Frequently asked questions

The Solo Stove Lite utilizes a unique air intake system that allows for hotter combustion and less smoke. It operates on the principle of gassification and a secondary combustion process, where air intake holes at the bottom pull air in towards the fuel source, wood, causing a more efficient and hotter burn. This process also burns off the smoke before it can escape the stove, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient fire.

The Solo Stove Lite is designed to use twigs, leaves, pinecones, and wood as its fuel source. This makes it highly sustainable for outdoor activities as you can use readily available materials instead of carrying fuel.

Yes, the Solo Stove Lite is extremely portable. It's compact, measuring just 4.2 inches tall, and lightweight at only 9 ounces. This makes it an excellent choice for backpacking, camping, or any outdoor activity where space and weight are considerations.

Absolutely! The Solo Stove Lite is not just for boiling water; it's also suitable for cooking. Its design allows for a stable platform for pots and pans, and the intense heat generated by the wood fuel means you can cook meals efficiently outdoors.

Very Happy Customer
As is my experience with ordering from Amazon, my stove arrived promptly and in good condition. My first surprise was that the Solo Stove was not shipped in an oversized box with lots of protective packing. The stove was shipped in a box just large enough for the stove with no extra protective packing. Frankly I was impressed that the manufacturer had enough faith in the quality of construction of the stove to ship without lots of protective packing. After unpacking and inspecting the Solo Stove, I found that the quality of construction exceeded my expectations. We have been able to use the stove backpacking for 2 weekends as well as to make several meals in the back yard. We are very happy with the Solo Stove. The stove is easy to light, burns hot and relatively clean, especially with dry hard wood. Since the stove is very efficient, it is easy even in wet weather to find more than enough dry fuel even in wet weather. We have tried the stove with various camping and backpacking pots and pans, and have found the pot stand to be adequately stable. The only pan we didn't feel comfortable stability wise was our GSI Wok due to its small diameter flat bottom. I will probably fabricate a stainless hardware cloth stand for use with the Wok. The Solo Stove worked well as a pot stand for my soda can alcohol stove and by flipping the soda can stove I can cook with Esbit tabs. I like having alternative sources of fuel for cooking in areas where burning wood is an issue. We are very happy with the Solo Stove and expect it to last many years. I plan to retire our Zip stove and the Solo Stove will be my primary wood burning pack stove. I would definitely recommend the Solo Stove to a friend or relative. Update: Well I am adding a review of my newest and third solo stove since Amazon wont let me add a separate review of the new stove. ------------------------------------------------------- I still am very happy with my first Solo Stove and immediately got one for my son. The subject of this review is actually our third original Solo Stove. We keep a Solo Stove in both my wife's car and my pick-up. I decided a it would be handy to have a third stove so we didn't have to pull one from one of the vehicles when we went somewhere with the bikes, kayaking or backpacking. Having three stoves may sound excessive, but my wife and I are retired, and don't live in the city. Our time is more or less our own and we enjoy being able to stop and brew up a pot or coffee, tea or whip up a meal as we please. The Solo Stoves are preface for us, so on to the review. Upon receiving the new Solo Stove, I decided to compare it to the stove I reviewed April 29, 2012. The first difference I noticed was a much better stuff sack for the stove. The sack with the new stove is of much better construction and appears to be the same construction and material as provided withy the Solo Stove Titan and Solo Pots. After comparison of the stoves, the only difference I could detect was an apparent change in the attachment design of the wire ash grate. The new ash great appears to be every bit as rugged and durable as my first stove. Since only time and use will tell, we decided to take our first Solo Stove and the new Solo Stove on a camping and kayaking outing we had planned. Our outing was planned to be only for one week and weight wasn't a huge issue as everything would be carried in the kayaks with only very short portages. Normally we would have chosen one original Solo Stove and the Solo Stove Titan since we cook real food as opposed to boiling a little water to hydrate a packaged freeze dried meal. We used the new stove as our primary stove and our oldest Solo Stove as a second burner. As expected the newest Solo Stove performed flawlessly. We cooked soups, stews, fried, poached, steamed, stir fried and with our Banks Fry Bake pan and Scorch Buster we even baked a cake, pies, breads and even pizzas. Now that sounds like a lot of food for a week outing and it would be except we were enjoying ourselves so much we did a couple resupply runs to the nearest town and stayed out three weeks. Thinking back I wish I had kept track of how many times we actually sued the new stove but unfortunately didn't think of it. I can only describe the average days use. First thing in the morning make a pot of coffee, cook breakfast, heat water to wash dishes, boil the days drinking water, go play on water or put in some miles, brew pot of tea for lunch and make lunch, heat water for after lunch clean up and if needed boil water to replenish drinking water, back to play, cook supper, heat water for clean up, make an evening snack and cup of cocoa before bed. Probably that sounds like a tremendous amount work and wasted time to the average 21st. century backcountry traveler but my wife and I enjoy our time in the outdoors frankly we are in no hurry to put in as many miles as possible in order to get to our take out and back home. After arriving home we cleaned up the stoves, washed the stuff sacks and inspected the new stove and stuff sack of signs of wear, degradation, or damage. Other than minor discoloration, the stove in our opinion the stove was as good as new as was our oldest Solo Stove. I have no doubts that our Solo Stoves will still be going strong long after my wife and I have passed and will provide many years of service to whoever ends up with them. In closing I would like to add that in my opinion The original Solo Stove is the perfect choice for todays backpacker. It is the preface size for preparing freeze dried meals and when honestly comparing weight of stove and fuel for anything beyond a weekend of power bars and one meal a day of Raman Noodles or a freeze dried meal. I will continue to highly recommend the Solo Stove to anyone interested in hearing my opinion. ... show more

