"Solo introduced its first fire pit in 2016, but in 2020 it became the 'must-have pandemic item,' writes Patrick Sauer for Fast Company, noting its relative smokelessness and ease of cleanup as well as the cultural associations of gathering around a hot fire. Solo’s sales reportedly grew 235 percent from 2019 to 2020, and the portable fire pit industry as a whole saw a huge boom around the same time." - Jaya Saxena
