Is a propane smart fire pit worth it over a wood-burning one?

It depends on priorities. Propane models like the Solo Stove Infinity Flame offer instant ignition and no smoke smell, which buyers praise—but high-trust r/SoloStove threads are sharply divided, with several saying the heat output doesn't justify the price versus a cheaper home-improvement-store propane bowl. Wood-burning pits deliver a more traditional fire experience.
