Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I use the Yukon?

The Yukon works great in a backyard, ranch, or anywhere your group plans to gather. Be sure to only burn the Yukon in a well vented area with no overhang.

Do I need to purchase any accessories?

Nope. All you need are some logs to burn. If you plan on using the Yukon on sensitive surfaces, consider getting the Yukon stand to help protect the surface below.

How do I cook on the Yukon?

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!

What wood types do you recommend using as fuel?

Any firewood logs will burn but for optimal efficiency we recommend dry hard woods. Hardwoods such as birch, maple, hickory and oak will burn longer than softwoods. Be sure to avoid driftwood as it contains a high concentration of salt that can potentially corrode the fire pit.

How many logs should I use?

Solo Stove recommends using 8-10 average size logs. Be sure to not overfill your Yukon and keep the fuel below the upper vents. Once you have a hot bed of embers, you can always throw on another log or two.

How do I clean and store my Yukon?

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!

Will my Yukon be hot when in use?

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 Yukon. Use common sense and treat the Yukon like any other fire.

Can you place the Yukon in an existing fire pit?

Yes, however we recommend 4-6 inches of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.
