Hell yea dude. Most people would focus on the fact that it’s damaged instead of being proactive and offer a viable solution. Thank you thank you thank you!
I really appreciate that you not only shared your opinion on the product, but you addressed some of the most common concerns and solutions. BTW, I just picked up my Biolite firepit+ at Costco for $99.97 (less than $100)!
SnowPeak fire pit is far superior in my opinion. 1. No Rust 2. Superior carry bag 3. Superior durability. 4. No battery / noise 5. Can build larger fire
Best review of out the five long winded reviews I have watched. I subscribed. Will watch more of your videos right this second. Thanks! I do know they have a larger version, but I can't wait until they have a "PRO" version that includes power bank/battery charging by using the heat from the fire, like their smaller backpacking stove. Thanks again, man!
Don't hold your breath on that one. The price to get that set up for this would blow this out from a $300 setup to probably at least double so I don't think they want to do it.
Picked one up a couple weeks ago and got to use it last weekend out trailing for the day with the family. Happy to say that even on a very windy day it worked with absolutely no problem, and even didn't have to turn the fan past low. This is a great option for someone looking for a travel fire pit/grill. Got it for $200 and a military discount on top. Great review!
I bought one last year and loved it. I was using it almost every weekend. I ended up turning the battery off and letting a fire just burn in it. The heat traveled up the vents and ended up partially melting the battery and fan and now they won’t charge or work at all. I still use the body of it. I would advise that if you plan to not use the fan just take the battery pack off of it to be safe.
@@nerdflu7718 I emailed the Biolite customer service and they let me know that they couldn’t replace it because I didn’t have a warranty and the battery wasn’t defect, I just damaged it (which was true). I ended up taking it to a local computer repair shop and asked them to look at the batteries and the control board and for $20 they just gave the batteries a charge. Turns out the heat had helped drain the batteries down to nothing and the control board couldn’t work off of USB charging power so when it was plugged in it acted dead (weird design flaw I suppose). They charged it up and brought it back to life and now it is working like new. I did buy some heat reflective tap and covered the side of the fan unit in it to shield from some of the heat in the future.
Thanks! Had to watch a few videos before I finally got to this one. Love the feedback about taking it over to your friends house and that you "beat it up" and it still held up. Awesome review.
I picked mine up on their kickstarter event. Mine gets a lot of use as both a fire pit and grill and I have not had a single problem with it. Parents also love it when I set it out on the driveway for Halloween. Gives the trick or treaters a place to warm up.
Same plan here. I am hoping to put this out on the driveway for Halloween if it isn't snowing. I already have wood and just purchased supplies to make my own firestarters. I can't wait to try it out.
Good review on a unique product/solution, Jim. The maintenance tip to touch it up with high temp Rustoleum is great! People want solutions not just rag sessions or cheerleaders with pom-poms. The review is comprehensive enough, engaging, and real-world. I will be using this at tailgating on Sat's (college gamedays) and Sundays (NFL gamedays) at the newest NFL stadium parking lots in California and Nevada with my SMALL SUV to tote everything needed for a 4-hour party with HOT food!
Great review! I’ve got a Solo Stove for home but wanted something more transportable for camping. Just ordered one off the back of this. Great tip for giving it a quick paint with some stove paint every so often to keep it looking sharp!
The reviewer is on the money with using high-heat anti-rust paint. I am an early adopter and I did the same with my firepit. Only thing to add is that I used wire brush and sandpaper to clean off rust down to clean metal. THEN I spray painted. You want your paint to bond to metal and not have any rust layers trapped in there.
I have their Campstove and Campstove 2 with the grill and love them. I just purchased a cabin and was looking at the Firepit and the Solostove. I like how you can cook on the Firepit. You really can’t on the Solostove, and the Solostove is pricey for what it is.
Thanks so much. I just ordered one. I got the whole package. I camp a lot and also want it to use on the back patio of the house. Thanks for the paint tip as well.
I've had one of these sitting my garage for almost four years now I think, bought it when it first came out. I had purchased a Solo Stove Bonfire around the same time thus the reason it never has been used. I've got a smaller backyard space now and will be using the BioLight finally. After seeing this review, I'm pretty excited.