I have owned mine for years using it over 150 times. I have bought several as gifts Nandrecommended this dozens of times. I originally was wanting the Titanium Bush Buddy stove, but couldnt wait months for them to make it for a big trip I had coming up. I tried the Solo Stove variation and so glad I did. Besides saving a lot of money and getting it inactive timely manner, it has performed flawlessly. I also keep a Trangia alcohol stove in it in case I cant start a twig fire for what ever reason or sometimes i like to just wake up I'm the morning and not leave my hammock, and just use the Trangia with alcohol to make my coffee so i can stay in my hammock (this also makes for a good backup way to be able to cook and boil from inside your house if there is a power outage). Besides the Trangia, I store this stove in my Keith Titanium pot set which first everything all into one nice neat package. I find the combination of this Solo Stove, the Trangia alcohol as backup, and Keith Titanium Pot set to be a VERY hard solution to beat in price, weight, size, versatility, reliability, etc. Solo stove also has a similar alcohol stove and a pot set, but I prefer the Trangia and Keith solutions for that part of this kit. As for just this Solo Stove, I find being able to have a smokeless fire that doesnt hurt the vegetation below it and efficiently burns from the smallest amount of organic materials (twigs, sticks, paper, leaves, etc) to be a huge selling point to the gasification design. I have had zero warping of the metal shell and it functions as good today over 150 uses later. I find the size to be perfect for a single person (you can do more, but it's really perfect for one). The rack that holds your pot/pan about the flame is adequately sized and stable to handle the amount of food or water a single person would be working with and I really appreciate how simple it takes apart for transporting and stores inside itself (yet very stable when supporting your single pets and pans). The gasification process not only gets as much energy out of your twigs and such, but as an added bonus gives you a stealthy smokeless fire. The results after you use it, is the finest powdered ashes you have ever felt. You have an extremely small foot print with this stove, use less materials, arent broadcasting your location, and leave no trace behind as well as no impact to delicate roots and vegetation where you used it. I cant say enough good things about this stove (especially combined with the other 2 things I mentioned). Besides my knife and titanium canteen, this Solo Stove (and other 2 irems) are the items I want on me, if I'm back packing, canoeing, hiking, bush crafting, etc. Great product!!! ... show more

