KnockOFF Solo Stoves From WALMART 

You’re welcome! I want them to make a smaller version cause this one is a little big. Thanks for watching

I just saw a smaller one on Walmart site for $39.00 7"

Yes they do have a smaller one. I saw one in the camping aisle. I think it was $39. No brainer

Yeah they sell both on the site.

Ohuhu and other chinese brands make smaller versions that work quite well (also SS) and which typically range from around 15 to 25 dollars.

Bro exactly! People bash their gear but for under a hundred bucks it got you out and camping!!!! That’s awesome. Thanks for watching

I have the same stove and it's great! Used it probably 40 times no issues.

Did you make it from my diy $10 solo stove video? Thanks for watching

I have gasification

@@AdventureswithSpackmann wow I guess I did. I didn’t realize it was your video lol. I just rewatched it right now. I used yours for inspiration, and I took a slightly different approach. I used a dremel cut-off wheel and it made the holes on the vertical walls way faster.

@ViralChubb lol nice!

Heck yeah! True and sad. Bushbuddy is still around but solo total stole their thunder. Thanks for watching

@@AdventureswithSpackmann The guys at Bushbuddy should have gone bigger. They stayed very small and because of that have a turn over of 8 months! So I understand why some people goes for Solo. But if walmart has them now too, then I'll buy from Walmart just to frustrate Solo from getting my money :)

@@DiabloOutdoors lol heck yeah

This exactly. Eff Solo Stove.

It's just a wood gasifier. They've been around since the 19th century....

I’ve actually been thinking about making one of those! Great idea. Thanks for watching

I do too! Mine was sitting off to the left in this video. Showed it off last week. I’m shocked how well they work and how well it’s holding up. Thanks for watching

2 years out of a dryer drum.

@@mrmicro22 nice! Any idea how a dryer drum compares to a washer drum? I’m currently using a washer drum. How’s the dryer one holding up after two years? Thanks for watching

I spent 2 hours with an air hammer putting holes in a dryer drum. I also burn 2 washer drums. My dryer drum burns much hotter, faster, and gets secondary burns going much better than my washer drums. I heat with fire wood and burn all my bark in my drums every fall into winter. Going on 2 years on my dryer drum but it's pretty rusty and almost burned out. Burn all 3 and sit/stand in the middle of the triangle and it's the perfect spot! Havent lit my firepit since I started making these 2 years ago! I have also made many more for friends and family........so many free washers and dryers on craigslist

A burning triangle of fire! That’s awesome. Thanks for letting me know your experience with the drums. Thanks for watching

The pot supports are flush with the hinges when flipped in and add no more room for support. Stick for removing and placing the pot is a great idea. Thanks for watching

Definitely hot enough to cook lol. Thanks for watching

Enjoy. Thanks for watching

I’ve made a few gasifiers too. Never out of something as big as stock pots but smaller ones. I can see what you mean by the bottom not getting hot and radiating heat. Yup, burn pattern is so cool! Thanks for watching

If you (scuff up and) spray paint the outside of the inner SS stock pot and the inside and outside of the outer SS stock pot with high heat paint (the color doesn't actually matter much--that is misconception i.e. you don't *need* black), the IR will pass through much better. Shiny metal surfaces are good at reflecting IR. (Technically, you only really need to scuff up/paint the surfaces facing the heat source). The double wall on the other hand, does slightly increase the thermal insulation via reducing conduction and convection (the air layer in between is an insulator), so these won't ever give off as much heat as a single layer burner. But this is not as much as one might think, because once temps reach near 300 C/572 F, regular thermal conduction of air greatly increases and most of the heat tranfer or blocking will be via IR. * The paint will improve the heating of the metal significantly. Personally, the fuller and cleaner burn of these is worth the trade off of slightly less less radiant heat (once scuffed and paint treated). * To drive home this interesting principle, some researchers took wood and coated it with a special, highly efficient IR reflecting and very high heat coating (contains mostly zirconium oxide), and turned it into a working forge. You could touch the outside of the wood while it was running full blast and it would only feel slightly warm. I don't know if the rest of the wood was treated with fire retardants or not though (such as soaking it in a borax and boric acid solution, or the like).

@@justinw1765 awesome suggestion and comment! Thanks for the information.

@@btrswt35 You're very welcome.

