Solo Stove Yukon 2.0
The size at which you stop cutting firewood down. 27 inches of stainless, roughly twice the fire area of a Bonfire, and roughly twice the appetite.

27 in of 304 stainless steel weighing 38 lb, with a removable ash pan and the same lifetime-defects warranty as the smaller Solo Stoves. Buy it if you have room for the clear circle and a group that fills the seats. It is the wrong pit for a small patio.

The same stainless construction as the Bonfire at 27 in, which is the size where you stop cutting firewood down and start putting full splits in whole.
- 27 in takes a full 16 in split without cutting, which changes how much work an evening is
- Radiant output scales with fire area, and this is roughly twice the Bonfire's
- Same warranty and same stainless as the smaller units
- 38 lb is a two-person lift once it has ash in it
- It burns wood proportionally faster: bigger fire, bigger woodpile
- Too much pit for a small patio, where the clearance math gets tight fast
A yard with room for a 7 ft circle of clear ground and a group that actually fills the seats.
Your usable space is a patio under 12 ft across. Read the clearance table before you buy the big one.
We have not burned this unit. These are the things a specification sheet cannot answer, listed rather than glossed over.
- Whether the extra diameter meaningfully improves smoke reduction, or just makes a bigger fire
- How the ceramic-coated colorways hold up next to bare stainless over several seasons

The 27 inch argument, in one number
Almost every review of this pit talks about capacity in vague terms. The specific, checkable claim is simpler: at 27 in a standard 16 in firewood split goes in whole. On a 19.5 in Bonfire it usually does not, and the difference between the two pits is therefore not really about flame size — it is about whether an evening involves a saw.
(27 / 19.5)^2 = 1.38^2
1.92x the fire area
The symmetrical cost is the part the marketing does not dwell on. Roughly twice the fire area is roughly twice the woodpile, and over a season that is real money in most places. A big pit is an appetite, not a free upgrade. What to burn, and what it costs you.
38 pounds is a two-person lift once it has ash in it
The listing weight is 38 lb empty. That is portable in the sense that it can be moved, not in the sense that you will move it casually — and a chamber full of cold ash adds meaningfully to it. In practice this pit gets carried twice a year: out in spring, into the garage in November.
Plan the spot before it arrives rather than after. A 27 in fire wants a clear circle measured from the fire itself, and fence lines, a low shed and an overhead tree canopy all count as things to clear. Solo Stove's own listing effectively concedes the point by steering small-space buyers to the smaller models. The clearance table, with the code quoted.
Same stainless, same warranty, same rust exclusion
Construction is 304 stainless steel, identical in kind to the Bonfire and the Ranger — the Yukon is not a different product, it is the same product scaled. That matters for a patio or a paved surface, because stainless does not stain what it stands on the way corten does. Corten vs stainless, in full.
The warranty is lifetime against defects and explicitly does not cover rust. Read that as the standard terms rather than a scandal — it is the same exclusion across the range — but do read it, because surface rust on a stainless pit left uncovered through a wet winter is the complaint that actually shows up, and it is the one thing the lifetime coverage will not address.
What we could not establish
Whether the extra diameter improves smoke reduction or simply makes a larger fire is not something we can answer. Secondary combustion depends on chamber geometry, wood moisture, load and wind, and no maker publishes a figure for any pit in this category. Anyone quoting you a smoke-reduction percentage is quoting a number with no method behind it. How smokeless pits actually work.
The ceramic-coated colorways are the other unknown. Bare stainless has no finish to fail; a coating over a burn zone does, and there is no published durability data. If you expect the pit to look new in five years, the uncoated version is the safer bet.
Alternatives
- [Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0](/smokeless-fire-pits/solo-stove-bonfire-2-0) — 19.5 in and 21.2 lb, the version most yards actually need. The size comparison.
- [Breeo X Series 24](/smokeless-fire-pits/breeo-x24) — comparable fire size in corten, built to cook on, and it stains whatever it stands on.
- Solo Stove Ranger 2.0 — 15 in, for a patio where the clearance math rules the big pit out.
- Every dimension and weight is a manufacturer or listing figure, cited on the spec sheet above.
- The fire-area comparison is our arithmetic from published diameters, shown rather than asserted.
- What we did not do: light it, measure radiant heat, or time a burn.
We have not burned any of these units, and we do not claim to have. The full method, including what it cannot tell you.
