## What reviewers say

Two hands-on testers cooked on the dual-fuel Solo Stove Pi and both recommend it, especially with the propane burner. Both agree it heats fast, holds and recovers heat well, and bakes evenly. Both also flag wood mode as the weak spot: a small fuel tray, frequent refueling and a real learning curve on temperature control. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2022-05-19–2024-06-10.)

Praised: Cooks pizza well and evenly — no burnt bottom or charred toppings; Stone preheats fast and holds/recovers heat between pies (about 15 min to heat on Tom's Guide; 650°F at 10 min and reload-ready within two minutes on Reviewed); Wide opening (13 in vs a 12 in stone) makes launching, watching and turning pizzas easy; Lightweight (30.5 lb) compact round stainless design that is easy to move and store; Dual-fuel flexibility — propane for convenience, wood for flavor; Bakes a Neapolitan pie in about two minutes; Exterior stays relatively cool even when the oven is blazing hot inside; Demi-Dome convection airflow cooks top and bottom simultaneously; also works for pan-cooking steak.
Flagged: Wood firing is cumbersome — small fuel tray needing frequent refueling (Tom's Guide: through a rear panel every five to 10 minutes; Reviewed: 11-inch tray requiring wood cut to 1 x 5 in); Temperature is hard to regulate on wood; Tom's Guide notes there is no damper or airflow control; The propane burner both testers prefer is sold separately, raising real cost (Tom's Guide: $469 wood-only vs $645 with propane; Reviewed: $440 vs $615); Front of the oven gets very sooty on wood — no chimney, so the mouth is the only escape for heat and smoke; Two-piece pizza stone leaves a small gap in the cooking surface; Ash pan fills on longer wood cooks and the fire goes out; gas is advised beyond about five pizzas; The two screws holding the propane burner are easily lost and not replaceable at a hardware store.
Disagreement: The two testers rank it very differently, and measured different things. Tom's Guide recorded around 750°F internal temperature on propane, contrasted that with the Ooni Fyra's 900°F, and concluded the Pi is 'not our first choice for wood-burning ovens.' Reviewed measured stone temperature, hit 780°F, praised the convection airflow, and concluded the Pi outperformed the Gozney and Ooni ovens that previously topped its rankings. Note the readings are not directly comparable (ambient/internal vs stone surface), and the reviews are two years apart.
