This ain't a knockOFF. And you know why? Because Solo IS the KnockOFF. They copied their first small stove from a small two person American company in Alaska: Bushbuddy. They did so knowing those guys had no money for a patent and to enforce it. They never asked for their permission, never offered any money. nothing! So whoever compete Solo, then GOOD THING!
Heck yeah! True and sad. Bushbuddy is still around but solo total stole their thunder. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann The guys at Bushbuddy should have gone bigger. They stayed very small and because of that have a turn over of 8 months! So I understand why some people goes for Solo. But if walmart has them now too, then I'll buy from Walmart just to frustrate Solo from getting my money :)
@@DiabloOutdoors lol heck yeah
This exactly. Eff Solo Stove.
It's just a wood gasifier. They've been around since the 19th century....
I know its a popular thing to bash Walmart but to be honest because of their cheap prices and surprisingly good products I started my camping journey last summer because I could afford it and I mean 70 bucks got me out there so I think I might be grabbing one of these stoves haha.
Bro exactly! People bash their gear but for under a hundred bucks it got you out and camping!!!! That’s awesome. Thanks for watching
I have the same stove and it's great! Used it probably 40 times no issues.
Let's not act like WalMart has good quality. But good enough is good enough.
I just picked up the small one the other day! Can't wait to try it, looks like it would be extremely efficient for cooking
Definitely hot enough to cook lol. Thanks for watching
As someone who loves campfires but whose allergies act up around smoke, these look worth looking into
Oh that’s a great point. They aren’t always smokeless but for the most part they are. Thanks for watching
Good review. Thanks.
May pick up that stove at the wal-mart.
🐿
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
We are full time RV'r. I've been happy with Ozark trail products
I’m happy with most of their gear too! Thanks for watching
I bought one of these Ozark Trail smokeless fire pit grills after watching your video! and I really like it so far! I don't care that its a sorta knockoff of a knock off! I would buy the smaller one too, but I already have the Solo Stove Campfire.
Awesome to hear! Glad you like it. Thanks for watching
This is what I've been saying all this time, there is always someone out there that wants to rip people off and over charge them for something that does not need to be expensive unless you got a lot of middle men in between making profits. This video shows you that you can save a lot of money and avoid giving your money to crooks that don't deserve it! Thanks for this video. 👍
Amen brother! You’re welcome and thanks for watching
I have the solo stoves and fire pits and Love them. I think it’s a stretch to call them crooks for pricing their product the way they have. Their quality and customer service is amazing. The beauty of an open market is there can be vendors who can be more competitive and market their version through various changes from the original (Suppliers, labor force, raw materials, etc). I’m not mad at them for that and we get more options.
@@rosapdl great points. If it cost them more to make they have to charge more right. Thanks for watching
I saw those in Walmart the last time I went and have to admit I was definitely curious. The experience I had with the insurance Walmart sold was, it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. I hope that if you need to use it you will have much better luck than I did. The next thing will be if they hold up as well Solo stoves do. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless and stay safe.
It peaked my interest for sure. As for the insurance, that’s not nice to hear lol. If I do find out how it is, I hope I have a good experience. Thanks for watching
Nothing like paying 10 dollars so you can wait in a Hugh line and argue with an WalMart employee.
@Moondoggy1941 lol oh what fun that is. Thanks for watching
Walmart issuances kind of sucks, usually only can use it once the company product warranty expires, and sometimes they make sure you actually contacted the company one what process to go through before hand. When i bought couple of tv and electronic a fellow worker said it wasn't worth it, just so many steps to go through and just easy money grab. Sometimes Walmart wont even take issuance if you don't have the insurance paper receipt from the time you bought the product. Walmart is just hoping customers lose that paper, so they can get the extra cash.
@@Varnage Some stores would sell you the product, they would have all of the information, you would buy the warranty, they would never tell you, that YOU had to register it or it would not be covered, yet they have all the information, and I would get arrested for theft, but not them.
Thanks for this vid man. We have a popup camper with limited space. This item here is a great fit for our PUP.
Oh yeah it’s great for limited space. You’re welcome and thanks for watching
I'll be buying one I could never find myself to pay solo's crazy price for a fire pit but always liked it.
