My favorite way to wind down a dinner party with friends is to sit around a fire pit, with faces aglow, laughter low, and maybe some marshmallows on sticks for dessert. But the old saucer-shaped steel pit we kept in our small San Francisco backyard produced so much smoke. Despite the regular ocean breeze, we could never really predict which of us would get hit with the next eye-watering gust.
I figured that was just the way things had to be. Until, arriving at a friend’s house one night for drinks, I saw a group of people out back, gathered around a shiny cylindrical object full of flames but emitting not a whiff of smoke. My friend explained that the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0, a double-walled stainless steel fire pit, was designed to create a secondary combustion, essentially burning off most of the smoke before it reached us. I ordered one the next day.
