Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit with Stand 2.0

The Solo Stove Bonfire has topped our firepit review through several rounds of testing thanks to its smokeless burn and simple setup. We appreciated its clean, odorless fire, and thought cleanup was easy due to the removable base plate and ash pan. I enjoy smokeless firepit nights with my own Solo Stove, and this year, I’m thinking it’ll make a great housewarming gift for my friend who loves to roast s’mores but hates having to move every two seconds when the wind changes direction.

It packs up to the size of a small briefcase and has an easily adjustable flame so you can achieve the perfect sear. Plus, the auto-ignition feature means you don't have to fuss around with matches to light the burner.

I learned early on in my camping journey that it’s best to have separate cookware, dishware, and utensils. While I’ve sworn by my cast iron skillet for years, I’m often tempted by newer camp cookware like this Gsi Outdoors frying pan and collapsible pot that's 46% off.

Big Agnes Big Six Armchair

I must admit that a few of my camp chairs are starting to look downright sad. Some have holes in the fabric and others have disintegrating, rusty legs. This Big Agnes chair has been on my radar for a long time since it packs up into a compact package yet offers comfort along with two cup holders.
