Solo Stove Ranger Cooking System Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ranger Cooking System?
The Ranger Cooking System is an accessory bundle designed for use with the Solo Stove Ranger fire pit. It includes the stainless-steel Hub and a cast-iron grill top. The Hub elevates the grill surface about 6.5″ above the coals, allowing you to turn your fire pit into a wood-fired grill.
What components are included in the system?
The system includes a cast-iron grill grate (pre-seasoned surface) and the Ranger Hub (304 stainless steel). The fire pit itself is sold separately.
Why use the Ranger Cooking System instead of a standard grill?
Because it allows you to use wood-fuel, get that distinct wood-flame flavor and high heat searing, while leveraging the efficient smokeless fire technology of the Ranger. Plus it enables circular 360° access so everyone can gather around.
What do I need to use it safely and effectively?
You need fully dried hardwoods (oak, hickory, maple), build a good ember bed, and ensure flame height is kept moderate when cooking. The Hub must be used so that the cast-iron grill sits at safe height above coals. The system is designed to work with the Ranger fire pit.
How do I clean and maintain the cooking system?
After use, allow the cast-iron grate to cool, then brush off residue and lightly oil it to maintain seasoning. The steel Hub and fire pit should be cleaned according to Solo Stove’s instructions. A removable ash pan makes cleanup easier.
Is the Ranger Cooking System portable?
Yes — the components nest together and the Hub packs inside the Ranger fire pit for easier transport. It’s ideal for backyard use, camping, tailgating or beach fire nights.
