After enjoying an easy camping meal around a warm campfire, breaking out a nostalgic dessert such as s’mores is customary to finish the night. But for those who prefer a savory snack to end their day in the great outdoors, the Buy at Solo Stove whips up batches of popcorn quickly and easily.

Solo Stove isn’t new to the scene when it comes to reinventing the fire. The company is known for creating fire pits that are virtually smokeless, from large backyard bonfire pits to portable models.

The Solo Stove Popcorn Maker takes this technology to the next level, creating a product that can evenly roast kernels without creating a lot of soot or burnt pieces. It holds up to 3 quarts, perfect for a group of hungry campers.

How exactly does the Solo Stove Popcorn Maker work? It’s simple. Add 1/3 or less of a cup of kernels; any type will do. Then add your favorite oil and salt, and place the pot on a grate above the fire. In about five minutes, you’ll have hot, fresh, perfectly cooked popcorn ready to enjoy.

The Solo Stove Popcorn Maker is designed to work safely and quickly

What makes the Solo Stove Popcorn Maker different from a regular pot? Solo Stove, in addition to implementing its low-smoke technology into the device, offers:

  • Convenient and safe pop-n-pour lid: Hot lids are a major pain point when cooking over a campfire. The Solo Stove Popcorn Maker bypasses this issue with a lid that allows you to tilt the pot sideways and release popcorn without touching the top.
  • Quick-detach handle for ultimate portability: The handle easily detaches from the pot itself, so you can perfectly pack your popcorn maker in your car.
  • Even-heating technology: The pot’s design and materiality ensure you won’t have burnt popcorn or unpopped kernels, which is especially impressive when cooking over a fire.
  • Easy to clean: After enjoying the popcorn, cleaning up is very easy. Use soap and water, and residues will easily lift off.

While the Solo Stove Popcorn Maker is perfect for trips, it’s also a great tool for home use. It works well with other Solo Stove Products and can be used on stovetops. The multifunctional benefits of this culinary tool make it well worth the investment for popcorn-loving campers.

Is the Solo Stove Popcorn Maker a good choice for your next camping trip?

Could this new tool revolutionize the camping s’more ritual, bringing popcorn out of the movie theaters and into the great outdoors? At just $50, it may be worth trying on your next camping trip to find out.

With sugar consumption declining, a popcorn maker offers a tasty yet healthy treat that’s highly customizable for any diet. Don’t eat salt? It’s easy to omit. Gluten-free? Popcorn is naturally gluten-free. Vegan? Try coconut or avocado oil instead of butter for a delicious alternative.

But what about us who still want that classic taste of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers before settling into our sleeping bags? Well, you can make s’mores popcorn to get the best of both worlds.

Empty your freshly popped popcorn into a mixing bowl using the pop-n-pour lid and follow this recipe for a taste of nostalgia. This isn’t the only way to dress up your late-night snack, and we suspect that new flavorful popcorn variations will emerge as this sleek new camping tool makes its way into the hands of camping enthusiasts.

How the Baseus PicoGo series is making travel charging less of a hassle
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Every traveller has an everyday carry, even if they don’t think of it that way. A smartphone is a given. Earbuds are almost always close by. Many people also carry a smartwatch, a tablet, a handheld gaming console or a lightweight laptop, depending on where the day takes them. The common thread isn’t the devices themselves but the expectation that they’ll always be ready when they’re needed.

Baseus believes portable charging should be just as effortless to carry as the devices people rely on every day. The PicoGo Series brings that idea to life with two products that complement each other. PicoGo Air leads the lineup with an ultra-thin, lightweight design for everyday smartphone charging, while PicoGo AM52 expands the experience with higher capacity, a built-in cable and multi-device charging for longer journeys. Together, they create a complete charging solution for travellers, outdoor enthusiasts and digital nomads.

Steep, Unscripted, and Now Olympic: Freeride’s Big Leap
Outdoors, Nature, Snow

Victor de Le Rue stood in the starting tent atop the Bec de Rosses, 10,574 feet above Verbier, Switzerland, and surveyed the terrain. After some fist bumps, he dropped into the face, with pitches from 45 to 60 degrees, where cliff bands and outcroppings mar the surface like sharks waiting to attack. A place to survive. Instead, he turned it into a playground.

After a quick drop off a narrow outcropping, he surfed through a powder field, approached a snowy ridge, and lept into a backflip with the deftness of a leopard. From there, the dance continued. A backside 360 off a cliff, slashes through wind-whipped snow, and a run-capping drop over an extended rock formation. This is freeride. At once, a demonstration of skill and creativity.
