Good review I just watched it today. I ended up buy a Breeo Series Y and got it yesterday. After looking at a lot of other reviews, including your first one on the Y, I decided upon the Y. Nothing is more impressive than seeing it live at home. Personally it's a good sized unit and I love the quality of the build and the materials. One of the major differences was the fact that the Y is a tri fueled unit. The 2.0 version of the Solo is not. I met a guy who was using wood pellets with his Solo but it was the 1.0 version. The 2.0 with its finger holes in the bottom grate and the small gap around the bottom grate makes it unfriendly toward pellets. I like the idea of pellets and while some note that it's not as economical, It's nice to have another source of fuel if wood runs low or is not available. Looking at wood bundles that are sold in campgrounds the cost is about $6 a bundle. And the way these units burn wood a campground $6 bundle will be lucky to last one night. I went out today and bought heating wood pellets, (Not BBQ hardwood pellets) The cost was $6.xx for a 40 lb bag. I find that pretty economical especially since some camping locales will not let you bring wood in from home due to insect issues. Also keep in mind that heating pellets I bought at Lowes are softwood and aren't meant to be used for cooking purposes. I would also think that hardwood pellets used for cooking are chosen for the smoke they produce and the flavor they add to the BBQ or smoker process. Harwood pellets cost considerably more. Softwood pellets burn with more heat and leave noticeably less ash which is a plus for those who are not using their Breeo for cooking purposes. So I pretty much felt that the comparisons and conclusions in the video line right up with my view. I also going to purchase the carrying case and will buy the vinyl cover that will cover the Breeo when it's cool and not in use. Finally I also own an Airstream and this grill will be a knockout complement when I'm on trips.
Yeah - I forgot to mention the tri fuel stuff when I recorded this. The Breeo is just super flexible the whole way around. Gonna look awesome with your airstream!
Both are aesthetically pleasing. I have a Solo Stove Bonfire because they were more readily available. I caught a Black Friday deal that gave me a Bonfire and a Mesa for $225.00. The new pellet adapter is a deal sweetener. Wood pellets are $6.58 for 40 pounds, so I can blaze in the yard for next to nothing.
Breeo seems like the way to go for home use . For camping, the Japanese snowpeak large or xl takibi firepits with Floga smokeless attachment made from 316ss are awesome when you want a traditional fire but want to keep warm while traveling 🔥🏕️☀️🇨🇦
We just ordered a fully loaded Y series. $1280 all said and done. While that is certainly a lot, the amount of versatility the little thing has is insane. And it now being only about 30 lbs down from over 50 lets us take it anywhere we want to. Definitely recommend it. We tried a solo stove last year and ended up returning it because it just felt so flimsy in comparison to our original Breeo.
We’ve had the #SoloStove Yukon 2.0 and for the price difference that we can find them from Breeo in a similar size, we have no need to ever spend the extra for the #Breeo The Solo Stove has been long lasting and durable, with a ton of accessories. Love the fact the Breeo is made in Pennsylvania, but I’m a cheap bastard 😂. The Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 is $399 on Amazon at the time of this posting, and the Breeo of the same size is $799 for the stainless steel model lol. That’s a large difference for a fire 🔥 pit.
I would go with the solo as you can and need a heat deflector for the smokeless pits! Solo sells the much needed deflector. Forget about making a deflector if you can afford these pits purchase a selector!!!!
Someone was saying in another comparison video that Solo come with 4 Chinese language lessons. Anyone else see this? No brainer for me. I'll buy American.
Not mentioning the solo stove deflector (which combined with the bonfire is still cheaper than the breeo) is pretty disingenuous. Even if you don't find it 'visually appealing' - based on all other accounts it functions very well and means you can enjoy the Solo in cooler temps than the Breeo. Should have at least mentioned it in accessories.
Since you mentioned accessories in you comments you should have also mentioned all the Breeo ones he did not mention also because there is so many more then the other brand. Just saying.
How does the post cooking grill on the Breeo hold up if you use cast iron skillets or pots on it? Those things are very heavy, so I would wonder if it flexes or bends over time. Thanks!
Well I bought mine from Breeos website. There were plenty of similar and other complaints, but Breeo on their youtube channel deletes negative feedback. That's nothing they want. Same with most affiliates who are sponsored and get free Breeos for "honest" reviews. Good luck
@@hkun-su2opyou are apparently a schill for some other brand. No legitimate comment on Breeo could indicate it is anything other than well made with durable materials. The only knock on the Breeo is that it’s expensive.
It's a No-Brainer... The SOLO STOVE *RANGER* model....smallest fire pit option, sold the most than any other Firepits on market. PRO = lightweight at 15 lbs ..

