So far I don't think we've seen any posts from Solo Stove owners who didn't like theirs. That's about what I expected.
I've camped in places that restricted real fires because of the mess and not for fire safety. We've used the propane pits and they're a nice way to create some light to see people's faces and a campfire effect, but they don't do much at all for warmth.
Everything has its pros & cons. You can use the propane pits practically anywhere, but they don't provide much heat unless you're pretty much right on top of it. I've seen pictures lately of people adding a disk shaped canopy a few feet above the flames to catch some of the heat and radiate it out to the crowd. This makes sense, but it also seems like that canopy could turn into a sail in more than a light breeze, which would be bad times for whoever is sitting downwind and ends up with the pit in their lap.
The Solo pits are kind of expensive. The flames are somewhat contained by the tub once it burns down below the top, unless you keep feeding it more wood. The warmth is great though, they don't smoke as much, and the cleanup is simple.
Different strokes.
