Overview
The Pi Prime strips Solo Stove's Pi design down to propane only, keeping the 304 stainless steel body and cordierite stone but adding a front-facing dial for direct flame control. It's built to preheat in about 15 minutes and cook a pizza in as little as 90 seconds.
Where the standard Pi splits its heat source between wood and gas, the Pi Prime commits to propane only, trading fuel flexibility for a faster, more predictable preheat and a dial-controlled flame instead of managing a wood fire. Reviewers describe setup as close to unboxing, placing the stones, and connecting a propane cylinder, with most of the learning curve landing on dough handling and turning technique rather than the oven itself. It's also sold in a bundle that at least one buyer found didn't include everything expected.
- Propane-fueled pizza oven, no wood option
- 304 stainless steel with cordierite stone
- Preheats in about 15 minutes
- Front-facing dial for flame and heat control
Who it's for
Fits someone who wants a portable, propane-only pizza oven with a dial for heat control and minimal setup, for backyard use or taking along on trips. Less of a fit for someone who specifically wants a wood-fired flavor option, since this version runs on propane only.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly describe setup as simple, close to unboxing the oven, placing the stones, and connecting a propane cylinder, and several call the resulting pizza restaurant quality once they get the timing right. The main friction point mentioned is a short learning curve on turning and temperature to avoid a burnt top or an undercooked crust, with a couple of buyers adding an aftermarket thermometer to check stone heat directly. One reviewer bought a bundle deal that left out the thermometer and pizza peel they expected, and said customer service only offered store credit rather than the missing items.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fast preheat, around 15 minutes per Solo Stove's own figures
- Front dial gives direct control over flame and heat
- Reviewers describe simple, quick setup
- Cordierite stone produces a crisp crust by most accounts
- Propane only, no wood-burning option
- Short learning curve on timing and turning to avoid burning
- One buyer's bundle deal left out expected accessories
Performance notes
A front-facing dial adjusts the propane flame directly, which is what lets reviewers dial in a consistent 600 to 650 degree range once they find the setting that suits their dough, rather than guessing at airflow the way a wood-fired setup requires. The cordierite stone spreads heat evenly across the base and releases steam as it cooks, which several buyers credit for a crisp crust rather than a soggy one. Most of the preheat and cook times reported by reviewers land close to Solo Stove's own 15-minute preheat and 90-second cook claims, though a couple of buyers used an added digital thermometer to check stone temperature directly rather than trust the dial alone.
