Solo Stove Bonfire Lid — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Solo Stove Bonfire Lid?
The Solo Stove Bonfire Lid (model SSBON-LID) is a round stainless steel cover designed to sit atop the Bonfire fire pit. It helps contain ash and embers after a burn and can double as a tabletop surface once fully cooled.
What are its materials, dimensions & specifications?
• Material: 304 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Diameter / width: ~ 19.75 in (≈ 50.2 cm)
• Height / thickness: ~ 1.25 in
• Weight: ~ 4 lb (≈ 1.8 kg)
• Warranty: Lifetime (against manufacturer defects)
How do I use and care for the Bonfire Lid?
1. Allow the fire to fade and let the lid cool; **do not** place the lid while active flames or high heat persist.
2. Center the lid over the rim of the Bonfire to cover the fire pit.
3. Use the lid to contain residual embers, ash, or smoke overnight.
4. Once fully cooled, it also works as a tabletop surface for drinks, snacks, or small items.
5. Clean it by wiping with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners.
6. Store it dry and ideally indoor when not in use for long periods.
What are the benefits and risks / limitations?
Benefits:
• Helps contain ash, embers, and windblown sparks after a burn.
• Adds functional space — serving as a temporary tabletop when cool.
• Built from durable stainless steel, resisting corrosion and weather exposure.
Risks / limitations:
• It’s **not** to be used to extinguish or snuff out a fire — doing so can damage the lid or pose safety hazards.
• Discoloration or heat patina may occur over time with repeated heating cycles.
• If fire is too hot or lid is placed prematurely, there’s a risk of warping or damage.
• Must match the correct Bonfire size — using it on mismatched or undersized fire pits may cause poor fit or instability.
