Looking forward to some s’mores with my 9 and 7 year old boys Saturday night!We just got the Solo Stove Yukon a couple of weeks ago. Very nice back yard fire pit. Grandkids love cooking hotdogs and s’mores on it. Toss some wood in and fire it up. Burns very efficiently.
Myth. A hit fire is all you need. lol at my photos. Wood above the rim. If you’re on one of the Facebook groups there’s a lot of bad info people who’ve never built a fire then clamber on the ideas. Photo number one in my above post was started with 3 pieces of crumpled paper and a couple quarters of seasoned wood I used a hatchet to cut into kindling. One quarter piece of wood on too. One Match. Fire was going like that in less than 20 minutes. Keep in mind these are not smoke free, just smokeless. You will be able to enjoy the fire without smoke chasing you around and your clothes won’t be rank with smoke at the end of the evening.I’m looking to get to the “smokeless” semi smokeless? secondary burn quickly, I’ve read to stay below the top holes.
There is a stand that you can get with the Solostoves that puts it about 2”-3” off the surface. Solostove says that’s adequate. The bottom doesn’t get super hot, but even on the stand we have killed the grass during a hit burn.I gotta find me one of those. But I saw one photo of using it on a wood deck with no heat shield of any kind. Recipe for disaster?