For real, so expensive. Everything is these days. Thanks for watching
Ok you had my attention being a firebug type with a burn count. I do like the larger solo type fire pit. Both solo stove knockoffs look fun.
Welcome to the burn counters my friend! Thanks for watching
I just ordered a backpack sized one branded gasone. You can also use wood pellets in them. Which works for me as I use a pellet smoker as well.
You can use pellets. If the holes are too small you may need to add a bottom plate to stop them from falling through. Thanks for watching
First time seeing your page and I have to say, I like your reviews…your reviews are honest and simple…not full of shameless plugs to get sponsors
Glad you enjoyed. But I do have sponsored videos. I’m as honest in those as I am in every other one. My two latest inflatable hot tent videos were sponsored and I was completely honest with how the tents are. Go check them out lol. Thanks for watching
Don't crap on the sponsors. They're a necessary evil otherwise it wouldn't be worth anyone's time doing these videos. Ppl have jobs and families. If you have no sponsors, then we don't get these videos.
@@sg5587 heck yeah, I take every sponsorship I can. Keep them all honest. Thanks for watching
I got a Members Mark 22” smokeless pit from Sams Club for $199 and it’s awesome. Only smokes a little if the wood is too moist at startup.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for watching
Unapologetic laughter in the face of dangerous harmful burns to self?! Immediately subscribing. Spackman gets the W!
Lol burn counts for win! Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing
My wife and I live completely off grid. We will be investing in both.
Nice! How long have you guys been off grid? What do you stay in? Thanks for watching
Will be picking these up!!! I love me a good fire out in the back yard that I can cook on.
Nice! Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for watching
Trademark pending… classic. I held my breath wondering if you were going to touch the teapot handle a second time and use instant coffee.
Lol I brought the drip maker out just for you. I forgot it on my last trip so I used a beer can to make coffee. Lol I was expecting myself to grab it a second time too. Thanks for watching.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
So glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
I got to say most of the Ozark trail stuff has been a great cheap back up to most name brand pricey equipment I still use my Ozark cooler from 2016 daily in every work truck and they all have the 52qt I think
I have a lot of OT gear that are my primary equipment. Including a cooler too lol. Thanks for watching
You convinced me. Think I'll get both of them too. Will let you know if I burn myself more than twice. Thanks!
Can’t wait to hear your count lol. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video! I'll see if my Wal-Mart has one, and if so, I'll buy it and try it! Have a fantastic week, Sir.
You’re welcome! Have a fantastic week too. Thanks for watching
I do a lot of wok cooking while camping, and the smaller stove would be perfect because of the heat output. Just need to see if the pot stands work well with a round bottom wok.
Heck yeah. Thanks for watching
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 hear that. As for tents, I’ve used several for many many years and always recommend using a tarp but I say the same for any tent. Their instant tents are so cool. Thanks for watching
I just did a short on the solo stove mesa xl. I was quite impressed.
The small table top one? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann yeah. Works great on pellets. It was a pain to keep it fed with kindling
@@OutdoorTherapyYT I could imagine it was.
A bit high flame with the smal one. Maybe the holes on the bottom are too big. But that can be regulated with a steel mash that collect the ash better and the airflow get restrictet after some burningtime. Have two small clean burning ovens, one has bigger holes in the bottom than the other. The one with big holes are a beast for burning big dry pieces (compered for its chambervolume) and burn semidry materials well. The one with smaller holes are very efficient when you burn short dry chunks, but get clogged after a while if you use bigger chunk, og smoke like hell if you try to burn damp or semidry materials. None are best, I choose one of them after conditions and what I plan to burn.
It was a big flame. Not sure if that was too much air or too much material. Great points. Thanks for watching
Hard to tell from the pics, but on the small backpacking stove do the pot supports fold in to support a smaller pot or cup.
They fold in but flush with the hinges so they don’t help to support a smaller pot. Thanks for watching
Dude totally enjoyed your show about the cat stoves. Just one correction it's smokey bear not smokey the bear.
Lmao holy cow! Just googled it and you’re right. Smokey the Bear comes from the song but his name is Smokey Bear lol. Glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for watching
GREAT INFO THANKS DUDE!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Lol! A knockoff of a knockoff! Solo Stove knocked off bush buddy years ago.