Thanks for your review and the tip on potential rusting in the future. I just bought the biolite firepit, as well as the griddle and grill cover. I am planning to start car camping on weekends here in Alaska next summer so I am buying these kind of things to get prepared. Maybe the fan sound will scare away the bears. 😄
I have had the BioLite fire pit for 4 years or more and I had it out last night showing it to people that were just amazed and how it is able to be controlled from your smartphone too and we sat around the fire pit for 4 hours, it's always been dependable for me and I've enjoyed it I have the the griddle I have the great that goes over the top if you want to do hot dogs and I have the big cover on it to use in case of any dry grass around and any sparks that pop out of it contained, I have nothing bad to say about this fire pit nothing at all.
Great review. These things are not as maintenance free as people seem to think they are. Clean it with a wire brush, then a couple of coats of high heat or automotive engine block paint every few months, and you're good.
Great review, thanks Jim! One thing that a lot of paid campsites have is sometimes there's no fires allowed unless it's contained in a container. I think I might need to pick up one of these for just in case.
The air flow is very important just like you said and there is nothing better than breakfast made over a fire. That is really cool and i like how you made your video. You gave me some ideas for my channel. Good job and keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video! I had watched others that showed the rusting, but if you can beat it up like this and just paint it then that's great. Also the sat cover is clutch! Thankfully I just saw this video 3/15/21 and the solar cover is offered anymore through biolite but I did find one. Excited to boondock this year using this great fire pit. Thanks again your reviews, they are great.
Wow, from their advertising pics and video from other reviews this thing looked A LOT bigger, some reason your footage from above makes it look smaller. It always looked like a big fire pit that you throw logs on, here it looks like the next size up from a personal backpacking stove. I kinda like it more now, hmmm,...
Really good review. I had seen another one and the information was quite incomplete. You did a great job in explaining and showing. I was curious about the sound of the fan and although it might be a little bit loud on maximum it really isn't all that bad. And it's good to see that you burned real size logs and not ones custom cut to fit. Thank you for the video.
Snagged one today at REI for $100 off the garage table. Returned because "Didn't fit into our lifestyle". Don't think they used it more than once. Certainly not a big fire. Been kicking myself for years for not backing it on Kickstarter for $150!! Then it eventually went to $250 about 6 months ago on the Biolite site . I thought the price would eventually go down and not up so I was out. I have saved $650 on my last 3 purchases over the last week because all those covid newbies decided they don't like camping!
If you leave your Webber grill out in the rain it will dissolve into a pile of rust in a few weeks. If people don't know to keep it out of the rail they should probably stay out of the woods too.
I thought the purpose of those stoves was to capture electricity from the heat for charging your stuff. I didn't realise it a camp fire forge lol I like the real purpose more than what I thought it was
Thanks for much for your excellent video! What temperature protection rating should I get in my heat protection spray? I did a bit of research and was finding that campfires can potentially get really hot, over 2000 Degrees F. The heat protection sprays available for that temperature are all automotive related. Should I just stick with the 1200 degree F protection you recommended (based on the picture of the Rustoleum bottle you displayed), or would it be worth it to use automotive 2000 degree F ones?
@@fullmoonadventureclub Thanks. Will you be posting another 6 month review next month in September to showcase how your protective paint has held up? I'm curious.
@@vicente9030 it's really something you're going to have to do every so often to replace the paint. I do have some small rust spots. But then again there is higher temperature paint out there than what I used.
We really like your videos. Very informative. My wife ask me a question about which BioLite product charges quickest, or produces the most electricity? Is it the Camp Stove 2, BioLite BaseCamp, or BioLite FirePit? Many thanks, Harold
I believe the camp stove to is the only product that actually generates its own electricity with fire. Everything else either needs a battery to be charged or can be charged on a solar panel
Nice review about the harsh use. However, this is supposedly a smokeless fire pit, yet you never mentioned once about the smoke. The evening bonfires doesn't look like there were a lot of smokes because it was dark, nonetheless, I still see smokes. I wonder how much smoke during the daylight hour with max fan speed. After all, the claim of this device is...smokeless. Try to follow instructions and burn it smokeless and see if you still keep warm at 15-degree temperature.