@btrswt35 take an old stainless or steel lid for a pot, remove the handle and weld 3 or 4 support legs (2.5 -4" tall) onto it that fit in the flat spots of the "fire ring". This makes a heat diffuser that eliminates the issue of using them for heat and not getting enough heat. Solo sells em, but for nearly the same price the fire pit base costs😅.

Make a video on making one? Bonfire size or camp cooking size? I’ve shown both actually. Bonfire size is wicked easy with a cloths washer drum. You don’t need to do anything to it. Camp size I made out of a double wall thermos. It worked well and I gave it away in a giveaway. Thanks for watching

Yeah they are man. And I agree, I’m liking the new scenery. Thanks for watching

Awesome! Great feedback. Thanks for watching

How long you've been burning via it? I also burn often, and already burned through two solo stove, one maybe last about 100 burns only.

@@jayjiang probably 50 times on this stove. I don’t leave it outside very often when raining or anything though. Other than soot and discoloration it looks as good as new.

So glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

Heck yeah! It’s a sweet stove. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching

Thank you bro!

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the kind words and for watching

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching

You’re welcome! Have a fantastic week too. Thanks for watching

Nice! Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for watching

You’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

Heck yeah man. You got Walmart over there? Thanks for watching

@@AdventureswithSpackmann unfortunately not, they did join with ASDA and we had some really cool stuff during that time but they broke away almost 10 years ago and products slipped

@@chriscjjones8182 darn

Oh that’s a great point. They aren’t always smokeless but for the most part they are. Thanks for watching

So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for subscribing. Last weeks video was hilarious in my opinion. You should check it out. lol. Thanks for watching

Oh yeah it’s great for limited space. You’re welcome and thanks for watching

Nice! Thanks for watching

Lol DIYing is always the way to go but right, can’t beat that price lol. Glad you liked the intro. How do you like the phrase, “worth the money or if the product’s just funny” ? Thanks for watching bro

@@AdventureswithSpackmann I definitely think you should use that line whenever you're doing a product review from now on 👌 It'd be your signature catch-phrase 👍 Always a pleasure by the way bro!

With the amount of SS involved, it would be hard to DIY it for significantly cheaper than what they cost. Sure, one can use things like soup cans (for the smaller one) and metal trash cans (for the larger), but the non stainless steel of these, rusts out pretty quick when exposed to these high temps. You can line them with refractory cement to prolong the life of these cheap steels, and get a better burn due to increased insulation. And really only the inner metal needs to be protected. The outer metal doesn't get exposed to high enough temps to super oxidize it. A cheaper and lighter option is to spray the inner metal with very high heat paint once in a while--this prolongs its life some as well.

@@justinw1765 Some great points right there my friend. It would be incredibly difficult indeed to build a DIY SS version of these on the cheap (without a bit of creativity at least). These are some pretty sweet stoves... especially considering their price point. I like your thinking/ideas on making a DIY version longer lasting by the way 👍

@@IntenseAngler Cheers

Yw. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

Welcome to the burn counters my friend! Thanks for watching

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

Nice! Which size? Thanks for watching

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching

Oh the whole kit is cool. A full backyard bbq setup. Thanks for watching

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

It peaked my interest for sure. As for the insurance, that’s not nice to hear lol. If I do find out how it is, I hope I have a good experience. Thanks for watching

Nothing like paying 10 dollars so you can wait in a Hugh line and argue with an WalMart employee.

@Moondoggy1941 lol oh what fun that is. Thanks for watching

Walmart issuances kind of sucks, usually only can use it once the company product warranty expires, and sometimes they make sure you actually contacted the company one what process to go through before hand. When i bought couple of tv and electronic a fellow worker said it wasn't worth it, just so many steps to go through and just easy money grab. Sometimes Walmart wont even take issuance if you don't have the insurance paper receipt from the time you bought the product. Walmart is just hoping customers lose that paper, so they can get the extra cash.

@@Varnage Some stores would sell you the product, they would have all of the information, you would buy the warranty, they would never tell you, that YOU had to register it or it would not be covered, yet they have all the information, and I would get arrested for theft, but not them.

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

Awesome to hear! Glad you like it. Thanks for watching

Glad you liked it! Welcome to the channel. There are some good videos here lol. Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

For sure! Thanks for watching

Solid feedback! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yes getting them going at first is an experiment for sure. Thanks for watching

Yup or two tent stakes. Anything going across the top. Thanks for watching

Lol burn counts for win! Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

I got the smaller one after watching this.I like it.@@AdventureswithSpackmann

I don’t think you will be disappointed considering the price of them. Glad you enjoyed. Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching

well if anything solo stove "Stole" the design from another person that called their version "the bushbuddy" which they then patented their "Design" basically making their "success" a scummy one at that so don't feel like you need to buy the name brand.

