I've been loving my Yukon so far. I have a covered patio and shed that I can move it to when not in use or when it rains, but obviously a lid or shelter would be better. What would people recommend, and are there good third party options? I'll get the name brand stuff if it really is a difference in quality, but $70 for a glorified tarp seems like a bit much, especially when I've seen reviews saying they aren't the best quality.

Solo markets a shield (bag) for outdoor storage. But my bonfire also came with a heavy duty bag... are they one in the same?

The accessories on this thing are pricy. After getting the Solo stand, cover, tongs/poker, and shelter, the price is north of $400. Looking to save a few bucks on the current sale at the official website. I'm wondering if the cover actually is needed? Shouldn't this thing be weatherproof as it is all stainless? If the cover just blocks dust/pollen, can't I just flip the solo upside down to protect the inside? and just wipe the outside on occasion?

Edit: Also, does anyone know how solostove.com is about returns for parts of a bundle? If I buy a bundle on sale and return parts of the bundle I decide I don't need, will they prorate the discount?

Has anyone found a good alternative for the shelter. It’s prohibitively expensive imo. I really only want a place to hold the stove and wood.

Edit: Station not shelter. Looking for a covered shelf to hold bonfire and wood.

Placing my order for the surround and shelter for it at some point today. My question is should I go ahead and place an order for the bonfire lid as well at the same time or is there some support bracing in the middle where I won’t hence to worry about rain or water build up in the middle of the shelter? Thank you in advance
