Simple hack: buy a cheap patio paver stone at Lowes, Home Depot, or your local patio/garden store. A 12x12x1.5 paver should run you $2 and be more than enough protection for any heat-vulnerable surface. Even an expensive and more decorative paver should only run you less than $5.

Good idea

[@gerardmartyn7596]

If you stand the kindling up it will burn longer than laying it down/across. Great video thank you 😊

[@Homedadgriff]

Thanks for the tip

Dude, your discussion ….you were sitting at a table! Expanded wire mesh, would be a fine table top to use it on, definitely not on wood or plastic top tho. At least you admitted you goofed up! Ha ha

[@Homedadgriff]

Yeah, I definitely goofed up. Just didn’t think about it since I’ve tested so many tabletop fire pits on it before lol

[@johnwilliams8654]

I see you can buy stands similar to the solo stove, but they are around $40... At that point you might as well just buy the solo.

[@Homedadgriff]

very true

I usually start these from the top with tightly packed wood.
