I had alway admired the Solo Stoves at friends and facilities but never thought I could have one because of my composite deck figuring it would melt right through. When I was looking to get a small one for portable use and discovered the riser plate I was so happy to realize I can use it on my deck. Then as always, I went overboard with the accessories and my family really loves the Pi Fire Attachment, The deflector work amazing, and having the ability to cook on the unit makes this investment so much more valuable as something we can use all the time. The pellet adapter makes the system so much more versatile with available fuel because I also have a smoker, so now have flexibility for fuel depending on how I am using my stove.
