Solo Stove Yukon 27 Inch Smokeless Fire Pit with Removable Ash Pan - Wood Burning Portable Stainless Steel Outdoor Fireplace, Stainless Steel, Ideal for 6 or More People, 38 lbs

I love an open fire and could have a fire every night if I had the time, but my wife is allergic to trees, so she is affected by the smoke more than others. I thought that I would give the "Smokeless" fire pit a try. I looked at other brands and was put off by some build quality complaints, while this one was praised for build quality. I was really looking forward to spending more time with her around a fire and seeing how it really performs vs all the hype. I can say that I was VERY impressed in so many ways. It's very easy to get a fire going since it breathes so well, and once it gets going, it puts out a lot of beautiful flames, nearly zero smoke, and an insane amount of heat (manageable heat... I'll explain). While the fire seems to be focused and you get ALL the heat from it, you really get the heat in an upward cone shape away from the pit. In other words, if you sit around the fire, you get heat, but not super intense. If you stand up and get near the pit, you step into the area that the heat radiates, and it does radiate a LOT of heat. Even as the fire dies down and you only have a couple logs burning, you feel more heat that a roaring fire in other open pits (minus the smoke of course). The pit itself is beautiful, the operation is fantastic, there's nearly zero smoke, and most of all, you don't smell like a fire pit at the end of the evening (that's a huge plus). I followed up the purchase with a base and a lid, and now they are selling a handle to move it around as well. This is one of the most exciting purchases I've made in quite some time. It's truly a surprise to get something that really lives up to what it promised and so much more. I really did get a lot more heat and used less wood over the course of the evening. I'm confident that you'll love this product ( I am in no way endorsed by Solo Stove, nor did they ask me to write a review of any kind). I hope this helps someone out there make a solid decision.

The Solo Stove Yukon 27-inch is a beast—perfect for big backyard gatherings. Its steel build feels durable, and the smokeless design (thanks to the 360-degree airflow) really works once the fire gets going, though expect some smoke at startup. The heat is intense, great for 6+ people, but it burns through wood fast. The removable ash pan makes cleanup a breeze, and the included stand protects decks. At 38 pounds, it’s not super portable, and the heat mostly rises, so a deflector ($100 extra) helps spread warmth. Pricey at, but for a low-smoke, high-quality fire pit, it’s worth it. Just wish it radiated more sideways heat out of the box.

I love my new stove! It puts off lots of heat with very little smoke. It starts easily and burns hot.

What an awesome fire this thing makes!!!! It's like it has Jet Power and hardly any smoke whatsoever! Best of all.... it is portable! Took it camping w a group of friends.... after that they all went out and bought one!

Easy to put together, not as heavy as expected. All looks great and works great! Don’t overload with wood!!

I absolutely love my Yukon stove!I'm an Eagle Scout and I've been tending fires of all sizes my whole life and this thing is a game changer! It is so efficient at burning it blows my mind how this design took so long to be created. You don't even have to be good at making fire with this thing, it practically does the job for you.And it always burns every last coal all the way down to ash because of the constant air flow produced by its design. So that's added peace of mind.The ash pan and stand are a must to have. The stand makes the air flow even more efficient and allows the bottom of the stove to stay clean. The ground will barely even get warm beneath the stove with the stand so you can save any grassy areas from too much heat over time. It also stows in the stove. The ash pan is easy to remove and catches virtually all of the ash.Very easy to clean compared to most pits and very easy to transport.One thing I will suggest is that you need to also purchase the Yukon heat deflector with this stove if you plan to stand or sit around it like a traditional fire for warmth. The insulating walls are very effective and the heat can't really be felt to the sides of the stove, only above it when close. That being said, the deflector works PERFECTLY. If you just want a contained pit for burning then don't worry about the deflector.Definitely recommend if you're looking for a consistent pit that's worth the added value.

Works great. Would have liked better instructions on how to light it for the first time. Many videos online, but it would be nice to have a QR code that shows a simple video for setup and lighting.

Great fire pit for patio or backyard
