Solo Stove Pi Prime: Propane vs. Wood Burning
The same compact demi-dome oven body sold as two distinct, single-fuel models. The propane version reaches a slightly higher maximum temperature and lights instantly; the wood-burning version trades some peak heat and convenience for wood-fired flavor and more hands-on fire management.

Solo Stove Pi Prime (Wood Burning)

- Shares the same compact, portable round body as Solo Stove's propane model