Sure did! Thanks for watching
I wish more of these style stoves had a deflector plate to bounce heat down and sideways. So much heat wasted going straight up
Making one wouldn’t be that hard or modifying solos reflector would be even less hard to fit this or other stoves. Thanks for watching
I just want to say one thing. I can already look at that stove and tell you away that you can make a quick pot deal forward. Take a couple pieces of all thread and lay across each one of them. Where you make an ax across those pot stands. And we're lazy in that channel that all thread can lay in that channel and get one bigger and 1 thinner. And then the bigger one will set on top. And the little ones said underneath it and go down in the channel. And then that way, you will be able to use that for a smaller pot.
Great idea! I was thinking tent stakes but all thread would work too! Thanks for watching
Out of shear curiosity, I bought the first one a few days before this was uploaded, you're literally the only review I could find lol. My question is, the actual pan with the vents that sits over the ash tray doesn't seem to connect to the top ring and my jet is in the middle rather than the top. Possible defect? Yours appeared to be pretty closely connected internally and got that nice jet effect at the top just under the ring. I may have to tinker with it some more but all in all, I've enjoyed the hell out of it. Great review!
Mine fits together nicely, i would say just go exchange it but where i live they aren't really on the shelves.....people are buying em up pretty quick
If you can’t figure out how to fit it properly, I would agree, defect. Definitely go exchange it asap before they are gone. When they are fully connected the burn chamber should fully extent past the upper section when lifted up, as you can see in the video when I took it apart. Thanks for watching
I like the small one. Useful, good price.
Right! Thanks for watching
I got a smaller knockoff version of the solo stove. quite cool, but it doesn't really give off heat to the side..just straight up.
Yes the double wall kinda insulated the sides. Thanks for watching
Didn’t know they had them. Rather cool.
Great video bud.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
I don't believe I would get one because the flames are too high for me, but thanks for doing this video.
Less wood would equal less flames. I had it loaded to the rim, over stuffed. Thanks for watching
Try out the Ohuhu camping stove. Smaller, so it fits in a backpack. Cheap, and seems nearly bullet proof. You can always find enough small sticks for fuel.
I’ll take a look. Thanks for watching
i remember when solo stove was doing a kickstarter.. for the tiny backpacking version.
i might get one of these ozark versions for my gazebo. trouble is, we've been in the high 60's all month. so no point in a fire, just yet.
I remember too. Much cheaper then right? Thanks for watching
cant remember that guy's name.. but he didnt really invent anything, we were making wood burners out of 1 qt paint cans like 25 years ago. nice to see him take the company places, i guess. it was inevitable there'd be chinese knock-offs. @@AdventureswithSpackmann
I think I will go get the smaller one. Thanks
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
I actually almost bought one! But I thought I’d wait, now it’s like I need to get one next week lol 😆
Lol I hear ya! Thanks for watching
Yeah...ditto! Flip the 3 legs inward to hold smaller pots!
I thought and wish it would work like that. When you flip them in, they are flush with the hinges so it doesn’t add any room. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video , I got the small one but haven't used it yet
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
The gasification seems to stop as soon as I put a pot on top.
Hmm I didn’t notice. I’ll try to check it out it next time I’m using it. Thanks for watching
Wow anyone else notice the 20 degree lean to all his tower of fire . Compared to his porch post that's a dangerous lean
What do you mean, like my firepit isn’t level? Thanks for watching
Solo stove is a Chinese knockoff of the Bush Buddy made in Alaska. USA. As is the version from Walmart.
Ah yes the Bush Buddy. Are they still making stoves? Thanks for watching
FYI got to looking at my carrying case it is also acts like a grill cover waterproof😮
Oh no way! Great to know. Thank you!
Good find, good video, thanks. Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
I just saw these at a nearby Walmart yesterday. Looking for reviews and found your channel. Great review! I will be buying both the Ozark Trail fire pit and stove.
Don’t really need them as I already have a knockoff of the Solo Stove fire pit and cook stove, but am actually a fan of Ozark Trail and Hyper Tough. Just can not afford the name brand stuff, besides the prepped in me says 1 is none and 2 is 1 !
By the way, subscribed to your channel.
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for subscribing.
Prepping is great. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for watching
good product test and price compairison.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
All you would need for the smaller stove for smaller pots, pans or a cup is a round baking rack or two to place to place on the supports. that would give you the grid you need to support the smaller pots, pans or cup.
