You left the insert out of the cheaper model. Curious how that affects the test

Might want to look at getting the Fuel Pellets from rural king and save some of the funding you use for the Camp Chef pellets. 5.50 for 40lbs is a bargain for the fuel pellets.

I would never admit to buying wood on Amazon 😂

Will the XL cooktop fit on the Walmart stove if you take off the top that comes with it?

Great video. I have an East Oak and can't wait to use it.

I follow you instructions and your plans and my fire pit work great, thank you

You should secure the cheaper one to make it more sturdy then compare again!

That’s awesome dude. Could you maybe give a supply list? I’m not gunna step on your toes and make videos I’m just on a budget and don’t want to buy another fire pit like the one you tossed and have it rust out and break again.

Your awesome bro... Trust me we have all been there.. loved the video.

The YEFU doubles as a cooking platform for pots and pans... Take that into consideration too.

The first layer of bricks have spaces in between the stones, how do you close those spaces on the 2nd/3rd layers?

what size holes did you drill. looks like 1"? thinking about doing something similar

How is the heat output between pellets and wood chunks?

How’s the paint holding up on the solos stove though?

Awesome videos! P.S. Has anyone ever told you that you look like Luke Bryan? Lol 🧐

You are so funny! I like this one!

The increase in heat for the cheap one is due to starting with a 2 degree higher temperature. So subtract 2 degrees and you get 89 and 90

Thought it was a bongo vid at the beginning...lol

You are the man. Big Fan of your videos. Subscribed 😂😂🫡💪💪💪💪

start with the mini duraflame logs! Those burn great in these.

About how far out can you feel the heat or does it radiate at all? I know it's more for ambiance, not trying to go survival mode (I always shake my head at people who have videos about how they "almost died" in ---60° weather but how 'this one thing' saved them🙄...why not just go back in the house ?🤣 Thanks for the review.

Hi. Can you please tell us hone many cups of the wood pellets it’s full each one. Home nay did you use for east oak and how many cups to fill the solo mesa

You really have done all. I was just wondering about this east oak vs solo mesa. And it was here already. My respect to the time and effort on this videos. 🫡 Now ….. can you do solo mesa vs solo mesa XL 🔥🔥

Thank you for this. I saw this handle and thought it to be so classy. Your review is awesome

Thanks for the comparison. Very helpful. Loved the table solo. Since there is not too many

Thank you for doing this video. Very informative and honest. ❤

What did you use for your insert?

Did your deck get burnt??

What about lump coal ?

10/10 review. This really helped me chose the obvious winner, East Oak

Thanks for the video. Tractor supply has a 40 lb bag of pine pellets for $7. This has been pretty consistent over the past 5 years. We use pellets for our privy when we're camping

So they basically went in order regarding flame control and burn time, based on their volume and cylinder height. 😅

Cool video, gta ask where did you get that hats it’s sweet

Is there a color change in the body when the burning ends?

Drill a drain hole in the table hole, place a flower pot with a plant and show it as decorative.

The better tools would've probably done better if it wasn't overloaded to start with. It's too small for that much wood and struggled to get enough oxygen to burn hot. It may be a good stove if you keep the load smaller. Great video though. Thanks.

Hi ! What temperature in the oven? For how long?

the purpose of a ROCKET STOVE is the CONSERVATION OF FUEL!

I’m in Canada and ordered the solo stove from the US. It’s solid and I’m just going to say, that the heat reflection can be a bit different between pellets and mini hardwood. I don’t regret a minute of having purchased this because it’s superior engineering and that crappity knock off would never find its way on my table. Do ir right, or don’t do it at all. ❤

Looks great bro! just a quick question do you not need it to have a bigger gap between the metal and the stone, and does the metal not need to be on the ground to force the drawn air up through the holes?

Shouldn't there also be a few holes drilled about 2" from the bottom? That's how a premade smoless pit is designed

Black bodies will radiate more heat than lighter or reflective objects. If they all had the same finish it would be a better comparison. However, I'm not surprised the black finish radiates more heat. The comment on the IR being affected by the surface is on point as well...thermocouples would be better, as IR cameras/meters are affected by emissivity. I suspect the two SS finish pits are actually hotter than what you're measuring. You at one point got 110°F for the surface temperature of the solo stove, which means you should be able to comfortably rest your hand on that surface for an indefinite period of time; I would not suggest doing that. I suspect if you put a hot dog on that surface, you'd hear it sizzle. So, the two SS finishes are probably hotter than you measured, and the black object is probably reading more accurately (depending on what your IR gun's emissivity setting is at). Thanks for this video! I've been looking at smokeless pits for a while now and East Oak wasn't even on the radar until today. Glad to see we have options! Do you have any additional thoughts now that you've had them for longer?

I liked this video but I have a question... you gave the burn times but how much pellet did each take for that time. I did subscribe by the way

Would the Solo deflector work on a East Oak table top?

Gud video thx

had no idea drier lint worked to start a fire. I think I'll do that depending on what I buy.

Awesome video, sir! I've built several fire pits in my day but this will be the first smokeless one. Which size ring do you have here?

Does it fit also to the campfire-model?

Alright I appreciate the in depth experiment with these three table tops. I was ready to pull the trigger on a cheaper one for 39$ but that East Oak sold me. Just put one in the Amazon cart. I like bigger size, that center piece, and the longer burn time. Just earned a new sub man.

Looking at the numbers...In my opinion the increase in heat with the deflectors is not enough to spend the money on either.
