Solo Stove Cast Iron Grill Top — Large 17.75" Cooking Grate for Bonfire & Yukon, Even-Heat Cast Iron

The Solo Stove Large Cast Iron Grill Top is a heavy-duty 17.75" cast-iron cooking grate designed to convert your Bonfire or Yukon fire pit into a reliable wood-fired grill.

This grill top turns Solo Stove fire pits into a trail-ready cooking station built for slow-seared steaks, flame-kissed vegetables, and communal outdoor meals. Forged from solid cast iron, the grate delivers even heat transfer, long-term seasoning, and a broad surface that accommodates family-sized portions. It pairs with the matching Hub and either the Bonfire or Yukon fire pit to create a safe, stable, and flavorful open-fire cooking setup.

How does the cast iron grate perform over open flames?

Cast iron heats gradually and retains heat evenly, making it forgiving in open-fire conditions and ideal for steady grilling over a single layer of embers. With use it develops a polymerized seasoning layer that improves release and corrosion resistance.

• Even heat distribution for consistent searing and finishing.
• Seasoning improves non-stick performance over time.
• Designed to work with lump kiln-dried chunk wood for best flavor.

What size and compatibility should I expect?

The grill top provides a 17.75" (45 cm) cooking surface and weighs about 17 lbs (7.7 kg), giving it durable mass and a stable platform for cookware or direct grilling. It must be mounted with the Solo Stove Hub and used on a Bonfire or Yukon fire pit for a safe, complete setup.

• Cooking surface diameter: 17.75" / 45 cm.
• Weight: 17 lbs / 7.7 kg—solid enough to stay put yet portable for car-camping.
• Requires Solo Stove Hub plus Bonfire or Yukon fire pit for proper use.

How easy is it to use and maintain the grill?

The wide grate pattern and two integrated handles make placement, turning, and removal straightforward even when wearing gloves. Routine care is simple: heat to burn off residues, wipe or scrub as needed, and keep the surface lightly oiled to build and preserve seasoning.

• Two easy-grip handles for safe maneuvering and removal.
• Heats gradually to reduce food sticking and hot spots.
• Clean by heating and brushing; season with oil to maintain non-stick surface.

What cooking styles and recipes work best on this grate?

The grill top excels for direct-grill searing, plancha-style vegetables, and placing pans for skillet cooking. The wide cooking area supports multiple items at once so you can cook mixed meals for groups without crowding.

• Direct grilling: steaks, burgers, chops with wood-fired char.
• Vegetables and flatbreads that benefit from steady, even heat.
• Use with cast-iron pans or Dutch ovens for braises and stews.

Who is this for? The Solo Stove Large Cast Iron Grill Top is aimed at campers, backyard hosts, and anyone who already owns a Bonfire or Yukon and wants a durable, versatile cooking surface that improves with use. It suits cooks who prefer real-wood flavors, value long-lasting gear, and want a simple, stable way to cook over live embers. If you plan multi-person meals or want a grill that seasons into better performance over years, this grate is built for that purpose.
