Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0

The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is the smokeless fire pit most people should buy: light enough to carry one-handed, genuinely smokeless once up to temperature, and backed by a lifetime warranty. The 2.0 adds a removable ash pan that fixes the original's biggest annoyance. Just know that the airflow that kills the smoke also sends heat upward, so it warms a crowd less than an open fire — and the steel can rust in damp climates.
