Solo supposedly builds the best, but they are expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative that someone has that performs well

I've used a few of these and honestly I am fine with a $20 galvanized steel bucket from home depot with a couple grates thrown in on top of some old bricks. Bonus points for drilling 10+ 1" holes on the lower sides to get oxygen in. Saves about $200.

I just bought a Solo Yukon 2.0 27” @ Stine, had $50 price reduction and 10% veteran discount saved a total of $95. Came with the ring stand & a cover to help protect when not in use. Used it once, lately really mild Louisiana weather, and it performed admirably…

Happy with my east oak 21” bought off Amazon for $117. Looks like they’re $150 now.

I was able to get a smokeless firepit on sale from Sam's Club a few years ago. This one is bigger than the one's they have now. It works great on my deck with a mat under it. I don't have to get my feet wet anymore from the dew to enjoy it.

Just get the solo. It’s unbeatable and has lifetime warranty. My bottom grate was rusting out and they sent me an entirely new unit.

They all work if u keep the logs below rim. And logs need to probably be smaller than you’re used to.

I use an old washing machine tub at the camp. Has small holes all the way around it.

HGD smokeless from Amazon. Makes a year old on the 30th. Uncovered completely in the elements 24/7....zero real rust. Light surface rust on removable log/ash tray. Even the cooking grate is in good shape aside from some warpage. It could be a tad stronger. Worth every penny.

I like my solo stove because it was one of the newer models with an ash tray. I would find it much more annoying to use without that tray.

I had a older Solo Sotve without the tray, and it was/is in fact a pain in the arse to carry the whole thing to dump.

I bought a stainless fire pit off temu for $80 last year and it's held up just fine even cooked on it a couple of times with an old travel grill that I have. Save yourself $300 is what I recommend.

EastOak is the amazon brand
Works equal to solo and has the same accessories.
For 1/2 the price
