    I’ve had the smallest Solostove (smaller than the one you demonstrated here) for several years, using it just for backpacking trips. It’s been a good stove, but I have to say there’s a learning curve involved. I would have no reservations about buying a Walmart/Ozark Trail version if they made a smaller one, because your vid proves they perform! Thanks for taking the time to do this test!

    I made a gasifier out of two stainless steel stock pots a number of years ago... Before solo made theirs. For a small fire pit, it was nice. A couple of things I discovered is these fire pits are not good for keeping warm. The metal shields most of the radiant heat so feet and legs can get chilly on cold evenings. Also, the wood needs to be below the top rim for them to gasifier properly. When everything is working, very little to no smoke, burn relatively hot, and will typically burn through fuel faster because the air flow is so much better. But totally agree, the flame pattern is awesome and relaxing to watch.

    • @AdventureswithSpackmann
      @AdventureswithSpackmann  Год назад +3

      I’ve made a few gasifiers too. Never out of something as big as stock pots but smaller ones. I can see what you mean by the bottom not getting hot and radiating heat.
      Yup, burn pattern is so cool! Thanks for watching

    • @justinw1765
      @justinw1765 Год назад +6

      If you (scuff up and) spray paint the outside of the inner SS stock pot and the inside and outside of the outer SS stock pot with high heat paint (the color doesn't actually matter much--that is misconception i.e. you don't *need* black), the IR will pass through much better. Shiny metal surfaces are good at reflecting IR. (Technically, you only really need to scuff up/paint the surfaces facing the heat source).
      The double wall on the other hand, does slightly increase the thermal insulation via reducing conduction and convection (the air layer in between is an insulator), so these won't ever give off as much heat as a single layer burner. But this is not as much as one might think, because once temps reach near 300 C/572 F, regular thermal conduction of air greatly increases and most of the heat tranfer or blocking will be via IR. * The paint will improve the heating of the metal significantly.
      Personally, the fuller and cleaner burn of these is worth the trade off of slightly less less radiant heat (once scuffed and paint treated).
      * To drive home this interesting principle, some researchers took wood and coated it with a special, highly efficient IR reflecting and very high heat coating (contains mostly zirconium oxide), and turned it into a working forge. You could touch the outside of the wood while it was running full blast and it would only feel slightly warm. I don't know if the rest of the wood was treated with fire retardants or not though (such as soaking it in a borax and boric acid solution, or the like).

      This makes a heat diffuser that eliminates the issue of using them for heat and not getting enough heat. Solo sells em, but for nearly the same price the fire pit base costs😅.

    I have a solo style stove that is slightly smaller so it is perfect for boiling water quick. I use it camping cuz I just use the twigs I can gather around camp and set it on the fire grate so I don’t burn a whole bundle of wood to make my breakfast. I’ve used it to fry up bacon and boil an egg as well as just make hot water. I’ve used it to make rice as well as pasta. Mac and cheese. It’s not great for grilling. So I have a firebox stove for grilling. Usually fire up both at camp so can cook two things at once.

      With the amount of SS involved, it would be hard to DIY it for significantly cheaper than what they cost. Sure, one can use things like soup cans (for the smaller one) and metal trash cans (for the larger), but the non stainless steel of these, rusts out pretty quick when exposed to these high temps. You can line them with refractory cement to prolong the life of these cheap steels, and get a better burn due to increased insulation. And really only the inner metal needs to be protected. The outer metal doesn't get exposed to high enough temps to super oxidize it. A cheaper and lighter option is to spray the inner metal with very high heat paint once in a while--this prolongs its life some as well.

      @@AdventureswithSpackmann so the issue with this firepit is the hole in the bottom at too big for pellets, causing them to fall through and clog. I put a mesh metal screen on the flat bottom and took another flat mess peice, curled it like an empty toilet paper tube, and placed it upright in the middle (forms a donut)...this always for max air flow and true gasification

    The thing about a lot of Walmart brand stuff is that it WILL work especially if metal and follows a simple concept, the biggest concern is longevity and what might happen if you do something it was not designed for. They are typically made out of either thinner or lower quality metals, so it boils down really to your luck the day its parts were produced and how you use the item, so again there is the longevity issue. Main things I don't trust as much from them is anything spouting it's some kind of survival item, like those knives that have been around forever. And the tents unless I only plan on using them a few times in very ideal conditions or once or twice in mixed conditions for short term use.

    I picked up a genuine stainless Solo Stove Mesa (smaller version) never opened for less than $30 on eBay. That's an exceptionally good price, but you can also find good prices on a genuine solo stove. I don't buy for one second that Walmart's can even compare long haul. Amazon sells a stove grate that are 2 pieces as a knock off grate that works much better than the solo stove. You can use the Mesa and Mesa XL as stoves as well.
