Solo Stove Pi Fire (Bonfire) — Spec Profile
Brand: Solo Stove · MSRP: $249.99 · Fuel: Wood
Pi Fire is an attachment, not a standalone oven — it converts an existing Solo Stove fire pit into a wood-fired pizza oven. The Bonfire-size variant is the mid-spec option in the three-size range (Ranger / Bonfire / Yukon). Cheapest entry into wood-fired pizza on the site at $249.99 MSRP, but it requires a compatible Solo Stove fire pit you already own.

What the specs mean for cooking
The Solo Stove Pi Fire (Bonfire) reaches 700°F on the stone — the lowest max-temp in the on-site lineup and below the practical 850-900°F threshold for true Neapolitan style. This is a New York / Detroit / pan-pizza temperature class rather than a Neapolitan-cornicione oven. Cook times will run 4-8 minutes per pie rather than 60-90 seconds.
The 14-inch stainless steel stone is generously sized for the price class — it fits up to a 14-inch round, which is a meaningful jump over the 12-13 inch entry-level category.
Fuel is wood-only — full smoke contribution to the crust at the cost of more attentive fuelling during a cook. There is no gas accessory in the Pi Fire line.
At 19.6 lbs, this is a one-person carry — the lightest spec on the site. Dimensions of 19.3x19.3x16.9" mean it stores in a standard garage shelf or storage shed between sessions. The catch: it's an attachment — you also need a compatible Solo Stove Bonfire fire pit underneath it.
Best fit for
- New York-style and pan-pizza cooks (700°F is the sweet spot)
- Existing Solo Stove fire-pit owners adding a pizza-oven mode
- Camping, tailgating, frequent moves
- Wood-fired authenticity for weekend cooks
- Budget-conscious buyers — under $250 entry
- Not for cooks chasing 60-second Neapolitan bakes — see Karu/Roccbox/Koda for that

Where this oven fits the buying decision
If you're cross-shopping the Solo Stove Pi Fire (Bonfire) against the Solo Stove Pi Prime or the Ooni Fyra 12, the deciding factors are usually max temperature, whether you already own a Solo Stove fire pit, and your target pizza style — in that order. Run the Pizza Throughput Calculator for your target party size to see realistic pies-per-hour, and the Neapolitan Fit Checker to confirm the stone fits the dough size you actually want to make.
FAQ
Do I need a Solo Stove fire pit to use this?
Yes — the Pi Fire is an attachment that sits on top of a compatible Solo Stove fire pit (Ranger / Bonfire / Yukon). The Bonfire-size Pi Fire pairs with the Bonfire-size fire pit specifically.
Can it make true Neapolitan pizza?
No — at 700°F max temp it falls below the practical 850-900°F Neapolitan floor. It's well-suited to New York and Detroit styles where a 4-8 minute bake is part of the recipe.
What does it cost to run per session?
Wood logs run about $5-15 per session for premium hardwood (oak, cherry, hickory).
Is the Solo Stove Pi Fire weather-resistant?
The stainless steel construction handles outdoor exposure when properly covered. Always store the cordierite stone indoors between sessions to prevent moisture absorption — a wet stone can crack on the next preheat.
