But I am a big fan of the simple design and grab-and-go convenience. Sure your hands get a little dirty (you could wear gloves after all). They feel clunky, slide around when you transport the pit, or take away from the clean visual lines. I’ve seen other fire pits with drawer-like configurations that pull out from the side of the unit. Then I was pleasantly surprised with the new removable ash pan. It is just as portable, similarly priced, and works with all of the original Bonfire accessories. The first thing I really like about the Bonfire 2.0 is that it retains the same look, feel, and smokeless burning capability as the original. I was completely sold on the original Bonfire, so my biggest concern was that any upgrades might take away from the functionality of the design or somehow make older Bonfire accessories obsolete. What I like about the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit 2.0 Emptying the 2.0 on the other hand is as simple as removing the fire base, then lifting out and dumping the ash pan. It was difficult to clean up without scattering ash, and there was always some left inside. Emptying leftover ash from the original meant turning it over and shaking it until all of the ash came out. The major point of separation between the 2.0 and the original is the new removable fire base and ash pan that make clean up immensely easier without disrupting the all-important airflow design. Like its predecessor, the new design efficiently burns nearly all of the firewood down to fine ash. The design creates a stunning visual effect as bright flames flow from the vent holes, doubling the fire’s overall brightness and movement. As the super heated, oxygen rich air exits the vent holes, it ignites any smoke particles on contact. As the fire burns, air between the walls heats and expands upward, drawing fresh air in at the base. Air intake holes surround the bottom of the outer wall, and air vent holes ring the top of the inner wall. Like the original, the Bonfire 2.0’s dual wall design is the key to delivering a nearly 100 percent smokeless fireside experience. The burn chamber is large enough to handle firewood logs up to 16 inches long. It requires only 6 feet of distance from walls, fences or other vertical surfaces, and at least 15 feet of overhead clearance. Using the included stainless steel stand (which was sold separately on the previous model) you can set up the Bonfire 2.0 outdoors on most level surfaces, including heat-sensitive surfaces like wood decking or grass. The kit comes with the fire pit body, stand, ash pan, fire base, flame ring, and a heavy duty carry bag-all for $299.99. It measures 19.5 inches in diameter and 14 inches high and weighs about 22 pounds. Similar to the original Bonfire, this double-wall fire pit is constructed of durable stainless steel. The Solo Stove Fire Pit 2.0 is a smokeless wood-burning fire pit that is ideally sized for groups of three to five people. What is the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit 2.0? When I was presented the opportunity to test the newly released Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit 2.0, I jumped on it. Unknown to us at the time, the Bonfire was in the midst of a redesign at the time that would make the award-winning fire pit even better. In fact, we named the brand’s flagship model-the Solo Stove Bonfire-the best overall smokeless fire pit earlier this year. I’ve had the privilege to review them in the past, with excellent results. Since 2016, Solo Stove has led the industry in manufacturing durable, portable smokeless fire pits.
