My deflector on the solo stove works very well. Makes using it during the cold months worth it. Just wish I would’ve done better research about where these campfire stoves are made. I would’ve bought an American made version instead of the Chinese version I currently have.
Thanks for watching! The technical name is heat deflector but unfortunately mine is a makeshift one that I found. Mine is actually meant to be a cap for a grease exhauste for a restaurant
The one I used is called a witches cap. It's a cap to the top of an exhaust fan. It's a custom build but they made it the wrong size so lucky for me the sheet metal shop still gave it to us for free because stainless steel isn't cheap.
Great video! I think the official solo stove deflector is only 7 inches or so tall. I would think you want the heat to come out lower than 14 inches, especially if you’re sitting down. Just a thought….
This makes a big difference in being able to feel the heat when sitting around it! The heat deflectors are pricey! Glad it was free and works great!
Couldn't be happier!
Best idea I’ve seen in a while!
Thanks for watching!
epic idea
Awesome idea. I have everything to make this laying around and it sure beats paying $100 for one.
Thanks for the video
It really does work well and beats spending money on one!
Smart idea!
It works great!

Yeah definitely will help out when it's really cold out so I won't have to hover over the fire. Thanks for watching 👍
What diameter is your witches cap and where can i get one?
Do you think the underside of the cap actually makesa difference? Compared to without it?
awesome thanks for this, question though, what is the technical name of the deflector you have, what you referred to as a witches cap?
or better yet a link to that would be amazing, thanks in advance!

I love make shift fixes, this helps a lot, thanks again!
what was the name of the cap you bought?
Where did you get the top?
It was just a left over item from a job I was on. But they do sell things like it on Amazon. It's a heat deflector.
@@WhatTheHeckMan Do you know what that one is called or what it came off?