Yup or two tent stakes. Anything going across the top. Thanks for watching
Educational and entertaining, thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
I got the smaller one after watching this.I like it.@@AdventureswithSpackmann
Highly entertaining!
So glad you think so. Thanks for watching
I mean thats why u make a smaller fire? 🤷🏻🤣 Makes sense
Make prefect sense. Thanks for watching
Honestly, I am glad to see more solo stove knockoffs. Solo stove basically copied Bush Buddy to start with
Heck yeah. Thanks for watching
i have looked at those for a while simply because of the cost difference
They sure are cheaper! Thanks for watching
Worth trying.
For the price, heck yeah . Thanks for watching
How does it work with wood pellets?
I’ve seen solo stoves used with wood pellets so I would imagine the same way. Smaller flame, longer burn. Thanks for watching
Those are pretty cool! Great prices as well!
For sure! Thanks for watching
I like the big stove. Wonder how it does in the weather and rusting.
Same. I don’t think I’ll find out since my fire pit area is covered but just sitting outside will be interesting too. Thanks for watching
I have the ozark jetboil and use it a lot👍
What??????? Ozark jet boil???? Seriously, how have I not seen that yet. Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann yes, except the pot is a little bigger than jet boil.
@frederick6008 I’ll have to check it out! Thanks
Bro this is great information !! Who wants to pay triple the price for a stupid solo stove logo except really rich people lol I have been wanting one of these for a long time and now I see the best place to get one thanks to you !! And Bro you are f****** hilarious 😂 thank you for sharing the great information
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
Awesome video
Thanks bro!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann my pleasure
The Firepit model appears much taller than the Ranger or Bonfire (Solo Stove) models. No need for the "cone" Solo Stove uses to elevate the cooking grate.
According the specs you’re right, but only by 1 inch is the Walmart one taller. So the cone is just for the grate? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann It appears much taller than by only 1". The "cone" is used for the cooking grate, cooking wok, cooking griddle and the heat deflector. The first three are cast iron while the deflector is made from 304 Stainless Steel.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I believe the stated dimensions on the Solo Stove (Ranger) include the stand, which is about two inches, in their height.
Oh you’re right. Ranger says 15 where this is over 17.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann The additional height allows for easier application for fuel positioned below the jet openings for efficient burns.
NEVER trust a warranty or the company that claims to have them. Most make it hard to get any help
I’m hearing that more and more. Thanks for watching
Pretty cool
Right bro! Thanks for watching
Assuming thats real stainless and not a stainless electro plate, thats an insanely good deal for $40 and should last for a very long time without any corrosion. But considering China knockoff stuff, it is probably just an electroplating and any dings or dents will damage the coating and cause issues.
So all I need to do is dent it and we will find out? Then leave it outside? Thanks for watching.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Dents can break the plating off surfaces and exposing it to elements will cause nature to take its course. Its like how they say if you get dented cans of like soup or vegetables you shouldnt let them sit as the inside of cans are plated and being dented destroys that and causes the acidic products to eat away at it from the inside.
I’m thinking if you flip the pot holders in on the little stove, you could use a cup?
Hmmm you mean just fold them into the stove? If so, no, they are flush with the hinges so flipping them in doesn’t change the size. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann too bad they didn’t make them so the stopped half way so you could fit a smaller pot/cup. I’ll go to China and see what I can do 😜😜
Try using a wood pellet to work great
I’ve tried pellet in the small stove. Burns great but I wasn’t impressed with burn time. Blocking some holes in the burn chamber would probably help. Thanks for watching
TWO WORDS.......WELDING GLOVES
I have a nice pair of those. Thanks for watching
Or a stick
@@shakeval thanks for watching
Are the flames supposed to be that high? How is it even usable as such. Flame is 3ft tall...
Supposed to? I mean less wood makes less fire so if you want a smaller flame, use less wood. Once it burned down it wasn’t 2-3ft tall. Thanks for watching
Just got one think I'll go back and get the bigger one...
Nice! Thanks for watching
I'm typically not a fan of buying knockoff products, but solo stove is just stupid expensive.