Made in the USA. You had me sold after that. Now more than ever folks need to strive for that
unfortunately not available over the great puddle.

Two things
1) thanks for the breakdown on the heating pellets I like that idea
2) that setup is going to look very cool with your airstream.

Lifetime warranty on the Solo!

I would hope the Breeo is nicer it costs twice as much.
@@fishepa it's funny when people think something weighs more is more durable. I want lightweight but stands the elements.
Hands down that Breeo will out last a solo stove. They are proud of their product and should be!! Best fire pit I've ever used (Breeo x30).
Thank you so very much we appreciate the information.

maybe to support American jobs?
@@pejisan My family will always come first. I'll buy it here when #Breeo can sell it at a comparable price, not $400ish dollars more.
What about solo stove deflectors, does that help with the heat on cold night?
Watch smoking dad bbq...he did a test with hanging fry pans and the deflector made a huge difference!
Yeah, they help, but in my opinion it changes the look of the whole thing in a way that I don’t find visually appealing.
Thanks for the video - can these things be used on composite terrasse panel like wood/bamboo composites? (having the stand)
I would go with the solo as you can and need a heat deflector for the smokeless pits! Solo sells the much needed deflector. Forget about making a deflector if you can afford these pits purchase a selector!!!!
Awesome review! Just in time for the fall
Thanks man! I agree - fire pit season for sure.
Great video
Thanks!
bonfire 2.0 costs $315 and breeo Y is $500 in Canada. the price gap is.....HUGE.
Someone was saying in another comparison video that Solo come with 4 Chinese language lessons. Anyone else see this? No brainer for me. I'll buy American.
Nice 👍🏻
Starts at 2:12
Super helpful video and the comparisons, I think are spot on. I agree with all points and overall the Breeo would be my choice as well.
That new Breeo is pretty sweet
"AMICUS" smashes both of those fire pits combined, combined I said!
Not mentioning the solo stove deflector (which combined with the bonfire is still cheaper than the breeo) is pretty disingenuous. Even if you don't find it 'visually appealing' - based on all other accounts it functions very well and means you can enjoy the Solo in cooler temps than the Breeo.

You sound like a solo fanboy
Since you mentioned accessories in you comments you should have also mentioned all the Breeo ones he did not mention also because there is so many more then the other brand. Just saying.
Breeo is made in the USA. So of course it is going to be more expensive. That being the said the Breeo is more durable and has more longevity.
How does the post cooking grill on the Breeo hold up if you use cast iron skillets or pots on it? Those things are very heavy, so I would wonder if it flexes or bends over time. Thanks!
It’s a pretty solid connection. If you put the weight close to the support bar, that helps
It should be noted Solo is also made in India
Interesting - didn’t know that.
China I’m told.
@@dennismccallister1546 as I said India and China
Consider the following when buying:
Solo Stove - made in China
Breeo - made in USA (Pennsylvania)
Breeo attachments look more verstile
Buy USA is awesome. I am asking Breeo if they offer U.S military discount. I am hoping so
Yes, they do.
Height, not heighth. You are anuncuiating that H unnecessarily. Great videos. Thank you.
My southern is showing
Annunciating, and although barely used Heighth is acceptable. I would never use it, but I did look it up!
Haha
The Y is a flimsy piece of shit. I regret buying it. Problem is I can't send it back, because I took it overseas before unpacking.
no one else is making this complaint. Sounds like you bought a knock off
Well I bought mine from Breeos website. There were plenty of similar and other complaints, but Breeo on their youtube channel deletes negative feedback. That's nothing they want. Same with most affiliates who are sponsored and get free Breeos for "honest" reviews. Good luck

Solo Stove for me! U.S. can’t compare to China’s manufacturing anymore
Which of course us why my solo stove rusted last year after 1 day and getting wet in a thunderstorm, and Solo would not stand behind it, pure junk
