I had a solo stove lite for over 15 years now and it works great. Use it mostly when I’m backpacking. I ended up getting a campfire for when I am at summer camp or longer weekend camp outs. I’m now wanting a ranger. They gonna take all my monies. 🤣
I’ve had the solo campfire for a couple of years now. They came out with the Ranger just weeks after I bought the Campfire size. I’m now thinking I want something that I don’t have to saw the wood in smaller chunks for. This was the perfect comparison for me. Thanks.
The Ranger is on my toy list... I love sitting by a campfire in the evening and having the option to cook in an emergency, or even just outside when it is warm sounds great.
The solo campfire is brilliant for camping, hot enough to heat 2 people around it and give plenty of light too. It's so small and compact! Highly recommended I love mine. Thanks for the video, I'm now thinking of a ranger for summer. 😎
I'd say there's always going to be smoke if overfilled. Once its really up and running if you make sure the wood is well below the secondary burn holes you just don't get any smoke.
Good comparison I have the campfire and use it all the time, was thinking of getting the ranger, ill need to sort out availability for free wood before I can feed the ranger. Would be nice if solo stove makes a unit between the ranger and campfire
The Lite is like a having a Large Mug size The Titan is close to a large peanut butter jar The Campfire is close to the size of a paint can I love my Titan...but have ordered a Campfire also...
We have some pines that are constantly dropping tons of pine cones. My guess is the solo campfire would be ideal for that, unless too much pitch in them?
I have the solo stove campfire. We take it with us to every camp. We love it so much that we ordered the Ranger for our backyard and maybe take it with us camping. By the way, where can I get one of those wood stand steel?
You can get the Ranger with a ring that elevates it off a deck or other heat sensitive surface. It comes as a package option which is less expensive than buying separately.
I live in cold climate and have a balcony with a stone floor and a wood roof 2.5 meters above. Could I use the small solo stove without risking injuring the wood roof?
I made a small smokeless fire stove similar size to the solo campfire. 2.5 metres high wooden roof is safe to use it with a solo campfire. I would staple aluminium foil on the wooden roof up above the solo stove for the first try, just so you can practice on how many wood to feed and see how far the flame goes
@@stin987 hi I just uploaded a video of the ranger to TH-cam its only very short but you may be interested to see it th-cam.com/users/shortsud37PlTSVh0?feature=share

Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video, I think I would love the Solo Stove Campfire, it would be perfect for our next camping adventure.

Is it hot enough for -10 Celsius Temps at night?
I'd say there's always going to be smoke if overfilled. Once its really up and running if you make sure the wood is well below the secondary burn holes you just don't get any smoke.
great, this is exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for this video! Was debating between the two for my small-fish backyard. Think I'll go for the ranger.
I love the Ranger.
Just ordered the ranger, great for camping 🏕

The steel wood splitter came from Northern Tool and Equipment. It’s called a Kindling Cracker XL.
@@stin987 thank you
Who is the splinter made by?
Thanks for the video! What is the wood splitter you are using? I am unfamiliar with it.
Thanks again!
Kindling cracker xl
Love these stoves. Great comparison video. Can you set the Ranger on a wood deck?
Yes you can technically but I don’t recommend it.

@@2ndchanceinlife That's a great tip thank you so much.
have you tried wood pellets in these?
No but I’ve seen others who have on my Facebook group.

Thanks for watching.
Is the ranger “smokeless”?
What are you cutting the wood on?
It’s called a Kindling Cracker XL. It works wonderful.
@@stin987 😊Thanks
Can you use the ranger without the stand?
Yes as long as its on the ground, and not on a deck patio ect
Don't pour water on these when they are hot. It will warp.
Seems way over priced for a container. Now if it were propane it might be worth it