They are crazy expensive. Thanks for watching
Solo stoves are just knock offs of Bushbuddy stoves
@carldwyer6058 yup. Now no one knows of the bush buddy unfortunately
Wow, the flames on that backpacking stove @3:30 seem a bit high for manipulating a pot or kettle…
I definitely had it set to high lol. Less wood may help that out. Thanks for watching
You can’t beat pocket rocket stoves lol
You sure can’t. Thanks for watching
Rocket stove for the win! Lol! 😅
lol yeah buddy. Thanks for watching
I think you might have meant to say, "trapezoidal holes"...
Not sure what I said but yeah.
I must’ve laughed for 5 minutes straight when you burned yourself 😂😂
Lmao awesome! Worth it. Thanks for watching
I've wanted a portable fire pit and can't afford the Solo. I was also skeptical of the Walmart brand. Thank you for sharing this video.
No disrespect intended, but reaching over the top of a 2-foot flame and grabbing a wire handle water kettle isn't the smartest thing to do. Use a stick for goodness sake.
lol none taken. Sometimes I get caught up in filming and don’t think about what I’m doing. Thanks for watching
I really liked the solo but I just feel nasty spending that kind of money for what they are. I'm heading to Walmart as we speak for these two stoves though.
I agree. Over $100 bucks for a twig stove does put a nasty taste in your mouth. Thanks for watching
Does the bonfire get hot enough on the outside to warm up your legs?
Upper legs yes if you’re standing close to it. Feet, not so much if at all. I was able to touch the bottom portion without burning myself. Upper section was hotttt. Thanks for watching.
I purchased the 15” pit I just got the 7” tabletop I used wood pellets after the first burn on my unit I need to clean out the collection pan it prevented the proper air flow worked great after that
Anyone does wood burn better ?? Thanks
I’ve used wood and wood pellets in the small one. It was cleaned before each use. I think wood last longer but the pellets start the gasification sooner and has a better secondary burn in my testing. Thanks for watching
the bottom one
The little one or the big one?
Walmart needs to do a knock off giraffe rocket stove or a yukon 2.
That would be so cool! Thanks for watching
I was going to make my own stove like most of you, but I spend a hundred bucks every week on gas for my truck. For a hundred dollars that Walmart is asking for this ozark stove and doing any manufacturing work to make one it’s many better spent here. Your wood or other fuel sources will not last. The 15 inch stove burns stuff hot and fast.
For sure! Thanks for watching
Probably could’ve just had her hold the box for you, instead of having to lay down on Walmarts floor my guy.. 🤷🏻♂️😁 But good looking out for us all either way tho!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That thought crossed my mind after the fact lmao or just had put them in the cart lol. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Lol! For sure! Ya know I always gotta come show some love on the channel! That thing looks well worth the price honestly!!🤙🏼🤙🏼
Buy you an old cheap dryer, take the tub out and convert it into a stove/fire pit. Thank me later.
I’m currently using a washer drum. They are stainless steel. Is a dryer stainless? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann mine is gold!
@@_DB.COOPER sweet!
How is the heat throw on these stoves?
From the bottom, almost nonexistent. From the top, a lot of heat. Thanks for watching
the solo stove itself is a knockoff of the bushbuddy
Correct. Thanks for watching
A great review!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
3:56 Get. A. Glove!
🤷♂️ thanks for watching
Way to hot for cooking unless it will simmer down. Cast iron cooking is done over coals and not the flames of a campfire which are way hotter and uncontrolable.
Probably best for boiling water but less fuel should mean less fire. You can also try restricting the air flow at the base of the stove or coming out of the stove. Thanks for watching
I wouldn’t use it because the flame is far too big!
I understand but the flame on mine was huge cause of the amount of wood I was burning. Thanks for watching
Remember that the Solo Stove itself is a knockoff! The Walmart Ozark Trail and the Solo Stove are both knockoffs of the actual original Bush Buddy stove
Yes it is. Wish I mentioned that but forgot. Thanks for watching
WELL... I like my SVEA123
What’s that? Thanks for watching
All dat kislux bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous
Thanks for watching
Now I am going to Walmart lol
Lol. Thanks for watching
Does it send out a lot of sparks that could start a forest fire. Just wondering if you would need a fire spark on top. Thank you
With my limited experience I would say less sparks then a normal fire but there is always a risk with any fire. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann thank you for your answer 😊😊
You’re welcome
