We got our Yukon before we left for an RV trip to Acadia Nat'l Park. It fit nicely in the basement of our 5th wheel. We used it every night for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also got the pellet adaptor and tried pellets and pellets and mixed hard/sofwoods. It's not "smokeless", it "smokes less". A very noticeable improvement over a conventional campfire.
I just purchased the Ranger, can't wait to use it. Thanks for sharing. We have a pellet stove and this will be great. We hope to be at the Urbanna Oyster Festival camping in Nov. Enjoy!
I agree. I personally think there was not enough oxygen in the stove. I think that if there was something to make an air gap in the middle of the pit (specifically only a ring/doughnut of pellets) there would be enough air for a more complete burn.
A lot of the ones designed for pellets have a cone in the middle or ridges to keep and air pocket. Could probably uses a small metal bucket in the middle drilled with plenty of holes small enough for the pellets not to fall through.
@@johnsmithfakename8422The problem is, and this happens with all the solo range, the pellets burn from the top down via gasification. The non combustible elements have nowhere to go after being burnt so they smother the fresh pellets below and the whole think smoulders. Best not to overload or top up too much with pellets.
Manufacture guide lines don’t recommend the use of wood pellets on the Solo Stove. There most be a reason why is not recommended. Go ahead and damage your Solo Stove, throw your investment down the toilet…not too smart of you, it make you wonder why that fire pit look so terrible and miss treated.

Thanks. Doing an update now.

If this was an efficient burn, there would be nothing but white ash after the burn and precious little of that. Something is wrong.
I agree.

Amy harm in mixing in a regular piece of chopped wood towards the end to keep the fire going if you didn’t want to open another bag of pellets?
That is what i have been doing. Works well.
@@jimhorrocks6473 Good stuff. Thank you, sir. Appreciate the video and feedback.
Very cool thanks for doing this.
Just uploading a new one. More info.
are pellets the only thing in the pit
how do the pellets not fall into the wholes of the pit
He said he put a screen in the bottom I believe.
Used a piece of stainless steel and cut to fit. It has small holes. Will have to do a followup.
Did you use the pellet adapter?
I made my own from stainless steel sheet with small holes.
What Solo model do you have?
Bonfire
WEHAVE USED WASH MACHINE DRUMS FOR SMOKELESS FIRE PITS! THIS IS JUST THAT
Ok Fred Sanford.

OMG, nobody cares.
You can burn pellets they sell an adapter. Get a clue before you post wrong information
Its a hunk of stainless, chill out.
Solo Stove does sell a pellet adapter. Pricey though.
@@jimhorrocks6473I moved from the country to the city and use this on my patio. Can't believe how hard it is to find wood. Pellets might work.