@@Horde334 for sure. I only used solo stove to compare it cause no one knows the bushbuddy unfortunately. Thanks for watching

I’m happy with most of their gear too! Thanks for watching

Which one did you get? Thanks for watching

I was thinking the same thing with the big one when I was sitting around it. Thanks for watching

Can’t wait to hear your count lol. Thanks for watching

You’re welcome, thanks for watching

For the price I had to try them. I’m fresh out of aloe lol. Thanks for watching

For real, so expensive. Everything is these days. Thanks for watching

They aren’t bad for the price. Thanks for watching

They are pretty sweet for the money! Thanks for watching

Thanks bro!

That’s awesome. I have a couple like that one. Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

They are pretty sweet. Thanks for watching

Lol I hear ya! Thanks for watching

Collapsible right? I have a couple collapsible ones too. Thanks for watching

Lol burns are fun! Thanks for watching bro

@@AdventureswithSpackmann lol! You are very welcome my friend

I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for watching

Thanks!

Heck yeah. Thanks for watching

Right! Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching

Lol I brought the drip maker out just for you. I forgot it on my last trip so I used a beer can to make coffee. Lol I was expecting myself to grab it a second time too. Thanks for watching.

You can use pellets. If the holes are too small you may need to add a bottom plate to stop them from falling through. Thanks for watching

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for subscribing. Prepping is great. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Hope you enjoy them. Thanks for watching

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

I hear that. As for tents, I’ve used several for many many years and always recommend using a tarp but I say the same for any tent. Their instant tents are so cool. Thanks for watching

For the price, heck yeah . Thanks for watching

The small table top one? Thanks for watching

@@AdventureswithSpackmann yeah. Works great on pellets. It was a pain to keep it fed with kindling

@@OutdoorTherapyYT I could imagine it was.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

Right! I’ve been eyeing them for years too. But price always made me say no. I agree I won’t be putting it in my pack either. Oh for handing out candy to sit around, that’s a great idea. Pack it away when you’re done. Thanks for watching

Nice! They ain’t bad for the price. Thanks for watching

So glad you think so. Thanks for watching

Nice! How long have you guys been off grid? What do you stay in? Thanks for watching

Lmao holy cow! Just googled it and you’re right. Smokey the Bear comes from the song but his name is Smokey Bear lol. Glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for watching

Wow, crazy. How’s it holding up? Thanks for watching

@@AdventureswithSpackmann Still unused. It's for SHTF.

​@WhatDadIsUpTo usually, people will test out their SHTF kit before packing it away.

I have that stove as well. Good little stove. Thanks for watching

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

Amen brother! You’re welcome and thanks for watching

I have the solo stoves and fire pits and Love them. I think it’s a stretch to call them crooks for pricing their product the way they have. Their quality and customer service is amazing. The beauty of an open market is there can be vendors who can be more competitive and market their version through various changes from the original (Suppliers, labor force, raw materials, etc). I’m not mad at them for that and we get more options.

@@rosapdl great points. If it cost them more to make they have to charge more right. Thanks for watching

It was a big flame. Not sure if that was too much air or too much material. Great points. Thanks for watching

I have a lot of OT gear that are my primary equipment. Including a cooler too lol. Thanks for watching

That is a great price! I think I saw them in store for $100! Nice find. Thanks for watching

Bet they are very close. Thanks for watching

Don’t let my video stop you. Make your video! Thanks for watching

Lmao no doubt I got dirtier on the floor. Thanks for watching

Thanks bro!

@@AdventureswithSpackmann my pleasure

Right bro! Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed. But I do have sponsored videos. I’m as honest in those as I am in every other one. My two latest inflatable hot tent videos were sponsored and I was completely honest with how the tents are. Go check them out lol. Thanks for watching

Don't crap on the sponsors. They're a necessary evil otherwise it wouldn't be worth anyone's time doing these videos. Ppl have jobs and families. If you have no sponsors, then we don't get these videos.

@@sg5587 heck yeah, I take every sponsorship I can. Keep them all honest. Thanks for watching

Nice, thanks for watching

lol good idea. Thanks for watching

A few people have mentioned the Breeo. Thanks for watching
