every 5-10 minutes. It was really frustrating and not a nice relaxing fire. I got some hardwood bricks from Tractor Supply and cut one into 5 pieces that were small enough to fit in the Mesa. In total, 1 brick lasted two hours and 35 minutes! I made a heat deflector using a tomato cage that i cut down to just have the top two rings. I set the bottom ring on the table and a pie pan from the dollar store on the top ring and it made a huge difference in pushing the heat out instead of going straight up. Now I love it!

Love my Solo firepit; but, hate how much wood it takes just for a few hours of enjoyment. I will check out the local Tractor Supply for these. Not sure what process is used to make these bricks? I will probably stick with my hardwood oak if I need to cook anything over my Solo and add the brick when done.

According to the manufacturer these are "additive free, kiln-dried, compressed hardwood", since I made this video I have used them dozens of times- cooked with them and no issues. Nice alternative to expensive wood, just miss the crackling sounds.

Smoking because you stacked it to high

The fuel was stacked too high to initiate secondary ignition of unburnt hydrocarbons.

I've been using them for a few months now, works great when you start with wood, then when it's up to full temp start to introduce these until it's completely running on the Redstones. No soot, smoke is not present as long as you keep fuel load below secondary combustion air ports. You should give it a try- saves a ton of wood and $.
