A few of you have asked us recently how we made the Solo Stove Titan Gill Bowl, in anticipation of making your own. Overall the process is not very difficult, but will require a few power tools. The two major components required are a large stainless steel mixing bowl, and a small grill from a “smoky joe” style mini grill.
Our first step was to simply scribe a circle onto the inside of the bowl, that is equivalent in size to the diameter of the Solo Stove Titan pot stand. It should be designed such that the pot stands collar will not fit through the hole in the bowl. Once that is complete, all you need to do is remove the associated material inside the scribed circle. This can be done with a Dremel, cut-off wheels, or in our Case a Wuertz Machine Works TW-90 grinder at Grindhouse Knives. Cut out the meat of the circle and then carefully hand fit the bowl to the stove. Once complete, fire it up and do some cooking.
We hope to get another version of the Grill Bowl made that will fit the new Solo Stove Campfire, once we get our hands on this newest addition to the Solo Stove lineup. Obviously a larger bowl and grill will be needed, but I’m sure we can scrounge up the needed parts to get this project rolling.
I’ve got a solo stove original and the new campfire arriving soon. How did you cut the large hole? Did you do some sort of rough cut then hand smoothed it with a dremel? What would you charge for grill bowls for the original and campfire?
We cut a primary hole using a pneumatic cut off tool and finished it on a TW-90 grinder. We are looking into cost for time and materials for making more Grill Bowls. Keep an eye on the site for details.
GH,
Any problems with juice, goo, etc dripping down into the stove? There isn’t any sort of tray to catch the drippings like on a grill.
Mod looks awesome and extends the utility of the Solo Stove. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks….
Can’t say we’ve had any real problems with drippings. The Solo burns so hot it seems to just burn them up.
Were you able to come up with a version of the grill bowl to fit the Solo Campfire stove. Do you sell the assembly?
Thanks
Terry
We did find a bowl, but the bowls owner didn’t want us to re-purpose it, so currently a Solo Stove Campfire Grill Bowl does not exist.
looks like you would have to lift the bowl to add more wood?????? tom
You would have to lift the grill to put more fuel in the stove. That’s why we find it handy to get the fire going and loading it up with charcoal for cooking.
After I cut the bottom of the bowl out.
I smoothed out the edges and then I drilled a number of 1/4″ holes thru it. When I grill I put it on the pot stand and it acts as a diffuser and spreads out the flame
