Nice review - I love the comparison. It's a huge help especially when you can't decide on which direction to go.
Thanks for watching!
I just got my East Oak this morning. This video makes me glad I picked it! Thx
I think you will be happy with it. I like the Solo, but the East Oak has been better every time we use it.
Excellent review which clearly shows the East Oak fire pit as the top contender. East Oak also comes with additional accessories that you would have to pay extra for with Solo Stove. Ordered the East Oak at a cost savings from Amazon, and should have it in for the ‘23 Thanksgiving Holidays.
We still use the East Oak over all the other ones we have. It's the most used fire pit we own.
I just bought an east oak. Trying it out for the first time today. Experiencing similar results. Think ill be happy with my purchase. Black Friday special. Thanks for the review, great job.
Thanks. Yeah, I was very surprised how much different it really was. Definitely a great fire pit.
I have a Solo Stove Ranger and had no problem creating a fire and secondary burn.
I can get the fire started in my Solo Stove Ranger rather easy also, but the video was to do an apples to apples comparison for starting (same starters, same amount, same time). My East Oak lights much faster and easier than the Solo Stove, but both are not that hard to light. I just have to put more effort into starting the Solo Stove. Both are great stoves.
@@SeidelRanchReviewsThe solo is easy to light, I have mine roaring in minutes. Something is off with your experience!!
@@Laptopdog78 I can have mine with a good flame in a few minutes too, but this was an apples to apples test with the same amount of wood and tender.
Between the two, the Solo Stove takes a lot more effort to start it. The East Oak lights very fast on minimal tender to get it started. Once it's lit, the East Oak also burns faster and hotter. That was the test; how easy they are to get started. I had to pile on more tender to get the Solo Stove up and running.
I went with the 29" East Oak based on your video. The 29er is probably overkill for my patio but I didn't want to risk not getting enough heat from their 21 incher.
That is nice and big. I would expect a lot of heat from that. Keep me updated on how that one works for you.
@@SeidelRanchReviews It's shipping now and supposed to be here by Friday. Can't wait to light it up this weekend!
@@JaRhule I also ordered the 29'' one and it will be delivered on Dec 8th can't wait.
Thats what i looking for man. Thnks a lot from Turkey✋🏼
Glad I could help
Great side by side, thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I have no idea if the East Oak is actually better, but I know you didn’t follow any instructions. Commonly known with a Solo Stove (and maybe all similar) that you build a reverse fire with larger stuff on the very bottom and kindling on top. I have an older solo stove model and have never had any issues with getting a fire going doing it the correct way.
Thanks for the info! When you say "you didn’t follow any instructions" & "commonly known", do you mean it's in the instructions that come with the fire pit or it's something that is discussed and learned on a discussion board or Facebook group? I ask because I don't remember seeing anything about that in the instructions of the fire pit. I lit both of these the same way I always start our fire pits and got mixed results as you saw. I can try the way you are talking about to see if it's any better, but I am sure the East Oak will still light much faster. I like the Solo Stove, it's a good solid fire pit but it's just harder to start any way you do it.
The instructions from solo stove isn’t the reverse way, it’s the way this video placed it to be.
I have a Ranger as well, and it takes a while and time for it to burn nicely which is a hassle as I live in a townhouse with many neighbours around.
I’m gonna check out the East Oak fire pit. It may be the one I’m looking for
East oak all the way, thanks for this review!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Great video, very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
Great video...thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Great review! Solo stove gets a lot of press. Must have a good marketing team 😀
Yeah. They do a lot of marketing and were one of the first smokeless fire pits. The issue is now they are more of a brand name and less of a top of the line fire pit.
My friend has a solo stove it's not that good. You can't really feel any heat from your knees down when sitting. Can you feel heat sitting down on your feet on the east oak?
Well, that is going to be somewhat an issue with any firepit because the heat will rise quickly from the distance of the fire pit to you. That said though, I do believe my East Oak puts out more heat than my Solo Stove mainly because it seems to burn hotter, faster and larger.
They sell things like this: amzn.to/3QVUltK
I can't say how well they work because I don't have one. They seem to have good ratings though. I hope that helps.
Very scientific....good job.
Thank you. I hope to do more videos like this in the future.
yea i agrre with you but the solo stoves fire looks nicer. maybe cause more wood but fire looks cooler
There are pros and cons of course to both. I was just looking at the 3 points in the video. Solo makes a great stove and I will use them both. What I really liked about the East Oak stove was that it could just put out so much heat, you really could have a much bigger group around it even though it was a smaller stove.
Both stoves burned for a long time off the wood I put in there, but the solo stove did burn longer and would not go through as much wood as the East Oak would. With the Solo Stove, I recommend a starting block to get the fire started.
Are you sure you’re not referring to the East Oak @CLG_Pro?
Drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom center ofthe solo and you should be good
I have thought about drilling some holes in the bottom of the solo stove so that it gets more air flow when it's on the stand. Have you done that? Did it work much better? I think they didn't put holes in the bottom because the stand was an afterthought. The East Oak has a lot of holes for air flow.
look like on the video the east oak puts out more smoke then the solo stove. is this correct?
I would say they are about the same on smoke. It really all depends how fast they get to a clean fire. The East Oak may even be less smoke than the Solo Stove because it does get to a really hot fire much quicker. Both fire pits are great though when it comes to burning out the smoke.
