![]() In particular their grill and pizza oven. I’ve since used Solo Stove’s cooking accessories. Especially if instead of cooking over flames, you burn down logs to coals and then begin the cooking process. I found cooking over the solo stove a lot like cooking over any wood-burning fire pit. I boiled water and toasted bread to test both ends of the fire cooking spectrum-heat and finesse. I initially used the grate off my charcoal grill, which happened to fit the Solo Stove perfectly. The next test was to see how easy it is to cook over the Solo Stove. The bottom of the Solo remains cool as a fire burns, and gets hotter toward the top. So, it’s best not to touch the upper half of the stove when you have a fire going. The temp jumped to 230 degrees at the top of the stove. The bottom remained cool around 70 degrees, and the temperature in the middle of the stove was about 120 degrees. I then used a laser thermometer to measure the Solo Stove’s exterior temperature. The key to the Solo Stove’s smokeless quality is that it burns very efficiently, so it quickly turned the leaves to ash and burned the green wood.Īnother question I wanted to answer was: Does the outside of the Solo Stove get hot? I got a fire going and let it burn for 30 minutes. With that combo, I created a smokey fire, but it didn’t last long. But, I wanted to push the envelope and kick up some smoke using green wood and leaves. It provides a smoke-free fire experience. If they didn’t I wouldn’t have chosen the Yukon as the best smokeless fire pit. Then, as the fire burns down, you’ll have a little smoke. If you’re using seasoned firewood, you’ll get smoke when you start your fire, but you’ll have a smoke-free fire once it gets going. The first was to test the smokeless claims. I decided conduct a series of tests for my Solo Stove review to answer some of the common questions and concerns people have about these fire pits. There was minimal smoke, and because it burns so efficiently, there’s very little ash or debris to clean out. Under those conditions, it performed as advertised. I use seasoned hardwood logs and the occasional Duraflame when I’m out of firewood. But, we enjoyed it so much this summer that I decided to review the Yukon. ![]() I bought it as a birthday gift for my wife. I didn’t get a Solo Stove to do a review.

The second accessory is the Solo Stove Stand, which elevates the fire pit so you can use it on heat-sensitive surfaces like a deck. The first is a rain cover, which they call Shelters. There are two key Solo Stove accessories you should consider. It’s just 15 pounds, 12.5 inches tall, and 15 inches wide. The Ranger is the smallest size and is a good option if you need a portable fire pit. The medium size, called the Bonfire, only fits logs up to 16-inches long. ![]() The Yukon is the largest, and it’s the one I’d recommend if you want a permanent fire pit. The air comes up through holes in the base of the pit, as well as through holes at the top. The lack of oxygen and the rising hot air created by the fire pulls air through the bottom vents, bringing more oxygen into the fire pit. The Solo Stove Yukon is designed to promote airflow, which creates a more efficient burn and less smoke.
