Solo Stove Yukon Lid — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Solo Stove Yukon Lid?
The Solo Stove Yukon Lid is a round, stainless steel cover that fits over the Yukon fire pit (27″ model). It acts as a protective lid to keep out rain, leaves, and debris when the fire is out, and can also double as a tabletop when cool.
What are its materials, dimensions & features?
• Material: Made from durable **304 stainless steel** for corrosion resistance and durability.
• Dimensions: 26.93″ in width / diameter, ~ 2″ height (lid profile)
• Weight: approximately 9 lb (for the 27″ Yukon lid)
• Versatility: When completely cool, the lid can serve as a tabletop surface for drinks, snacks, or small items.
• Safety note: The lid **should not** be used to snuff out a burning fire — it’s intended only for use after the fire has sufficiently died down.
How do I use and maintain the lid?
1. Wait until the fire is completely out or nearly extinguished and the lid surface is cool.
2. Place the lid over the Yukon’s rim so that it covers the fire pit securely.
3. As needed, use it as a temporary tabletop surface for holding drinks or small items.
4. Clean using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh abrasives or cleaners that might damage the stainless steel finish.
5. Store the lid in a dry location when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear or stains.
What are the advantages and potential drawbacks?
Advantages:
• Keeps leaves, rain, and debris out of your fire pit, reducing cleanup.
• Doubles as a tabletop when cool, adding functionality to your outdoor setup.
• Built from long-lasting stainless steel.
Drawbacks / cautions:
• Must not be used while the fire is active or hot — doing so can warp the metal or pose safety hazards.
• On very rainy or windy nights, moisture or condensation may build up under the lid — occasional airing helps.
• Over time, outdoor exposure may cause discoloration or patina, depending on local conditions.
• Lid must match the size/model of the Yukon fire pit — using an incorrect size may lead to poor fit or risk of shifting.
