    I have the bonfire and it’s perfect for a family of 4. I also have a rotisserie ring for my 18” Weber Smokey Mountain and it fits this pit perfectly. I put some tabs on the ring to hold a grate so I can grill or rotisserie with it. And the lid of WSM goes on top if needed.

      @TheBarbecueLab  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We will often break out the Bonfire when it's just the 4 of us hanging out on the patio, so I'm right there with you. The Canyon is aptly named I think, because that thing is massive and great for company. That's great info on the WSM, thanks for sharing!

    Here is a substitute for heat deflectors: HIGHER SEATS! I have two SOLOs, and the one back east I use on a deck with high bench seating. Makes a big difference if you are sitting 10-12” higher than a standard chair!

    • @TheBarbecueLab
      @TheBarbecueLab  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great tip! The seats we use around the fire pit are taller high back adirondack chairs, and they make it so much easier to feel heat when we're sitting down.

      @@TheBarbecueLab I love the heat deflectors, in theory, but it interferes with the natural enjoyment of watching a flame…. And underneath it all, every man you know is just a 13 year old boy who loves to make fires and cook stuff.

      Hey Surf, how is your deck under the Solos?

    • @surfingonmars8979
      @surfingonmars8979 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@gosman949 I have the base for the SOLO, and I placed four large, square paving stones down under it. They protect the wooden deck. When I have used it on the concrete driveway, the concrete was warm to the touch, but not hot. I suspect that if you got a readily-available asbestos mat for your deck, it would be fine. There are very few sparks or embers - none, really - so I used it on the deck after observing it for a while on the concrete driveway in the east. Here in SoCal, I use mine on spanish style tiles, and it is fine.

    Thank you for the video, from a fellow BBQ guy (dual BGE’s). I have a question on the Canyon - if you don’t want a raging fire in the canyon, will the smoke reburn still work? If I only light a couple logs for a small fire in the largest fire pit I worry it won’t contain enough heat to reburn the smoke at the top. Sometimes we like big fires sometimes small. I’m on the fence between Yukon and Canyon. Thank you in advance.

      @TheBarbecueLab  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I really like the Canyon too. It's crazy how wide the heat radius is on that model. I got to see the 36" Old Country at the BBQ Expo this year, but it wasn't lit... Sounds like a good upcoming test!
