The Solo Stove Yukon fire pit is a new stove that will heat up your home in the dead of winter. We tried it out for ourselves and found some great features like its convection oven, infrared burner, dual burners and warming rack.
The “smokeless fire pit” is a must have for any outdoor enthusiast. We tested out the Solo Stove Yukon and now we’re obsessed.
CNN —
Without a fire to end the night, no backyard barbeque or camping excursion is really complete. The main disadvantage of roasting s’mores or having a conversation around the fire is the smoke in your face, as well as the fact that you still smell like smoke hours after the fire has died. Enter the Solo Stove, a practically smoke-free fire pit that promises to be the solution to this issue. We were able to get our hands on Yukon, Solo Stove’s biggest fire pit, and witness for yourself how smokeless it is.
The biggest fire pit from Solo Stove, intended to provide a smoke-free fire.
We put Yukon to the test, and it proved to be a blazing hot fire pit that produced almost no smoke.
These gorgeous stainless steel fire pits are sure to have caught your eye on social media or in a friend’s garden. While the appearance of a Solo Stove distinguishes it from most other outdoor fire pits, the firm says that its 360-degree Airflow Design is what really distinguishes it.
The stainless steel fire pits from Solo Stove are double-walled. To supply a plentiful quantity of oxygen to the fire, air is forced in via the bottom of the drum as well as through the top vent holes. The “secondary burn” created by the air at the top of the fire pit enables the Solo Stove to grow very hot while emitting much less smoke than rival fire pits. This also means that whatever wood you burn will reduce to almost nothing, leaving just a little amount of ash and debris to pick up, making cleaning a breeze. When your fire is out and your Solo Stove is cool enough to handle, just flip it upside down to empty it. The airflow design is what distinguishes a Solo Stove from others.
Solo Stove began in 2011 with wood-burning stoves for traveling and camping. Ranger ($199.99), Bonfire ($254.99), and Yukon ($449.99) are three fire pits with diameters ranging from 15 to 27 inches. Because of their tiny size, the Ranger and Bonfire are both portable fire pits that come with nylon carrying bags. Solo Stove has entered the backyard fire pit market with the Yukon, the company’s biggest fire pit.

The Yukon Solo Stove 27-inch fire pit came in a single, huge carton. And, to our joy, it takes no assembly after it has been unboxed. The Solo Stove’s low-profile, simplistic design instantly drew our attention. In addition to the Yukon, we purchased the whole Backyard Bundle. The fire pit, a stand to protect whatever is beneath, a shield to catch any sparks from the flame, and a protective cover for when your Solo Stove isn’t in use are all included.
When utilizing the fire pit on certain surfaces, such as composite decking and wood, Solo Stove suggests installing a support below it. We felt comfortable utilizing both the stand and the cover during testing since the flames inside a Solo Stove are screaming hot. A stand costs $39.99 to $69.99, and a shield costs $99.99 to $199.99, depending on the fire pit you choose.
We began the fire with four pieces of kindling and then added logs. It’s vital not to overfill the fire pit with wood, according to the instructions, so that the flames remain confined inside the drum and between the top and bottom air vents.
Though we wish it were, a Solo Stove does not completely eliminate smoke. When you ignite a fire, the wood will start to smoke as it heats up to the point where it may burn through. If you’re there throughout the lighting process, you’ll be inhaling smoke until your fire reaches full temperature, which took us 20 minutes in our tests. However, once the fire is raging, you may sit around a Solo Stove practically completely smoke-free. Hot tip: Have someone else start the fire so you don’t have to deal with the smoke.
The Solo Stove added another twist with multicolored flames after an hour of smoke-free fire pit time. We added two color packs to our flames and were genuinely oohing and aahing at the sight of the color. Although the color packs claim to last an hour, we found that the color in our flames only lasted approximately 20 minutes. So, what exactly did we do? We added extra color packs since we had so much fun with it. For $19.99, you may get ten color packs.
A Solo Stove, unlike other outdoor fire pits, is not designed to be kept out in the open. It’s crucial to let your Solo Stove cool down and cover it, or take it inside someplace like your garage, if water enters the drum and affects how the fire pit performs. This is a worthwhile additional step to take, but it’s not a deal breaker for us since a Solo Stove cover can be purchased for this reason. A Solo Stove is not difficult to transport, but since they are one solid piece with no wheels, the bigger Yukon may take two persons to carry.
If you buy a Backyard or Ultimate Bundle, you’ll get a shelter (also known as a cover) for free. The shelter is composed of thicker PVC-coated polyester than your typical outdoor grill or furniture cover.
You’ll also want to plan ahead of time when you’ll stop using the fire pit since you’ll need to let the flames burn down naturally. It is not recommended that you use water to put out a fire in a Solo Stove. There was very little ash left in the Solo Stove after our backyard blaze went out. We flipped it over, emptied the ash, and then covered our campfire. Due to the lighting of the fire pit, we smelled vaguely like smoke after we were through, although it was nowhere like as strong as normal.
These incredibly unusual fire pits are made possible by the 360-degree Airflow technology found inside a Solo Stove. You don’t have to be a camping expert to appreciate — or be charmed by — how a Solo Stove fire burns. If you can’t stand the smoke from a fire pit or find yourself having outdoor bonfires on a weekly basis, a Solo Stove is a good option.
It costs $450 for a Yukon fire pit alone, and up to $800 for the Yukon Ultimate Bundle, which includes all of the extras. These are some hefty price tags, so think about how much you want to spend on a backyard fire pit. A Solo Stove, on the other hand, is well worth the investment.
Accessories like as roasting sticks, fire pit equipment, and color packs may be purchased to complete the outdoor fire experience. A countertop is not included with a Solo Stove, but a cover may be purchased to make the fire pit more practical when not in use. A Yukon Ultimate Bundle is also available, which contains everything but the lid.
