Aldi’s Solo Stove Dupe [2023]
This year’s Belavi Smokeless Portable Fire Pit is getting a price cut and a black paint job size last year’s stainless steel version. This year’s version looks to be matte black instead of stainless steel and price has dropped to $119.99 compared to $199.99.
These portable fire pits are are meant to have a few advantages over a traditional fire pit or stove. Aldi also has a black mesh wood fire pit, Wood Burning Chiminea, a gas fire pit, or a patio heater if you need something else to stay warm outside.
The primary advantage of these types of fire pits is reduced smoke from the fire. Aldi claims “up to 70% less smoke” in the Aldi Finds Sneak Peak ad where it is featured. They do this by improving airflow and increasing the efficiency of the burning wood. These stoves generally have vents around the edge to increase airflow and burn up the small particles that would normally end up as smoke.
The next advantage is being portable. This fire pit comes with a carry case and small and light enough to carry from place to place. This is perfect for camping or RVs so you know you have a firepit wherever you go. Finally this style of firepit is raised keeping the bottom cool enough to use on most surfaces.

Solo Stove VS Belavi Stainless Steel Fire Pit
Solo Stove popularized this type of portable fire pit with a Kickstarter campaign and now they are widely sold and they now offer multiple sizes and accessories. The Belavi Portable Fire Pit is Aldi’s take on this style of fire pit and comes in just one size and includes a carry case but otherwise has no accessories. Aldi’s version is comparable to the Solo Bonfire, the best selling version of the Solo Stove.
Both the Solo Bonfire and Belavi Fire Pit have a 19.5 inch diameter and about a 14 inch height. They also both include a bag to carry your portable fire pit. The Solo Bonfire is on Amazon right now and also goes on sale from other retailers and directly from Solo Stove.
Form just looking at the pictures and descriptions online it would seem that the Belavi Portable Fire Pit and the Solo Bonfire are very similar at the base level. The Solo Bonfire is going to be more expensive than the Belavi but it has the advantage of being on the market for a while and having a pretty good reputation for quality.
The unknown for the Belavi Stove is whether or not the Solo accessories will work with the Belavi. I don’t expect Aldi to come out with accessories later on so the main chance to add any will be from solo. They are very similar so the may work but we won’t know upfront. So if you want to cook on you fire pit or get a lid, ember shield or heat deflector, it may be the safer option to get the Solo Bonfire.
Also if you are looking for a larger or smaller fire pit you will have to with a Solo Stove or other brand besides the Belavi since Aldi only offers one size.

Aldi Belavi Stainless Steel Fire Pit Reviews

Fantastic fire pit
We have a beautiful hammered copper fire pit. The smoke it out off was ridiculous. Enter the Belavi. It’s fantastic. We did a side by side comparison and there is no comparison. Our hammered copper pit will now become a planter or something else. The Belavi is the only fire pit we will ever need. Love love love it.
smokless
Started up real easy was very smokeless and cool on the bottom did not burn the grass
Awesome
This is wonderful. Easy to use and after the fire gets started it’s pretty much smoke free. The base protects the grass from being burned.
