When to put on a Solo Stove Heat Deflector?

A Real Customer Experience

“Very well made. Works great.
I’ve had a 19” fire pit for a while and my biggest complaint was that all the heat went straight up and we would still be cold despite being close to the fire. With this deflector, I can finally feel the heat on my feet and legs and I love it.

The deflector is sturdy and very well built. It looks to be made from a single sheet of stainless steel with a nice rolled edge making it safe to handle without sharp edges. It has three detachable legs that were easy to install. During use it will collect some soot and carbon that is easily removed with mild soap and water.

This one is a little more expensive than some of the others out there but I think it is worth it. Good job YEFU.”

Why Heat Deflectors Matter for Solo Stove Users

Solo Stove fire pits are known for their efficient airflow and smokeless burn. However, one common issue many users experience is that most of the heat rises vertically. This means that even when you’re sitting close to the fire, your feet and legs may still feel cold—especially during fall and winter evenings.

This is exactly where a heat deflector makes a noticeable difference.

When Should You Use a Solo Stove Heat Deflector?

You should consider putting on a heat deflector when:

• Outdoor temperatures drop and you want more usable warmth

• You notice heat rising straight up instead of spreading outward

• You want to extend your outdoor season into colder months

• You’re hosting guests and want everyone around the fire to feel comfortable

With a heat deflector installed, radiant heat is redirected horizontally, warming the area around the fire pit more evenly.
