Solo made their name with their highly efficient portable “smokeless” firepits and camp stoves. The firepits and camp stoves use a proprietary “secondary burn”—referred to as their Signature 360° Airflow Design”—that “nearly” eliminates smoke. “The secondary burn takes place near the top of the Solo Stove’s burn chamber. The upper vent holes along the inside…blasts the fire with preheated oxygen, creating a hotter and more beautiful fire while burning off smoke.”

According to Good Housekeeping “In our testing, the Solo Stove proved to be smokeless once it got hot enough. Flames could still be seen, but it was not smoky. Instead, it emitted something similar to the clear gasses you see when you light a Sterno to keep food warm.” Note that Snoop Dog has recently become a spokesperson for the Solo firepits, as he has also gone smoke-free.

Solo began in 2011 with a Kickstarter campaign and has since grown into a two billion dollar business with a diverse catalogue.
