I'm curious, what is that contraption on top of the solo stove? Is it supposed to keep the heat radiating down and close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know for sure, but that’s never stopped me from offering unsolicited opinions before…but could also be to keep a light rain/snow from reaching the fire.

It's my cheap heat deflector/radiator. Aluminum pizza pan, drilled holes and attached 16" metal table legs to it with SS bolts. About $40 materials and 30 mins labor. With a fire pit, most of the heat goes straight up. Thought this might divert some heat to the sides a bit so I could use the pit during the winter. I used an instant read thermometer and measured between 106* and 136* at my knees on my pants 16" from the fire while seated. Temp fluctuated depending on how big the fire in the pit was. Temp was about 50* at my chest. But I was comfortable in 30* and less outside temp wearing jeans and long sleeve tee shirt and winter hat. Was outside from 3pm till about 9:30pm and did put on a sweatshirt for last couple hours. As Joe guesses, it also keeps light rain or snow off the fire as long as it's not too windy. I've got a SoloStove Bonfire that is around 20" in diameter. The pizza pan I got is 24" diameter so there is a little overhang. Also got a 22" pizza pan to use as an emergency cover if it every starts raining while using it so I can keep the rain out, let it cool down, before covering it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Dickel BIB to warm up for the weekend! Light on the vitamin (less than enthusiastic about that), and exploding with honey Graham crackers and toffee (beyond delighted about that!). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I was at the grocery store this evening and happened to be looking at their version of higher end whiskies. A younger woman, maybe early to mid-30s, came up and ask if I could recommend a good bourbon. I asked how she planned to enjoy it - neat, on the rocks, in a cocktail - she told me neat. She said she wanted something with a kick so nothing low proof. I promptly walked her around to the section with OF100 and WT101 and described the flavor profiles. She was mulling them over as my wife was prompting me to get a move on. I bet she went with WT101. The color was so rich looking and the price was slightly cheaper. This made me think of what I wanted when I got home. I was originally going to go for a Turkey flight...WT101, WTR101 but decided, what the hey, it has been a hectic start to the New Year at work and it is cold outside. I opted for this instead.

Skinsfan1311 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Cracked one of these. For whatever reason, the MM101 has really been hitting all of the right marks lately. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried a dry January once an only lasted 2 1/2 weeks so I'm going with a middle ground approach. Put on some pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas so going back on hardcore keto and figure the reduced calories from bourbon reduction will help me take the weight off faster. How noble of you to take one for the team like that! Since I retired I am down to 2 AFD’s or alcohol free days per week, it was 3 AFD’s when I was working.

What do you call filled Chinese dumplings made for a guy named Big Rich? OneTons Ba-Dum-Bump…Pssshhhhh Please look for that beaut on your next wrapper of Bazooka gum… As for my whiskey this afternoon, it’s a comforting pour of Woodford Reserve. I like to have it around for times like this just past Holiday Season, when I’ve been ripping through several bottles and just needing to get back to one of the bourbons that got me started on the journey. The signature cantaloupe rind note is much less than in early years, but I can detect a bit over the palate in this bottle. Honestly, I’d like them to dial more Versailles pot still back into the mix to establish more of that house style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
