Making of the Solo Stove Titan Grill Bowl
Making the Solo Stove Titan Grill Bowl
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.
Fitting the Solo Stove Titan Grill Bowl
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.

Some people get all a tizzy about the latest iFruit device coming out of Cupertino, not us. We get all hot a bothered when our favorite woodgas stove makers Solo Stove announce a new stove. The latest creation from these stove masters is the Solo Stove Campfire.The Solo Stove Campfire is a yet even bigger addition to the current original Solo Stove and Solo Stove Titan family.This big ole bad ass woodgasifier is large enough to support full sized skillets and multi-quart, possible multi-gallon pots. The Solo Stove Campfire kit comes with two pots, one 3 liter and one 1.5 liter, which act as a nesting container for the Solo Stove Campfire. Currently the project is now on Kickstarter, and we anticipate it to easy reach it’s funding goal. As soon as we have one of these bad boys in hand a full review and video will be posted, so stay tuned.

EDC Card The Ultimate Everyday Carry Pocket Multi-Tool
Everyone has an everyday carry, or EDC kit. For some it’s just a wallet and a phone. For others this kit is a myriad of knives, lighters, pens and other such tools. The later is the type of kit every good Gear Whore has. That’s why when recently cruizing Kickstarter we ran across a new project that needed our backing, EDC Card. From the title of the page EDC Card clams to be “The Ultimate Everyday Carry Pocket Multi-Tool”, and we must say it appears to have quite a few tools crammed into a credit card shaped device. What really got our attention is the fact EDC Card is made from CPM S35VN steel. That is some quite nice blade steel. As a mater of fact we have Sniper Bladeworks knives that sport this as the blade steel. Take this, and add in a hefty selection of hex drivers, screw drivers, pry bar and you get a 2.4mm thick 2oz ergonomic credit card sized power house. Needles to say we have high hopes for this bit of kit, so we’ll watch the EDC Card Kickstarter progress closely.
