Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 vs Breeo X Series 24
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Fire Pits: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 wins for most patios because it delivers the cleanest wood burn with the least weight and the easiest cleanup. Step up to the Breeo X Series 24 if you want a permanent, cook-over-it fixture and don't mind the heft or the price.
Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0
Buy itThe smokeless wood-burning pit that gets the balance of size, weight, and clean burn right for most patios.
- Double-wall 360-degree airflow delivers a genuinely low-smoke burn once it's up to temperature
- Light enough for one person to move or store off-season
- The 2.0 update adds a removable base plate and ash pan, so cleanup is a tip-and-empty job
- Stainless steel build and a warranty backed by the maker
- Radiant heat is modest - it warms a close circle, not a whole patio
- Cooking needs extra accessories that add up quickly
Breeo X Series 24
Buy itA heavy, American-made smokeless pit built to cook on and last decades - if you never plan to move it.
- Heavy-gauge 304 stainless or corten steel construction built for long life
- Purpose-built for live-fire cooking with the Outpost grate - burgers, cast iron, even a whole chicken
- Secondary combustion produces a clean, tall flame with little smoke
- Made in Pennsylvania with a limited lifetime warranty
- Weighs over 60 pounds, so it is realistically a two-person lift and a permanent fixture
- Premium price, and cooking accessories push it higher
