    I was on the fence last year too but went with the Breeo made in Lancaster PA. We left it out all winter and used it occasionally in the winter. The fire burns hot. Once it's going, you never have to move the logs. It burns completely down that you wonder what happened to all the ashes. Rock solid. I fee the Solo is more apt to be rusted out or dented. The Breeo has some cool accessories too.

    Great video. My family and I have been considering purchasing a smokeless for some time because although I personally enjoy sitting next to a fire, the smoke that is generated causes breathing problems for me due to a lung infection from years ago that causes breathing problems due to the smoke. Your video has made us consider purchasing the Solo so that it can be placed on our wooden deck. Thanks.

    Built my own 21 years ago from leftover iron arch supports used for brick homes.... they're 1/2 inch thick angle iron bent 180 degrees on a three foot diameter, and welding two together makes a perfect circle. Making a top and bottom set and using 18" cut length pieces of angle iron welded between them around the outer sides provides the perfect "barrel" flat top pit......hasn't rusted at all and provides plenty of heat in the winter on our ranch.

    I purchased my Solo Bonfire model from Ace hardware they are a little more $$ , bit I bought in Oct 2021 ,I thought it would be a lot longer to get it from webste ,so bought frm local Ace hardware ,this review is accurate though and I love my Solo Bonfire ,it lights super easy and fast, I use just a chunk of a fire starter stick with small dry kindling, and then a little larger kindling and before long putting on split logs and it has a very efficient burn and burns the complete log not just one end or part of the log, the double combustion is really something, the flames are mesmerizing to watch. I have my Solo on back concrete patio with the base ring, and there is no trace of the fire the next day , if you love a bonfire I strongly suggest the Solo stove ,especially if you want to take with you camping ,beach or any where the bonfire comes with a really heavy duty carrying bag and doubles as a cover..

    I bought our 30" Solo Stove Yukon 2-3 years ago via Kickstarter. Love it. We call it the "log hog" as it eats through wood but is an incredibly enjoyable flame and will take down any type of wood I throw at it. I hadn't even heard of Breeo until today when I received a pamphlet from them in the mail (our google or amazon smart devices surely listening to me talk about our fire pit :-) ) and came here to learn about the Breeo - crossing my fingers that our Solo Stove is still considered superior haha. Thank you for the in-depth review. It was great to see that at the 10 minute mark the solo stove still came out ahead. My biggest gripe with Solo Stove now is that they've basically stopped supporting the 30" Yukon with new products since they now sell the smaller Yukon.

    I have owed a Yukon for 2 years I think and love it. Great video and I can say dead on with everything he said about Yukon including the radiant heat part on standing and sitting. I burned so much wood last year and thought I needed to dump the ash in it. Well, I realized the inside dome grill doesn’t come out and so you have to just turn it over and hope it falls through. However, there was almost no ash! I guess it burned most of it up??? Crazy. One trick for cool flame is to start a good fire, and then spread them out evenly against the inside wall so there is fire all the way around. This really heats up the inner walls so ALL the secondary holes at the top fully ignite and that is when you can watch the flames dance almost in slow motion. Quite mesmerizing actually. Just know it eats wood quickly but that’s why the fire is so nice I figure. Don’t bother with screen top. Kills the viewing of the flames and the whole thing so I never use it.

    Great review. Well done. I have the 24inch model of the Breeo you reviewed and was surprised you had any issue with the fire being maintained. One of the reasons we chose it was that the lower vent solution (X) was less likely to be obstructed by ash than the solo stove and therefore keep fresh dense air cycling through for good combustion. In practice, our only issue with the concept is that it is so hot inside and efficient, that we go through wood very quickly. With the inside staying above 1000F, wood ignites immediately. One thing to note is that since it is double-walled, the outside temp is very low. It has been so efficient, we have not needed to empty it of ash after nearly a cord of wood.

I’ve had many long fires even in my front yard on grass and after many hours it does not scorch the grass at all. It’s also lightweight and easy to load in my camper. If I was making a purchase for a permanent setup at my home I might consider the Breeo but I’m so happy with my Solo Stove that would be a hard decision to make.

