Friends\u2019 company with autumn leaves falling on the ground, kids playing in the grass and someone grilling food for the crowd can create lasting core memories. Of course, securing the best backyard setup for gatherings isn\u2019t always easy. There are a ton of choices when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/list\/deck-furniture-ideas\/\">deck furniture<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/list\/best-outdoor-grill\/\">outdoor grills<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/list\/best-fire-pit\/\">fire pits<\/a> and more.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, I\u2019ve locked down my all-time favorite outdoor fire pit brand: <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fc%2Fthe-complete-fire-pit-collection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solo Stove<\/a>. I\u2019ve tested products from various outdoor brands, and I've written countless Solo Stove reviews. So far, my favorite smokeless fire pit comes from Solo Stove. I\u2019ve spent countless hours testing products from the brand: Fire pits, chairs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/solo-stove-patio-heater-review\/\">pellet patio heaters<\/a>, you name it. If Solo Stove makes it, I\u2019ve (likely) tested it. Here\u2019s what you need to know before placing an order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What is Solo Stove?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solo Stove is a leading outdoor fire pit brand founded in 2011 by two brothers and a small camp stove. Their mission? To gather family and friends to create good memories. They get it.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, the brand has grown to include a variety of smokeless fire pits and pizza ovens, patio furniture, outdoor heaters and outdoor accessories. In addition to the official Solo Stove website, you can find select Solo Stove products on <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fstores%2FSoloStove%2Fpage%2F9911212A-F8C8-47A5-A1E9-8AB272AF3EB5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How We Test Solo Stove Products<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have tested over a dozen Solo Stove products in nearly every category, including evergreen, limited-edition and seasonal items. I evaluate each product based on the delivery experience, packaging, assembly, quality, and ease of use. Outfitting your patio or backyard setup with Solo Stove gear can be expensive, so I examine, test and review each product as thoroughly as I can with your hard-earned dollar in mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Fire Pits <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire pits are the bread and butter of Solo Stove and the reason the brand was created. Solo Stove fire pits are a great way to add ambiance and (literal) warmth to your outdoor space, and they\u2019re great for roasting smores and hotdogs, as well as grilling other food items.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to smokeless fire pits, Solo Stove as a brand is a leading force, creating products that meet\u2014and in many cases exceed\u2014industry standards. Each fire pit is made with sturdy, weatherproof 304 stainless steel and designed to funnel smoke upward away instead of outward. Solo Stove\u2019s 360-degree Signature Airflow design heats air to burn off smoke, so you don\u2019t have to shift around the fire pit to avoid teary eyes and a face full of smoke.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of our favorite fire pit picks is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/solo-stove-bonfire-2-review\/\">Bonfire 2.0<\/a>, made for \u201cthe backyard and beyond.\u201d In other words, it\u2019s designed for a permanent or portable fire pit experience. The <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Fsolo-stove-bonfire%3Fsku%3DSSBON-2.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solo Stove Bonfire<\/a> even comes with its own carrying bag, so you can store it safely, load it up, and carry it wherever\u2014camping, tailgating, fall party, you name it. Cleanup is easy, too; the base plate and ash pan are removable, which makes cleaning quick and easy. No special cleaning tools are needed; just lift the base plate to remove the ash pan and dump it.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also love the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Fmesa%3Fsku%3DSSMESA-FG-SS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mesa<\/a> fire pit if you\u2019re looking for a smaller, more compact backyard fire experience. It has the same signature stainless steel design as other Solo Stove fire pits (e.g., the Bonfire 2.0), but it\u2019s miniature and small enough to put on an outdoor table. Getting a fire going only takes a few minutes with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/solo-stove-mesa-review\/\">Mesa<\/a>. Simply place fuel (wood or pellets) into the base of the Mesa, light your fire starter, and you\u2019re ready to go!<\/p>\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT product_name=\"Bonfire 2.0\" image=\"639274\" image_credit=\"MARY HENN\/FAMILY HANDYMAN\" pr_name=\"Solo Stove\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Fsolo-stove-bonfire%3Fsku%3DSSBON-2.0\" pr_display_text=\"Shop at Solo Stove\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Solo-Stove-Bonfire-2-0-Stand\/dp\/B0B7BFJ5Y6\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT product_name=\"Mesa\" image=\"639281\" image_credit=\"MARY HENN\/FAMILY HANDYMAN\" pr_name=\"Solo Stove\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Fmesa%3Fsku%3DSSMESA-FG-SS\" pr_display_text=\"Shop at Solo Stove\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Solo-Stove-Mesa-Tabletop-Stainless\/dp\/B0BDFFBMMF\/\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pizza Ovens<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did someone say artisan pizza? The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/solo-stove-pi-prime\/\">Pi Prime<\/a> is Solo Stove\u2019s first gas-only pizza oven, which comes at a price lower than other gas-powered pizza ovens on the market. The Pi Prime pizza oven is quick and easy to fire up\u2014simply hook it up to an external propane tank and turn the control knob on the front to ignite a flame. After the oven preheats, you\u2019re ready to launch your Neapolitan pizza creation.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most standard\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/list\/best-outdoor-pizza-ovens\/\">outdoor pizza ovens<\/a>, the Pi Prime has a 90-second cooking experience, so pizzas cook ultra-fast at super-high temperatures. Once you\u2019ve nailed launching and turning the pizza without overcooking it, you\u2019ll be whipping up homemade pies for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to try your hand at wood-fired pizza, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/solo-stove-pizza-oven-review\/\">Solo Stove Pi Fire<\/a> provides the ideal gateway to backyard baking.

