Solo Stove Fire Pit 2.0 Tested By Bob Vila
Product Information
Solo Stove Fire Pits 2.0 is an outdoor fire pit designed to provide a smokeless and efficient fire experience. It features a unique double-wall airflow system that promotes secondary combustion, resulting in a clean- burning and smokeless flame. The fire pit is made of durable stainless steel, which can withstand high temperatures and resist rust. The package comes with a nested flame ring, ash pan, and base plate.
Product Usage Instructions
- Unwrap your Solo Stove fire pit and remove the nested flame ring. Set it aside.
- Remove all packaging and items inside the fire pit, including the ash pan and base plate.
- Position the ash pan in the bottom center of the fire pit. Place the base plate in the center of the fire pit until it nests above the ash pan. Install the base plate with the dome pointed up.
- Start to build your fire by placing your tinder, kindling, and small wood pieces in the center of the fire pit. Do not overfill with wood that covers or extends above the upper vent holes.
- Light your fire.
- Place the flame ring back on top of the fire pit with the angled edges pointing upward. This will provide protection from the wind and enhance the look of the flames.
- As your ember bed gets hotter, start adding in 1-3 pieces of wood. As that catch, add enough wood to fill the burn chamber.
- When you’re ready to call it a night, let the fire pit burn out on its own.
Care and Use Instructions
Proper care and maintenance of your Solo Stove Fire Pit 2.0 will ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
First Use
When you first use your fire pit, the unique double-wall airflow within the
unit will take approximately 5-15 minutes to achieve full efficiency. The more
evenly your fire burns inside your fire pit, the more prominent the flame
pattern showing the secondary combustion will appear.
Ash Removal
- Empty the ashes after every fire to maintain optimal airflow and smokeless flames.
- When the fire pit has completely cooled, brush the remaining ashes on the base plate into the holes to collect in the ash pan below.
- Lift the removable base plate with two fingers and a thumb using the two center holes to access the ash pan.
- Lift the ash pan out of the burn chamber and dispose of the ashes responsibly.
- Clear all remaining debris, ash, and other particles from the burn chamber before replacing the ash pan.
- Replace the base plate on top of the ash pan with the domed side pointed up.
Storage
Store your Solo Stove Fire Pit 2.0 in a dry and covered area when not in
use to prevent rust and damage.
Patina
Due to extremely high temperatures, discoloration of the fire pit will
occur and is considered normal. Stainless steel has an increased resistance to
rust; however, it is not rust-proof.
Firewood
For best results, use dried and split hardwoods. Kiln-dried oak and juniper
are excellent options. Overfilling your fire pit above the upper vent holes
will decrease efficiency and produce more smoke.

It’s important to keep rain and snow out of your fire pit. Solo Stove Shelter
is a great cover option and can be purchased separately for all fire pits. For
Ranger and Bonfire, you can also use the carrying case included with your
purchase. Prolonged exposure to moisture may result in increased staining or
rusting. Due to extremely high temperatures inside, the fire pit may show
signs of staining/rust. This is normal and will not affect normal use.
Prolonged exposure to harsh weather will increase rust and discoloration.