It's funny I did not mention that. Slipped right buy me somehow. It is absolutely smokeless. That's a huge reason I like it for small gatherings. Even wet wood can be almost smokeless on the higher speeds. It's pretty great if you have ever sat around a smoked out fire pit with the wind shifting every minute. Take care and happy camping. Jim
Can anyone advise how much burn debris shoots out of the sides? I’m looking to maybe use this in a location that has a lot of chips/mulch on the ground and I don’t want to build up a lot of charcoal/soot in the area, which seems like one advantage to the Solo Stoves...
Early adopter here. I got mine before they were even offered retail. To answer your question: No debris comes out of the sides, but I recommend getting an insulated mat for underneath if you are using it over top chips/mulch. The forced air promotes a very clean burn if you are using dry, seasoned wood. I get very little coals or ash. With green, wet wood there will be more residue for sure, but it stays inside the device and you can dump it out wherever you want after it has cooled off.
How long does a fire last until having to add wood? I wish they would come out with a model that uses wood and propane. Then you don't have to keep feeding it fuel.
It mostly depends on the type of wood you are using, and if that wood is dry. Hardwoods are dense and a 16" hunk will take a couple of hours to burn. That's what you're looking for if you want a once-an-hour fire check.
I don't think you mentioned the smoke. Or did I miss it? It looked like a lot of smoke in the video and I thought that was the main point of this thing.
Easy enough to dump out the ash but the wire mesh tends to rust so you have to repaint it with high temp paint occasionally. All in all I really do enjoy the fire pit.
I thought this was the charger but I mean I have been saying for years all fire pits need some forced air ok I have not been saying that but I have been doing it time to time
Never understand the Box opening bit or why you have to film it , i pretty much guessed it came in a Box and you had to remove it first before lighting it
I suppose the point was you could hear all that stuff in the background over the fan. Otherwise what would your reference point be for the fan noise? Jim
For me, the whole allure of biolite products was a unique way to generate electricity while camping. The blower, as long is it still can charge the battery while using, was a bonus. I saw this and was really excited that a larger version would be able to reach my energy needs to recharge phones and gps batteries reliably. I was really saddened to see that they appear to have ditched their key feature in this version.

9:15 -10:20 talks about smoke... Give it a few seconds to specifically answer your question but it's a good lead in.
Our air chamber quit and wouldn't charge after two uses.
I love mine because there is no smoke!!
can the charcoal get hot enough to use as a heater?
That's a good question. I'm afraid I don't have the answer for that one. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Jim

You don’t need to turn it on.
Would you get this over the Solo stove bonfire
I'm afraid I have no experience with a solo stove.
does it not charge thermoelectrically like the little stoves?
No, it does not. It must be charged by AC or solar. Lasts for days off a charge though.

Pretty sure it does
Not with the fire pit version

Easy enough to dump out the ash but the wire mesh tends to rust so you have to repaint it with high temp paint occasionally. All in all I really do enjoy the fire pit.
I had not seen this I had seen the small one but that is cooler
Smokeless fire is a pretty great thing. I don't know how many times I've had to circle around the fire getting smoke in my face with normal fire pits.
I thought this was the charger but I mean I have been saying for years all fire pits need some forced air ok I have not been saying that but I have been doing it time to time
The app has an issue connecting every time
Wish it was bigger
I'd like one but the price here is outrageous at $500 plus n nz
I shouldn't have to repaint a $200 fire pit. They should have used stainless steel.
Lies. It’s a rust bucket. I repainted it, and it was rusty immediately after the first fire.
i thought the fire itself heated it up and charged the battery while in use ... thought that was the whole biolight claim to fame ??
Never understand the Box opening bit or why you have to film it , i pretty much guessed it came in a Box and you had to remove it first before lighting it
7 hours on highest setting? That is not really possible
Only thing missing was actually building a fire in it ....
That wood pile inside....
That is some idot thing I would do....
So yeah
