Read our full review: Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 Everything burned down to a fine powdery ash. At the end of the fire, almost nothing was left to clean up. Plan on going through about 1.5 to 2 times as much firewood. Like other dual-wall fire pits I have tested, the Bonfire 2.0 burns wood at a faster rate than traditional fire rings or fire pits. For best results, I used 12-inch logs and avoided overloading the burn chamber. The only times that I experienced a smoky fire were when I used poor-quality firewood-wet, green, or partially rotted-or when I added wood above the rim. It took about 10 minutes before it was smokeless. The 360-degree airflow design allowed ample fresh air to flow upward through the burn chamber, creating a chimneylike effect that allowed me to quickly build up the fire. This one started instantly with just one match. I used natural tinder and kindling to start fires in all of the wood-burning fire pits. Solo Stove is one of the more aggressively marketed fire pit brands, and in my tests, the Bonfire 2.0 lived up to the hype. As the super-heated oxygen-rich air escapes through vent holes around the top of the inner wall (just below the rim), it ignites smoke particles exiting the fire. Ventilation holes around the base of the outer wall allow a constant influx of fresh air that rapidly heats as it moves upward through the wall space. The wall of the fire chamber is separated from the outer wall of the fire pit by an inch of air space. The key to this fire pit’s smokelessness is its dual-wall construction. It also came with a stand and a soft-side carry case. This upgraded model features a removable fire grate and ash pan that didn’t exist in the previous version, and it makes cleaning a breeze.

The perfect size for gatherings of three to five people, the stove is made of durable 304 stainless steel to last a lifetime. It’s a smokeless wood-burning fire pit measuring 19.5 inches in diameter, 14 inches high, and weighing 23.3 pounds. The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is a great solution. Many fire enthusiasts believe there is no substitute for a wood fire, but they could do without the smoke.

This guide features the best of the best fire pits that I’ve tested so far. Over the past couple of years, we researched the top 125 smokeless, gas, and tabletop fire pits and tested more than 30. Taking the time and spending just a little more to buy a high-quality fire pit will pay back dividends in terms of durability and the overall fire pit experience, whether you’re looking for a traditional firewood-fueled model or the convenience of a gas fire pit. It’s easy enough to settle for a cheap fire pit, but the experience might leave a lot to be desired.

Depending on the choice of fuel, and where and how it will be used, there may be dozens, if not scores, of great options. Originally just a place to safely contain a campfire, the fire pit has become an extension of exterior decor that also expresses personal style. Whether camping, tailgating, or hosting backyard bonfires, a fire pit is the critical centerpiece.