Best twig fueled stove I have seen
I have tried many backpacker cooking solutions since the 1960'a and this is second only to the no longer available Zebco propane burner burner top on a 1lb canister for reliable cooking. Some pressurized white gas stoves can beat it in time to boil (like the Coleman unit that weighs 4lbs) but you won't be doing a cleaning or repair operation by LED light in a downpour. The Solo has no parts to break or clog. If there are any fallen limbs or twigs you will have cooked food. I tested the Solo Stove at 45F, 850 feet elevation in wind gusts up to 30 MPH with 1.5 quarts of water in an uncovered 2 quart heavy kitchen aluminum sauce pan and no wind shielding (not trail equipment). Got the water to a full boil in less than 20 minutes. Fuel was twigs picked up from my yard after an inch of rain the previous day. No dried or split wood was used, only twigs that I could break to size by hand. The Solo is not smokeless but it is very low smoke compared to a firepit or most other wood stoves. Your pots and pans will get blackened. I have used Primus and other white gas stoves that did not do any better. Even a backpacker propane stove will take 12 to 15 minutes to boil water under these conditions. Butane stoves are more reliable than white gas but fall off in effectiveness as the temperature gets close to freezing where they stop working. It takes 8 to 10 minutes to get a a solid fire going in the Solo. This stove requires nearly continuous feeding of small twigs to maintain full heat output but it only took 4 to five handfuls of twigs to get started and bring the water to a boil. 25 minutes later the stove was only warm to the touch and only ashes were left. All the fuel had been consumed. Unlike most other backpacker twig stoves, the Solo stove is double walled construction. The outside will not get hot enough to create a risk of starting a forest fire. No burning embers will drop through to the ground. So it is not necessary to find a large rock or other inflammable surface to set the stove on (I have a folding rocket type twig stove with a grated bottom that can only be used on rock surfaces). This won't beat my Zebco propane burner top for speed or ease of use. But at 8 oz versus 3lbs it is certainly more packable and you won't run out of fuel or have an equipment failure. A couple of hints for for real world backpack cooking: 1. Always use a wind shield. Make one from three 18-24 inch metal rods and some heavy duty aluminum foil. This is bigger, lighter and cheaper than buying the manufactured ones. This is strongly recommended with all types of stoves. 2. The best fire starter is a cotton ball wiped in Vaseline petroleum jelly. It will start from a single good spark and burn 3 - 5 minutes. Plus, you only add a couple of ounces to your backpack counting the striker. ... show more

Quality product that really works.
This is a really cool piece of equipment. My wife and I are planning a multi-week backpacking trip in the alpine and realize that the fuel needed for our stove would be very cumbersome. I decided to try out the solostove ahead of time to see if it would work in our conditions. We live in remote south east alaska and We will be camping in the boreal rain forest. Wood fuel will be plentiful, but likely not dry. First impression is good. The stove is simple and well constructed with top materials. I tried out the stove in the yard, heating up a large pot of soup using a variety of different local woods. From dry seasoned sticks to wet and even green tree branches, the stove seemed to happily burn it all. Of course it smoked less and put out more heat with the drier woods. We took the stove on a picnic lunch with friends and used it to heat water for tea. The weather had been very rainy and cold, and all the available wood was soaking wet. The stove still started easily with only a small cotton ball and Vaseline starter and was able to boil water before we could even get a regular camp fire going. It took a lot more careful tending to keep the stove working with that wet wood, but it still got the job done. The stove and a good supply of fire starters together were MUCH lighter and more compact than my high-end fuel stove and associated fuel bottle. The one problem I noticed was that the relatively small base makes this a pretty tippy platform for cooking on, and it's important to find a solid and flat place to set it up. Overall I am totally sold on this stove for solo trips. I believe for tandem or group camping I will take the larger Solostove Titan. ... show more

Great Hiking Stove
This is a cool little stove. I have been searching for the "ultimate" hiking and camping stove for a few years now. What I have found is there is no one stove. It depends on what you are doing. I have made myself a bunch of beer can penny stoves. They are good for quick lunches. But you have to carry to much fuel for extended trips. The standard fuel canister ultra-lights are very handy, but.... well. They just aren't any fun. This stove is what I would call a outdoormans stove. It is light and packs down to fit into my cook pot (I use theOpen Country 5-Cup Percolator, cheap and works great) and folds out to provide its own wind shelter and pot holder. Then, you just stuff sticks in it and boil your water. My first test, I went out in my back yard and in 5 minutes I had enough twigs and sticks to fire this bad boy up for over a half and hour. Plenty of time to get my quart of water to boil. Today, I took it on a real test to the local Tillamook mountains. And it rained on me. All of the wood was wet. So I cheated and used a half ounce of everclear (ethyl alcohol) to get it started. But once started. It was great. I huddled under my shelter for 15 minutes and then had a nice warm lunch with tea. The nitty Gritty: Good stove. Well built. Works well. However: You need to have good fire craft. Start with small stuff. Build up to about finger sized chunks. THis thing is very efficient at burning the fuel you put in. So the heat comes out of the wood and the wood is gone. You have to keep feeding small pieces in every minute or so. (actually I like this part). It will burn wet wood just fine, but you need to get it going and that is harder (as any Boy Scount knows). The other cool thing. If you are out on a multi-day trip with this stove, it can be a campfire in the evening. Something to stare into and talk about life. Not something a propane stove lends itself to. Hey, laugh if you want, but you know that a campfire isn't always possible but you miss it so... Some warnings: This stove is harder to use than other stoves. It is what is says it is. It burns fuel that you can find EVERYWHERE and it does it very well. But you need to know how to start a fire. It also makes a lot of smoke when it is coming on line (once it heats up there is very little smoke) so you can't really have it "in" your tent or closed shelter. All this said. I love it. I am going to go bug my hiking buddies to get with it. Cheers !! ... show more

