Need a Gift for Your Favorite Grill Master? Solo Stove’s New Cookout Kit Is the Total Package

The Solo Stove Cookout Kit can turn your Bonfire 2.0 fire pit into an on-the-go charcoal grill or griddle. It includes a cookout kit frame to hold the fire pit, a charcoal adaptor and a cast iron grill or griddle top (chef’s choice). The frame is as sturdy as it is portable, allowing you to cook in either a high or low position before folding up for easy storage. If you don’t already own the Bonfire 2.0, you can also buy the Bonfire Cookout Bundle that includes its bestselling fire pit, the full cookout kit mentioned above, a removable base plate and ash pan for clean-up and a carrying case so you can easily haul it to all those parking lot tailgates. 

For me, the magic is in the convenience. Rather than buying a whole new grill (that we then also had to store) the Cookout Kit gave our already beloved fire pit a whole new purpose. We could bust out the frame for a dinner of burgers and brats, then break it all down for late-night s’mores around the fire. I love that the additional accessories take up minimal space—we store the adaptor and grill top in the kitchen while the frame hangs out in the garage. And as our pickiest guests can attest, you really can’t beat the smoky, meaty flavor of a charcoal grill.  

After a few rounds of testing, my only gripe was with the lack of a top or cover to help trap the heat and speed up the cooking process (though, as my husband likes to say, there’s nothing wrong with low and slow).
