The NFL season is in full swing, and tailgating has never been hotter — uh, literally. We've been hauling our Solo Stove to parking lots for years and years (and honestly, we've gotten pretty creative with how we use it) but it wasn't until this year that Solo Stove pulled through with an upgraded setup that really solves game day desires. The new Cookout Kit combines the brand’s awesome smokeless fire pits with a versatile standing height grill solution that’s perfect for chilly parking lot pre-games. Whether you’re the grill master grilling burgers or staying warm while catching up with friends, this portable grill kit upgrades the experience for tailgaters everywhere.

Your Favorite Solo Stove, Upgraded

The Solo Stove Cookout Kit is a grill kit built for portability, making it an easy game-day solution. While you might already be dragging your favorite firepit (the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0) along for the ride, buying the additional Cookout Kit takes things to a new level. Designed to fit seamlessly with their already popular design, this outdoor cooking setup transforms your fire pit into a versatile cooking station for portable tailgating, so grab your grill tools.

  • Lightweight and Portable: The entire cooking kit is compact and easy to transport. It has a foldable frame, retractable legs, and is lightweight (as far as portable charcoal grills go, at least).
  • Wood and Charcoal Compatible: Whether you prefer the smoky aroma of wood or the steady heat of charcoal grilling, you’ve got options.
  • Durable Design: Made with stainless steel and a powder-coated finish, it’s built to withstand the elements.
  • NFL Customization Options: Soon, fans can rep their favorite teams with custom logos. #GoBills

Tailgate Cooking Made Simple

Tailgating food is all about bold flavors and the wide variety of crowd-pleasing dishes, and frankly, until this point we were merely the masters of roasting hot dogs on s'more sticks. Hardpacked midwinter snow couldn't stop us then, and it won't now. The Solo Stove Cookout Kit makes it easy to expand your menu beyond the basics. With the included grill and optional griddle as a cooking surface, you can cook pretty much everything you cook on your home grill. Don't forget the cast iron skillet if you plan on making chili or warming soup before the big game.

Here are some ways to make the most of it:

  • Classic Grilling: The grill grate makes it possible to cook a wide range of meals... all your steaks, dogs, and patties.
  • Breakfast on the Griddle: Whip up pancakes, eggs, and bacon.
  • Charcoal Magic: The cooking kit includes a charcoal adaptor for consistent heat and better control over cooking temperatures, but you can also use wood from your campfire to heat up the goods.

Unlike traditional charcoal grills, you'll still enjoy using this product as your go-to smokeless fire pit. Here’s why it stands out in the crowded world of tailgating gear:

  • Multi-Purpose Design: Grill, griddle, and fire pit in one compact system.
  • Community Feel: There’s something about gathering around a fire that brings people closer.
  • No-Smoke Fire: By design, the air circulation in the fire pit eliminates smoke clouds while you cook or chat.
  • Easy Cleanup: The Bonfire 2.0’s ash pan and removable parts make post-tailgate cleanup a breeze.