I have both the campfire and the lite. I prefer taking a wood stove while backpacking or camping. The photo shown in this post is actually the solo stove campfire. Waiting till there's red coals is another way to help prevent soot. You have to make sure it stays hot though. The stove is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it for anyone who likes to use a wood burning stove. Yes it's a bit heavier than other backpacking stoves but that's the price you pay for durability. Also, I like not having to worry about buying or finding fuel. I also have the Vargo twig stove. It is not nearly as efficient as the solo stove. The solo stove is superior when it comes to efficiency compared to other wood burning stoves. I carry an alcohol stove with me as well. I always carry some sort of backup even when using a canister stove. Especially in the winter. I did not buy the solo alcohol stove, however I bought a redcamp because the price was only $12. The combination of the two is excellent. If I'm in a rush and I need to boil water quickly I use the alcohol stove. Otherwise I'm cooking with twigs. If I cannot find dry wood and cannot get a fire started I will also use the alcohol stove in emergencies. It helps to carry a little alcohol or an esbit to help start your fire on those types of days. Updates after long use: After having this stove for a few years and using it on the trail I've come to some conclusioins. 1) I don't have much luck keeping it smoke free. It generally blows a lot of smoke when compared to my redcamp stoves when using the same wood. The same holds true for my Solo Stove Titan. 2) It's a bit too bulky and heavy for backpacking. It does a decent job boiling and cooking when compared to my Vargo hex. The hex weighs practically nothing, however. The Hex is usually my go to backup stove as a result. I generally only use this stove for camping now, and not backpacking. I've had some issues in the cold getting this stove going and keeping heat when boiling water while backpacking. I consider myself an expert in fire-craft, so that's not the issue. I've been building fires for 50 years in all sorts of conditions. I've even won fire-craft competitions. I still highly recommend this stove. It's versatile, wind proof and generally does work well. ... show more

Great Stove! Great Service!
I just received my Solo Stove from amazon and couldn't be happier. The thing does everything it's supposed to do and more. Let me start by saying that there was an address issue on my end and my stove got returned. The fine people at Solo Stove mailed it back to me as soon as they received it. Their customer service is top notch! As for the stove itself, it's really easy to use and reduces twigs to basically nothing. Once you get it going good it will dry out and burn moist sticks as well. I was able to boil 2 cups of water in well under 10 minutes which is nice. I was also amazed at how well it meshed with my current system. I have been using a GSI Soloist and a mini trangia alcohol stove for my outings but really wanted a stove that I could gather fuel instead of carry it. The Solo Stove is perfect for the job. It fits right down into my GSI pot and the trangia fits inside of it so now I have dual stove capability when backpacking with barely any extra weight. I don't have to carry the windscreen or the pot stand for my alcohol stove anymore either because it fits down inside the Solo Stove. The value of this stove can't be beaten either. Comparable stoves sell for well over 100 dollars and aren't made to the quality that this one is. This stove is as solid as they come and still very light weight. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it highly. ... show more

Definitely saved our butts for our emergency backup!
This thing seriously saved us! We were on a 6 day rafting trip in a deep canyon and our $400 Genesis failed, the pin for gas wouldn’t work. We only brought the Solo stove to cook marshmallows. We purchased the alcohol burner with this, but didn’t end up getting the alcohol before our trip, so we had to rely on sticks to burn. It was incredibly safe- I also purchased the burn mat for underneath it to catch ash and keep the sand from getting hot. It did a good job of containing the fire and allowed enough heat to cook on our pans to heat up our food. If I were to purchase this for actually cooking I would have gone with the bigger one, but I have to say this worked well, was very light weight and compact and was easy to use. I want to get two more for my kids for emergency use! I highly recommend these! ... show more
