A thread in "The Woodshed" started to veer off about the Solo stove. I noticed a respondent to the Feb2018 thread is now a Solo Stove owner.
I thought it'd be interesting to hear more about the Solo fire pit. I've been tempted and still am. Thoughts?
Here are some quotes from the aforementioned "Woodshed" thread:

How smokeless is that fire pit? Couldnt you just cut some holes in the bottom of a 50 gal drum and put in a grate a few inches up and cut the top of the drum off? Or maybe an old washing machine drum? $300 seems like a lot for essentially a modified 50 gal drum, or am I missing something?
SpaceBus said: You could do that, but it would still look like a hobo barrel. It's as smokeless as your wood stove. It's actually nice when the wind shifts and blows towards you, more heat! The stainless looks nice and should never rust. I still keep it covered when I don't use it. I wish it had a domed screen for sparks, but that only really happens with pallet wood, which burns way too fast anyway. My wife felt the same way as you, but after using it yesterday evening she likes it. There's also no ashy mess to clean up. They are expensive, but very convenient.