    I've had a Corten X 24 for a little over six months. I generally like it - especially the grill and its ease of use. It came with a few deep scratches in a couple of the stainless steel feet. (Not from shipping.) The patina'd corten steel looked great for a few months but recently started flaking large (> 2") pieces along the bottom. Breeo just said it's because i patina'd the steel. (I followed THEIR directional video. :/) The welds are intermittent (not continuous), which results in air flowing where it shouldn't and causes many unburnt coals (1-2" pieces). It also causes less of the "smokeless" effect. It's also hard to clean out because of the weight and sear plate overhang into the pit. The sear plate works well, but is very tough to clean and has very sharp edges. For those considering buying one, I recommend getting the cover to keep the rain out, and prevent the dog from licking remnants of grilling.

    After seeing different video's on these and putting out heat my thoughts are use paving bricks and go around about 3 heights to four and remove bricks about the middle level and the heat should go through those openings. By doing this one should be able to use on concrete as long as the heats not to high. Great post

    You are dead on with not feeling the heat sitting around it. I have the bonfire and love the smokeless fires (once up to temp where secondary burn is working). Have thought about fashioning a heat shield similar to what you’d see on a pellet grill to divert heat around the stove. The breeo grill top would work perfect with a solid sheet vs grate.

    Thanks. Great review. I saw them advertised on facebook and was considering buying one but I do think the idea of a firepit is to radiate heat and keep you warm on cool nights so I think I'll stick with the old-fashioned style. I wonder if it would be a good idea to have some sort of upside down conical reflector addition that sits above the firepit to radiate the heat out horizontally. But thanks again for the review. It helped me decide.

    The same thing that makes the Solo Stove work so much better is the reason I ended up going from my bonfire to an X24. All of those holes on the base allow a lot of air flow but the tradeoff is there is so much crap that gets stuck down there that over time it's almost impossible to clean out. That, and the build quality between the Breeo and the Solo Stove isn't comparable so for a longer term investment that Breeo made sense for me. My bonfire is really showing wear, and that's only after about two years. Thanks for the review and you really can't go wrong with either!

    I have the Breeo X-Series, which has a redesigned X on the bottom to offer better air for the fire. I've had six burns thus far and have zero complaints. Yes, it is virtually smoke free once you get everything up to temperature. We had seven people sitting around the fire the other night and none of us had to move due to smoke. I even got blasted with very warm air when the wind picked up all of a sudden, but no smoke in the face. It's also quite warm around it as well. They offer a ton of options for different series that fit your needs. Super happy with my purchase! Plus, they're made in Lancaster, PA.

    Great review! I think there may be a couple other considerations when you compare the two. I don't believe you mentioned the ease of cleaning out the ashes, nor some of the other options, e.g., lids. I have the Breeo Double Flame 24" and absolutely love it. I have not experienced the issues you sighted with keeping it burning hot. This thing burns tremendously. I also opted for the Stainless Steel lid, which is rock solid. Very heavy and made of the same grade stainless steel. I did a lot of research between Solo and Breeo and the Breeo just had quality written all over it. I do leave my pit outside all year and therefore opted for the stainless steel lid, and also use a canvas cover. The two points you mentioned that really resonate with me is 1) these firepits do not throw off a lot of horizontal heat. If you stand right next to it you'll definitely feel it, but if you expect to sit out during the New England Winter you won't get enough heat, and 2) the bottom does throw off a lot of heat. I have mine on paver blocks so it sits above the paver patio. Lastly, be careful, the sides get extremely hot (~160-230 degrees). If you have small children or pets, please be careful !!!

    Fantastic review! The only one that I have seen an undershot of the Breeo while burning. I ordered a Solo Yukon, during Black Friday sale, so I will start with that one first. The airflow in the Solo appears superior to the Breeo due to the quantity and distribution of vent holes. That being said, the sear plate on the Breeo X-Series is really nice. One thing to note is that Solo Stoves are designed to be portable, as they began their business for camping/hiking. That may explain why they are lighter in weight and steel thickness than the Breeo. Feeling I'll end up with both at some point as they both have great features. Super excited to have less smoke than my ancient Hampton Bay (Home Depot) firepit.
