Solo Stove Yukon Review. Good Or Bad - Duck Hunting Fanatics

Posted by Mitchell on June 26th, 2021

A stainless-steel lip that fits around the top of the pit produces a smoke deflector of sorts, working with the high heat below to press smoke directly instead of blowing it towards people around the fire, a huge perk compared to home-brewed firepits. Get it going hot and high enough and you'll discover the small holes on the upper inside rim releasing flames, presumably cooler outside air firing up as it exits from below.

It's impressive how warm and relaxing the Yukon can make your yard, even on cooler late-summer nights. One of my roomies declared he could feel the heat a dozen feet across the lawn. It's self-contained enough that you feel safe letting the final coals burn out overnight, unlike a plate-style or sunken firepit, which I 'd normally douse with water prior to heading to bed.

I just roll it out from under a tree behind my garage, and it doesn't damage the grass when I have a fire in it. The next early morning, I roll it back to its storage area and my canine has full reign of the lawn again. However it's a bit too large to take anywhere you want.

Solo Stove's smaller sized pits are much simpler to move and cost hundreds of dollars less. Smaller sized Size, Same Experience, Picture: Solo Stove, The distinction in between this brand-new Yukon and the old one is size; the older model was 3 inches wider in size. Even having solely used the new 27-incher, it's easy to see why it shrunk.

It's big, hot, and probably too large for the majority of people, even in this slimmer type. That brings me to the crux of my review: The Yukon is amazing, however I 'd never ever buy one. Rather, I 'd decide for the smaller sized Bonfire or Ranger variations, which are nearly half the cost and use the exact same style in a smaller sized bundle.

Still, the engineering Solo Range put into the Yukon firepit is excellent. Given just how much delight it has actually brought my entire household, I struggle to call it pointless. It's also worth noting that firepits like this one are essentially solo stove indestructible (as long as you cover them in winter), so you're likely to get several years of excellent s'mores for your 0.
