The Full Review
The Solo Stove with grill grate occupies a fascinating niche — it's not trying to replace your Weber, but it adds a cooking dimension to an already excellent fire pit.
The smokeless technology genuinely works. Secondary combustion burns off most of the smoke before it reaches you, so you can sit around the fire without smelling like a campsite. When you add the grill grate, this same clean burn means your food gets heat without excessive smoke.
I've done steaks, burgers, and sausages on the grill grate, and the results are excellent. Wood-fired flavor with a clean burn. The cooking surface is limited, so this is a 2-4 person cooking experience.
As a patio piece, it's stunning. The stainless steel construction looks premium and the fire is mesmerizing. In Minnesota, we use our Solo Stove 9 months a year for warmth and atmosphere.