It\u2019s a durable, stainless-steel torch made with the famous Solo Stove design, similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/solo-stove-mesa-review\/\">Mesa's<\/a>. The weather-resistant steel is painted a semi-matte black to blend seamlessly into any backyard scene. You can choose between two configurations: tall and short. So, your Mesa Torch can light your fence line or be at eye level when you\u2019re sitting around the fire pit.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mesa Torch has a giant wick, integrated fuel canister and a bezel that fits the snuff cap perfectly for easy extinguishing. Plus, the torch will keep an oversized flame for up to five hours on a single fill. I like to fill mine with a bug-repelling torch fluid to keep mosquitos at bay during the summer.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for something to provide a little more warmth than light, the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=131817X1598242&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Ftower-patio-heater%3Fir_partnerid%3D10078%26ir_adid%3D992090%26ir_campaignid%3D13024%26irgwc%3D1%26utm_source%3DImpact%26utm_medium%3Daffiliate%26utm_campaign%3DPO_affiliate%26utm_content%3DSkimbit%2BLtd.%26utm_term%3Dfamilyhandyman.com%26irclickid%3D058wzBxoJxyKW9HS653CTRLvUkCyr7UAvUcqzg0\">Solo Stove Tower Patio Heater<\/a>\u00a0is a pellet-fueled heater that keeps you warm in colder weather.\u00a0Like the Solo Stove\u00a0Bonfire 2.0\u00a0fire pit, it is\u00a0smokeless. It has about a 10-foot heating radius, so it\u2019s perfect for small to mid-sized patios during chilly (but not freezing) temperatures.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tower Patio Heater\u2019s hopper box holds about 25 pounds of pellets, and a full hopper box should produce about three hours of warmth. It\u2019s perfect if you want a patio heater that doesn\u2019t use propane. Pellets are generally easier to store and lighter in weight than firewood. They\u2019re also typically less expensive than propane and don\u2019t pose the same combustion risks as propane tanks.<\/p>\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT product_name=\"Mesa Torch\" image=\"615474\" image_credit=\"MARY HENN\/FAMILY HANDYMAN\" pr_name=\"Solo Stove\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Fmesa-torch\" pr_display_text=\"Shop at Solo Stove\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Solo-Stove-Backyard-Cold-Rolled-Adjustable\/dp\/B0CPFWD1PY\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT product_name=\"Tower Patio Heater\" image=\"639277\" image_credit=\"MARY HENN\/FAMILY HANDYMAN\" pr_name=\"Solo Stove\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598242&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.solostove.com%2Fen-us%2Fp%2Ftower-patio-heater\" pr_display_text=\"Shop at Solo Stove\" \/]\r\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Furniture\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your fire pit area is ready to go, you\u2019ll need seating to kick back and enjoy the crackling flames.

If the fire pit is not properly elevated and insulated or if it\u2019s misused, the deck can be charred or caught on fire.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should never leave your Solo Stove fire pit (or any fire pit) unattended on a combustible surface, even while cooling down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Do Solo Stoves get hot on the outside?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes!
