Thank you for reading.
I noticed on the solo website that they don’t recommend placing anything on top of the solo storage. I purchased the pi pizza oven and was wondering if you have found a stand that can hold the pi pizza oven…. I noticed in another review that there was a stand holding the oven along with two sides that flipped up to hold utensils when cooking wondering if you’ve heard if solo is going to be making us or another brand has something that can accommodate the pi oven
Hello Melissa, first thank you for commenting, second I understand what your saying, I read the same question on the solo stove website (Can I store items on top of the Station?) It could be that they need to explain their answer in more detail, because in all of the photos they show wood on the top or bottom and the fire pit top or bottom, the fire pits, and pizza oven are relatively light, and another thing is that they probably don’t want people to cook with it on the station because of the heat, also I wanted to mention is that the station has a spot for utensils on the side and I understand it’s only used for storage.
If you are still unsure you could send Solo Stove an email asking them to explain.
Have a wonderful day.
