Bought the biggest model ‘campfire’ just before Christmas and we don’t even camp. It was an impulse buy - buy one get one free with free shipping. I sold one right away to reduce the damage to my pocket. Have not played with it yet. I even fabricated a bottom plate with small holes so it can work with pellets too.

Is your lot of sufficient size that you can use that according to municipal by-law? Or are you “smoking dirty?” 😉

I’m curious because in my own scenario, I think I need something like a 15m breadth to the lot lines and to any structures (though I’d have to ). We have a big lot by city standards, but not that big. Would really love a Solo.

Shhhh. I’ve been using a Biolite firepit with no problems yet. Neighbours on both sides are super nice.

So how much clearance do you have to the lot lines and structures? For the record, I don’t work for bylaw (but I have a good friend who prosecutes, in Toronto! 😂).

My neighbours are cool, so I could do it in theory. I think some of them run fire pits. I’ve just always been wary. 

Funny story… when I was a child, during a trip to the US, my (very small “c” conservative) parents let me buy some fireworks. Upon getting home, my father set them up in the front yard and lit the fuse. The rockets took off with a might burst and…. Our neighbours across the street arrived home and pulled into their driveway just as the fireworks were landing and had begun smouldering on their shingled roof. 😚

Fireworks on neighbors wood shake roof was pretty common around July 4 when I was growing up.  It was the dads as often as it was the kids.

Haha, it comes with cooking grid, I can convert it to a grill in a flash when fire department knocks

I think as long as you are "cooking" on your firepit, it's allowed? At least it is here in the sub-burbs of Toronto. We just keep a bag of hot dogs close by, in case the fire department pays a visit.

That seems bigger than this:

I don't recommend this. I have the bigger one with the thermometer. However, it's not that much bigger. It's portable, but still takes up too much space in my opinion. I've also had trouble with all the burners staying lit.

Sounds like you were very lucky, as were your neighbours!

Fireworks were not really readily available in my area growing up, which was probably a good thing for me and my friends. 

I played baseball for a few years as a kid. One time, as a celebration after a great game, one of the coaches had all of the kids from both teams form a circle around bottle rockets that he was setting up on the field. He stood them up straight, lit the fuse and ran back to the perimeter of the circle. As they are firing one by one, one of them fell over horizontally in the sand and now lying on the group, shot directly at the perimeter of the circle. By sheer luck, it shot directly at the coach who had set it up and it struck his chest, burning a severe patch on his shirt. Luckily, it didn’t hit him a little higher, in the face, and didn’t burn him seriously. Also knew a really nice kid growing up who was blind in one eye from a previous fireworks accident. I’ve always had a healthy respect for fireworks.

While in Florida some weeks back, we happened upon a memorial to Tyre Sampson at the base of a ride. He was a teen who slipped to his death from that very ride a few days prior. Got talking to a fighter pilot who was explaining that despite the risks that he faces in flying the world’s fastest planes, there are many rides - even at reputable theme parks in Orlando - that he just wouldn’t get onto. 

We take a lot of risks for excitement. We usually get away scot-free, but things can and do go wrong.

We have had mortar tubes fall over and shoot towards the families. That's always scary and embarrassing.

Had a very similar situation, except it was a mortar for a smaller tube that was dropped into a larger tube.  Not enough pressure to lift it, so it jumped about 4 feet out of the tube and went off. Nobody hurt, but it was close.  Very cool visual though, a flat disk of stars shooting out from the center like when you see a planet explode in a sci fi movie.

That's quite a bit better than what usually happens in April there. You could tell spring had sprung, when the drive-by counts went up. Turns out that even gangbangers don't like going out in the cold that much.

Years ago there was a kid in Maine who attempted to launch a mortar off the top of his head.  It did not go well for him, to put it mildly.  It made national news, for all the wrong reasons.

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I ended up getting a charcoal go anywhere due to price, size and cool down time.  The Hunsaker was tempting but I don’t want to deal with maintenance.  The Otzi looks great for primitive camping but is a bit small.  I’d love a PKGO (or any PK grill) but couldn’t convince myself to spend the extra cash.  Solo stoves are great too but we already take a small gas stove.

I would buy it at hobby shops. I would tape it down to the board so the fireworks were all timed to go in order. I could also send a finale using several runs of it. It worked well as it would burn through the duct tape holding it down. The fireworks were each glued down as well. Works well until a mortar blows up on the board. Then it’s a game to see how many people get injured or worse, or how many houses are set on fire. It’s a young man’s game and I won’t do it again.

I recently got a new camping grill and I’d highly recommend it but I believe it’s a sin to say the word Blackstone on this site!

Long story- its a great Grill, Highly recommend.  I would get the Q2### Series for the extra cooking surface, we generally fill it up while camping.   You can get Griddle Accessories for it  but in the past I just put a Cast Iron pan on it for Griddle needs.

One other reason I like this grill vs charcoal for camping/ events.  We are often in burn bans here in CTX and that takes open flames out of the discussion.

This weekend at a Gravel Race (3) of us had these grills, we cooked a ton of sausage and fajitas.  Later this month I'll be camping and riding and I know the burn ban will require its use.

Very nicely done my friend!

Well, he switched from BGE to Traeger.

FATC1TY

I didn’t read through, but I have a Nomad and have had it for quite some time. 

Works well, transports like a dream. I’ve used it at home, on the tailgate of my truck in the mtns, parks.. taken it to the beach, and strapped it to the back of a SxS and cooked in the middle of the woods on a trail. 

It seals up nicely, smokes and grills, has magnetic grates, can do dual sided cooking if you need space, has vents on top and bottom like an egg.. when done you can close it up and not really worry too much about heat or a fire. 

When packing it in, I can load with lump, and some starters, I take a paper towel and line the grate and it keeps it clean for transport dust. 

Downside is, it’s probably a couple bucks more than it should be, but I’ve honestly beat mine into submission and don’t care for it like someone would at that price, and my family and friends have consistently asked if I’m bringing the grill for outdoor outings away from “home”.
