Solo Stove has earned an REI Co-op Editors’ Choice Award. The honor recognizes top-performing gear carried by the retailer: the “best of the best at REI” as the judging panel notes. Bonfire impressed testers with its design, user-friendly experience, and efficient heat output.
Bonfire, which launched on Kickstarter in 2016, was designed to be “the world’s favorite smokeless fire pit.” Solo Stove’s 360-degree Signature Airflow Technology allows users to get the most efficient burn possible and create the smokeless experience for which Solo Stove fire pits are known.
Bonfire’s wood-burning flames get 400-degrees hotter than conventional fires, eliminating smoke and creating fine ashes. This ultra-efficient burn brings kindling to brilliant flames in minutes, so starting a fire is fast and easy. The Bonfire Fire Pit is available on solostove.com for $399.99. Accessories, such as the stand, ember shield, and heat deflector, are available as part of Fire Pit Bundles or on their own.
According to the REI editorial team, “Bonfire is the standout choice for decks and patios.” The testers noted that “the gleaming cylinder was especially easy to light – the initial flames grew quickly, without any need to blow on them — and it was the coziest of all the options.”
Beyond good looks, REI testers deemed it a fantastic heater with its unique double-wall construction.
The REI Editors’ Choice Awards are determined by months of field testing, REI expertise, co-op member and customer feedback, and sustainability attributes.
