I have the same reservations about cooking on the Breeo lip, but their "Outpost" adjustable rack, toy version of my neighbor's Argentinian grill, is a great idea.
To me the Breeo design is more cluttered, with stuff in the way I don't want, making it harder to put on a cart. The Solo Stove is stripped down form = function, and I find it beautiful.
I really like grilling on the Solo Stove Ranger, it has become my primary grill. 30 second lighting protocol is wood chunks bottom layer, then charcoal next layer, pour on isopropyl alcohol, don hearing protection or vow to use less next time, drop in a match. !! Pong !! Then shooting flames till everything is lit, and the wood chunks burn to start the charcoal. No further tending necessary till time to cook. Though it's barely big enough for two.
The issue here is waiting till the fire dies down to cook. I've ordered a separate Outpost 19 which I plan to attach somehow to my $50 Harbor Fright barbecue cart, so I can begin grilling when the fire is too hot.
I've also ordered some over-the-top barbecue skewers, Original Super Skewers hand made in Salem, Oregon where our daughter now lives. Heavy duty double skewers, for stability and to conduct heat into the chunks. We've been making satay and tandoor more frequently again, and I finally see the point of good skewers rather than a grill grate.
Ooh! Ooh! I saw that too. I had been searching for years for a high tech version of the Weber, this could be it. Though I prefer the smaller scale of a Solo Stove, more efficient use of charcoal. I doubt that this grill funnels skyward a "the party's here!" searchlight of radiant heat and rising hot air as well as the fire pits do. The fire pits are taller than they are wide. This is wider than it is tall.
Though Solo Stove understands this. Their fire pits are too hot for grilling, then a narrow ideal window, then great slower grilling few of us have patience for. They've tried to tune this here. That's exactly why I ordered the Breeo Outpost, an alternate solution to the same problem. Fire too hot, don't want to wait? Cook further from the fire.
I almost impulse bought one, but it's too big. Solo Stoves work best when the fire is scaled to the stove, and I have expensive tastes in charcoal. For example, I bought my own palette of KK coffee lump.
In other news, I ordered box of Pok Pok Thaan Thai Style Charcoal as described in
Acclaimed Chefs and Amateur Grillers Swear by This ‘Mind-Blowing’ Charcoal
It's very much in the style of KK extruded coconut, though I expect a different flavor profile. I'll report back once I try it; it just came.
