Solo Stove PI - Quick review

[JoeSousa]

I have been trying out the new Solo Stove PI and just got done with my second cook. I have an Ooni Koda 16 so I was excited to see how this compared.

It was super easy to set up. Just pull it out of the box and screw on the gas attachment with 2 thumb screws. Put the pizza stones in and it is good to go.

Overall I think it got a bit hotter than my Ooni? I have gotten my Ooni to about 950 but the Solo Stove PI went over 1000 on my IR gun. It took about 30 minutes to get that hot.

The pizzas cooked great. It can cook about a 12 inch pizza (a 250g dough ball) compared to the Ooni Koda 16 which can do a 16 inch pie (300g dough ball). There isn't as much room in the oven to move the pizza around as the Ooni either.

I don't know if I like it more than the Ooni but I definitely don't like it less. If you need me to pick one and threaten me with taking away all my steaks I might say the Solo Stove PI cooks the pizzas a bit better??? They both run around $600 so they are pretty much the same price. It kind of just depends on if you are happy with the 12 inch pizzas or if you need the larger size of the Ooni Koda.

Yeah. I’d eat the pizza. And probably be searching for fourth and fifth helpings……

Any size pizza and be a personal pizza if you try hard enough.

I'm really liking that pizza. Looks like quality pepperoni. I'm so glad I can't smell it. I would sure to be asking for a piece... to start.

[JoeSousa]

It is some Boar's Head pepperoni. I buy it in the sticks and slice it myself. There used to be another brand that was my favorite but they changed their recipe a couple years back. But the Boar's Head is the closest thing I have found. Almost perfect flavor and it cups up nicely.

Appreciate you sharing! I bought a Roccbox three weeks ago and this didn’t come up in my research, so I guess it just came out? More competition means better and cheaper products, so I’m very glad to have Solostove in the market.

And yes, your pizza looks great!

[JoeSousa]

I think they started selling them in April or May but didn't start shipping until June IIRC.

Here are a couple videos I shot of the unboxing and one of the pizzas I cooked on it:
