The combo of Solo Stove, as well as Solo Pot 900, offers efficient service for long years.

Sleek & Lightweight:

When you are using a backpacking stove or thinking about buying one, one of the first features that come to our mind is that the stove must be lightweight. If we had to use a heavy model, we could always use the ones that we have own cooking station in our home in our kitchen.

So, there is no point in carrying a heavy backpack or camp stove around when we set for forest-trails or mountains-hiking or tours on the country-side. While we are looking for a stove for our outdoor needs, we are looking for something that is lightweight and this stove is exactly that type.

The Solo Stove bears 4.25-inch Diameter with a height of 3.8-inch (packed) or 5.7-inch (assembled). It weighs about 9 oz. On the other hand, the Solo Stove Pot 900 is 4.5-inch tall with a diameter of 4.7-inch. It weighs only 7.8 oz. bearing the volume-capacity of 30 Oz at maximum. 

On the whole, the Solo Stove Pot 900 Combo bears a suitable dimension (6.2 x 6 x 5.1 inches) weighing only about 1.4 pounds. This camp stove’s design is sleek and well-designed enough to make your camping experience better. You can easily carry this camp stove inside your backpack leaving enough space for other goods.

Fast Heating Performance:

We always want immediate results from our stoves. In fact, people usually become quite impatient, while camping outside. Especially, when someone has traveled for miles on foot and gets hungry, the impatience keeps no limits. Here we wanna make one thing clear that the hikers/travelers/campers don’t expect a delicious meal like Chicken Roast while they are hiking/camping around. 

During an outdoor tour, what you need is a fast solution and this product assures you receive exactly that service. It can boil water (34 fl oz) in 8 to 10 mins. From boiling to cooking, the Solo Stove Pot 900 Combo always produces a faster result which is truly commendable.

Patented Design – Green Operation:

We all care about our mother nature. As hikers, campers and outdoor activists, we should be one step ahead in loving the nature, shouldn’t we? Now think about it. We are the ones who are close to nature and if we are the same people who use stoves that smoke like a cigar, will that make sense? That will not make sense and that is why Solo Stove Pot 900 Combo is a product that nature lovers go for. 

Solo Stove Pot 900 Combo features a patented design. It includes an exclusive double wall. It makes the gasification process ultra-clean and thus leads secondary combustion. This helps to burn the fuel more efficiently resulting in less smoke. 

This Solo Stove works with natural fuel, such as leaves, pine cones, twigs, wood and many other natural elements. Therefore, buying this camp stove you don’t need to buy extra fuel canister. It not only saves your money but also saves your energy from carrying the fuel-canister.

Moreover, it saves your space in the backpack. Though there is still smoke while burning the natural fuels, the amount of smoke is so little that it does not harm the environment. That is all we want at the end of the day.

Expert Recommended – Trusted Brand:

Brand image and to be précised, the quality brand image is something that a brand cannot generate with money. A brand has to be really good to be able to generate positive outcomes and image in the minds of the consumers.
