Sometimes evening just doesn’t feel complete without a fire. But let’s face it, smoke can be irritating and campfires can be a hassle to clean up. That’s why we love Solo Stove’s innovative gasifier stoves and fire pits. They’re really easy to use, nearly smoke-free, and they don’t scar the ground.
The Bonfire is Solo Stove’s most popular portable fire pit for the backyard or campsite. The Lite and Campfire camp stoves work well for heating water and cooking on camping and backpacking trips. Both the Lite and the Campfire run entirely off small twigs and wood you can find laying around, eliminating the need to carry fuel.

Solo Stove Bonfire
The Solo Stove Bonfire is the life of the party and a warm, glowing centerpiece to gather around whether we’re out camping or relaxing in our own backyard. We especially love being able to enjoy a fire without smoke irritating our eyes, lungs, or our neighbors. Plus, we’re really glad we can have our fun without permanently marking the ground in our favorite outdoor spaces. If you’re hoping to spend more quality time outside gathering with friends and family, the Bonfire is one of our favorite pieces of gear for outdoor entertainment.
Solo Stove Campfire
The Solo Stove Campfire is a fun way to cook and entertain at the campsite on casual car camping trips. Like other Solo Stoves, it uses a gasifier design to create a hot, efficient, and nearly smoke-free fire. The Campfire is easy to start and keep burning with only twigs and small pieces of wood that you can find around most campsites. It works great for cooking simple one-pot meals for small groups. And, if you’re like us, you’ll enjoy keeping the Campfire burning long after you’ve finished your meal just to watch the flames. The Campfire requires a bit more effort than most camping stoves, but we love the fun and interactive qualities of it for leisurely trips.
Solo Stove Lite
If you enjoy tinkering with fire and are excited by the idea of collecting fuel from the landscape, the Solo Stove Lite is an excellent option for cooking on your backcountry adventures. This wood-burning camp stove does more than just boil water for your hot cocoa or freeze dried meals. It satisfies our primal human craving for a touch of warmth and glowing ambiance in camp after a long day on the trail – without the smoke in your face. At 9 oz., this stove isn’t winning any prizes for being lightweight, but not having to carry fuel does help. While the Lite takes a bit more effort to use than some modern canister stoves, it adds an aspect of fun to our adventures and we love it for casual trips when our hiking itinerary doesn’t include lots of big-mile days.