East oak has advanced air follow technology but let's not show it or show how it work in the review what the difference bottom air follow between the two
The point of the video was to test it and see how well it worked vs the leading brand. I was not trying to focus on the holes in it. You can see pictures of the holes here: amzn.to/3HcqrOM
Is East Oak made in USA ?
I am pretty sure they are made in China like all of the other fire pits on the market, but I am not positive.
what about heat from the sides and not top are they even?
It really depends on the size of the fire in them. If they both had about the same size fire I would expect them to both put out about the same amount of heat. That said, it's easier to get a larger fire in the East Oak.
@@SeidelRanchReviews thanks for ur comment i have one more question is the 21 inch east oak going to generate enough fire for a party of 6 i didn’t go for the 29 cz it will cost me more shipping price because it will be shipped to me internationally
@@barceloni93 For 6 I think the 21 is a nice size. I have the 17 and I could probably have 6 around it with a good size fire. The 21 is a good deal bigger than the 17.
Solo over priced in my opinion east looks better ❤❤
Agree. Love the East Oak. The Solo is still a great fire pit, but it's way overpriced and needs an update.
@@SeidelRanchReviewstotally agree got an east oak coming in a few days ready for spring 😂
@@krazykid2002k Awesome. We use ours all the time. It's crazy the heat these littles things can put out. Hope you love it.
What is thr measurement inside above the rim?
If you measure the inside opening on the East Oak I have, it's 13" across from flat edge to the other flat edge. The rounded corner to the other side rounded corner is about 14.4". Hope that helps.
@@SeidelRanchReviews thanks! Its not gonna be easy finding a screen for this, might have to settle on a round. I got the solo stove bonfire with a non original heat deflector and wasnt impress at all. I let it burn well for 2 hours and still no heat even with that deflector. So i bought this east oak 21” in order to compare bc of your video. I hope to not even use a heat deflector with this
@@yongbloods How is the lateral heat/defelction from the 21" East Oak compared to the Solo Stove?
@@ryanaustin5348 honestly i cant tell a difference bc i never burned them really hot to know, i think you have to have it blazing. I think it works just as well if not a little better
There is something VERY VERY off with this review!! Trust me, VERY off!!
Very Very? Very? What is off about it? I use them both a lot and get the same results all the time.
@@SeidelRanchReviews Yes very off. You are surely sponsored by, or recieved a free unit from East Oak?
@@Laptopdog78 I received both of these units for free for this review, but that did not sway my test. It was not "faked" or bias. I used the same materials and methods for both. The East Oak just performed better in this test, hands down.
I was honestly pretty surprised it was so far apart. I have a feeling you have never tried another brand's smokeless stove. I have 2 Solo Stoves. One I had before this review and the one I got with this review. The one I paid for a few years back is even worse than the Solo Stove in this test. It's their version 1.
I have 4 smokeless pan stoves now and I use them all, but if I had to rate them all together; the 2 Solo stoves would be at the bottom. They just don't perform as good as the other 2 I have. This one is actually my favorite now: ruclips.net/video/P1r1P7dz6kE/видео.html
I loved my first Solo Stove too. But there are better ones on the market now. Solo Stove is operating on a name now. They need a Version 3 that can compete with the flood of other brands that have improved on the design.
@@SeidelRanchReviews I did my research, and watched plenty of videos before I bought a Solo Mesa XL. This thing lights so easily and burns through wood so quickly that it actually becomes a bit of a pain feeding it (but I love it). I then wanted a larger pit for the garden. I did my research and watched plenty of videos before I bought the Solo Ranger. This thing lights so easily and burns through wood so easily and quickly that I am glad I didn’t get the larger Bonfire due to the cost of wood where I am from. I was lucky to get the smaller Solo Mesa free as part of the Ranger deal also. Again great little item. My experience is that these pits work as advertised, and as plenty of reviews advise. If I had never seen another review, or had first hand experience, then I would think that these Solos are useless based on your video. I have never seen another video that shows such a struggle getting them going, except maybe the odd video regarding the use of wood pellets. (Probably the type of pellets used in my opinion). I just struggle to see how the conditions of your video were equal. I would hazard a guess that the sticks in the Solo could be very damp compared to the East Oak maybe? I know, I know, you were comparing apples with apples. 🤔
@@Laptopdog78 All of the wood came from the same dry pile I have on my wood rack. I even broke the tender up into one pile and used half for each. It's not a coincidence though, I could reproduce this over and over. The Solo Stoves don't have the same amount of airflow from the bottom. My other two non-solo stoves have way more openings at the bottom and you can really see the difference when lighting and burning.
To start the Solo Stoves I usually use a small torch to get the wood and paper lit and that does well. But I do load it up with tender or I use a small quick flame cube. Just a lighter makes it harder to light unless you stuff it with paper.
I have a Solo Stove Bonfire also at my acreage in Texas and I like both of them, but they do not burn as well as the other two. They just don't.
What I can say about the Solo Stoves is the build quality overall is better. Not massively better, but better. Cleaner I would say.
Thanks I'm going East Oak now
Hope you enjoy it! I think you will be happy you did.
@SeidelRanchReviews 21 inch East Oak and the flame is amazing to my neighbors Solo stove similar size. We have a burn off most night without him knowing. He had to come ask me what type of wood and I using.
