Question 1

Is the Solo Stove Summit 27™ smokeless?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Summit 27™ uses Solo Stove’s Signature 360° Airflow Design® system to re-burn smoke before it escapes, delivering a cleaner burn with significantly less smoke than traditional wood-burning fire pits. The result is a taller, brighter flame and a more comfortable fireside experience.

Question 3

Question 5

What accessories are compatible with Summit 27™?

Accepted Answer

Summit 27™ is compatible with 27-inch (Yukon-size) accessories, including the Heat Deflector, Fire Pit Surround (Large), Lid, Shelter, Shield, and Pellet Adapter. Summit fire pits feature a lower side wall and an integrated stand, and that makes some classic pit accessories incompatible.

Will my existing Yukon Solo Stove accessories fit the Solo Summit 27™ Fire Pit?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Summit 27™ is compatible with 27-inch (Yukon-size) accessories.

Question 7

Is the Summit 27™ easy to light?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Summit 27™ features the patented Quick-Strike Cone™, part of Solo Stove’s Easy-Light ignition system. When paired with Solo Stove Fire Starter Gel™, it delivers fast, reliable starts. A small amount of startup smoke is normal and clears quickly once the fire gets going.

Question 8

Can I use wood pellets with the Summit 27™ fire pit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Summit 27™ is compatible with the Solo Stove Fire Pit Pellet Adapter. When installed correctly, the adapter allows you to burn wood pellets for a convenient, consistent fire.

Question 9

How do I clean and maintain the Summit 27™ fire pit?

Accepted Answer

After each use, allow the fire pit to cool completely. Remove the base to access the ash pan, dispose of the ashes, and wipe down the body. Over time, stainless steel may naturally develop a golden-blue patina; this is normal and does not affect performance. Use stainless-steel cleaner if you’d like to restore shine.

Question 10

What makes the Summit 27™ a smokeless fire pit

Accepted Answer

Summit 27™  uses Solo Stove’s Signature 360˚ Airflow Design ®  system to create secondary combustion that re-burns smoke before it escapes. This results in a cleaner burn with taller, brighter flames and significantly less smoke than a traditional wood fire.

Question 11

Why choose a smokeless outdoor fire pit?

Accepted Answer

A smokeless outdoor fire pit means less smoke in your face, less odor on clothes and hair, and fewer airborne particles—creating a cleaner, more comfortable, and more enjoyable fire experience.

Question 12

How do I light this easy-light fire pit?

Accepted Answer

Summit 27™ is designed for fast, reliable starts. Stack small, dry split wood so the center remains open, then use Solo Stove Fire Starter Gel™ with the Quick-Strike Base Plate™ for consistent, hassle-free ignition. A small amount of startup smoke is normal and clears quickly.

Question 13

Is the Fire Starter Gel a different formulation from the existing Solo gel fuel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s an all-new formula designed to pair with Solo Stove’s Easy-Light ignition systems. This family-friendly gel pours without splashing and delivers quick, consistent ignition without flare-ups. Solo Stove Fire Starter Gel™ can be used with any Solo Stove smokeless fire pit.

Question 14

Is the Summit 27™ able to be used without the Fire Starter Gel, or does the stove design only light with it?

Accepted Answer

Summit 27™ can be lit with or without Solo Stove Fire Starter Gel™. Traditional lighting methods work, but using the gel with the Quick-Strike Base Plate™ makes ignition easier, faster, and more consistent.

Question 15

How much wood does this smokeless fire pit take?

Accepted Answer

Start with 5-6 larger, dry split logs arranged around the Quick Strike™ Cone. Add wood gradually, keeping logs below the vent holes to maintain optimal airflow and smokeless performance.

Question 16

What kind of wood should I use in my smokeless fire pit?

Accepted Answer

Use dry, split hardwoods like oak or maple. Wet or soft woods create more smoke and reduce efficiency.

Question 17

Is the Summit 27™ a portable fire pit?

Accepted Answer

Summit 27™ is designed to live in the backyard as a larger, more permanent fire pit. While it can be repositioned once fully cooled, its size and weight make it best suited for stay-put gathering spaces.

Question 18

Can I use this smokeless fire pit on my deck?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with its integrated stand, Summit 27™ can be used on most surfaces. Decking materials vary in heat resistance, so check with your manufacturer or builder. Never leave your fire pit unattended on a combustible surface when hot, even while cooling down.

Question 19

Will my smokeless fire pit get hot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Like any stainless steel fire pit, Summit 27™ becomes extremely hot during use. Always supervise children and pets and allow it to cool fully before touching.

Can I touch the fire pit while in use?

Accepted Answer

No. Do not touch or move Summit 27™ while burning. Wait at least one hour after the fire is completely cooled before handling.

Question 21

Do I need to purchase accessories for my smokeless fire pit?

Accepted Answer
