The Yukon works great as a center piece to any backyard.
No, your fire pit is ready to use with just wood. However, we do offer several accessories to make your experience even better. Check out our accessories here: https://www.solostove.com/fire-pit-accessories.
The Yukon was not designed with cooking as the main objective. The Yukon is meant to be used as a backyard fire feature. That said, feel free to break out the marshmallows or hot dogs on a stick!
The Solo Stove Lite, Titan and Campfire are more portable backpacking and camping stoves meant for cooking. The Ranger is the most portable of our backyard fire pits and was designed to accommodate larger groups who enjoy sitting around a beautiful, smoke free flame.
Any firewood logs will burn but for optimum efficiency we recommend dry hard woods. Hardwoods such as birch, maple, hickory and oak will burn longer than softwoods.
We recommend using 6-8 average size logs. Don't overfill your Yukon. Once you have a hot bed of embers, you can always throw on more logs. To minimize smoke and optimize your flame, don't fill the wood above the holes at the top of the fire pit.
After your Yukon is cool, turn it upside down to empty any remaining ashes left in your fire pit. We recommend that you always cover your Yukon when it's not in use. It's that easy!
YES! Do not touch any part of the Yukon when in use. It will be extremely hot. Children should always be under parental supervision when around the Ranger. Use common sense and treat the Yukon like any other fire.
Yes, however we recommend 4-6 inches of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.
