    Solo Stove Yukon 2.0

    Smokeless Fire Pit • 27"

    Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 is a big backyard smokeless fire pit (27" wide) made for real “group fire” nights, not small patios. Once it’s fully hot, the secondary burn cuts smoke way down, and it throws a bold flame that feels like a true centerpiece.

    Great if…

    • You want a large smokeless pit for real gatherings (not just 2–3 people)
    • You like high, “wow” flames and strong overall heat once it’s fully burning 
    • You want easier cleanup than older smokeless pits (removable ash pan under the base plate) 
    • You’re okay keeping extra wood nearby to keep it running hot and clean

    Think twice if…

    • You want a pit that sips wood (Yukon is a “feed me” kind of fire)
    • You want strong leg-level warmth without add-ons (a lot of heat drafts upward; deflector helps) 
    • You plan to move it around a lot (it’s about a 27" wide, ~38–42 lb awkward carry) 
    • You want a complete setup without spending more (stand/shield/deflector/shelter add up fast)

    Our take…

    This is the “go big” Solo Stove: a big, clean-burning backyard pit that puts on a serious flame show for 6+ people, with the 2.0 ash pan making cleanup way less annoying. The trade-off is it’s still bulky and famously wood-hungry, and many people end up wanting the heat deflector for better outward warmth.

    Worthy Mentions

    1. “Smokeless” is real once it’s ripping hot, but expect smoke during startup and anytime the fire is starving (damp wood, overloaded, or smoldering).
    2. Heat is strong, but it tends to rise more than it pushes outward; many owners add a heat deflector if they want warmer legs and more warmth at the seats.
    3. The 2.0 removable ash pan helps a lot, but some ash still sneaks around the edges and you’ll still be doing a real dump-out/brush-out sometimes; it also burns through wood faster than a basic open pit when you keep it in the “clean burn” zone.

    In Plain English

    The real-world take

    Short, practical notes—what matters, what doesn’t, and what to expect.

    Why we like it

    • The 2.0 upgrade (removable ash pan) makes cleanup way easier than older designs where you had to tip the whole pit. 
    • Big diameter means you can load normal-size logs without playing Tetris, and it’s great for 6–8 people. 
    • Once it’s rolling, it burns hot and clean for that “less smoke in your face” experience people buy Solo Stove for.

    Best for

    • Larger patios and backyards; families and small groups who want a big, clean-burning wood fire; people who want max flame without a permanent built-in fire feature.

    Things to know

    • It’s cleanest mid-burn. Expect some smoke at startup and when the fire is dying down (especially with damp wood or gusty wind). 
    • Yukon is known as a “wood hog” compared to smaller smokeless pits—big heat and big flames take steady fuel. 
    • It’s bulky and not light (commonly listed around the upper 30-lb range for the pit), so it’s portable, but not “grab-and-go” easy.
    • A stand is strongly recommended for protecting heat-sensitive surfaces; some bundles include it, some don’t.

    Other HearthTrail favorites

    If you love the Solo Stove style but want less fuel use and easier moving, look at Bonfire 2.0. If you want an even bigger “party pit” feel and don’t mind extra wood, step up to the Solo Stove Canyon.
