The normal deflector offered by Solo Stove is 10 inches tall and a 25 inch diameter. I just made this off those dimensions and it worked perfectly with a spring grill handle. Thanks again!

Thank you very much for the detailed video. I created one for my solo-Stove Bonefire. This was supposed to be a weekend project, but Amazon didn't deliver the 24" Pan until just before the conclusion of the Eagles vs 49ers game. I worked on it during the Chiefs vs Bengals game. I received the Table legs on Saturday afternoon, and I had brought a Table leg with me to the hardware store, and found the Stainless steel #10 Flat/coned machine screw provided the best fit (accompanied with a Stainless steel washer, lock washer, and nut). I used your instructions to start and get the table legs properly located, but tested fitted on the pan, and placed the ring on top, and found that it needed to be adjust about 1/4" all the way around for the best fit on my stove. I believe that the legs are 5" to 7" too tall. That aluminum pan takes a while to even get HOT, and I am not feeing the heat defecting down like I want. I tested it last night, and today ( I have a fire under right now). It is keeping the mist and sleet off the fire, so I am burning several old larger logs of soft wood (silver maple) that I had stored after removal of the 27 year old tree (used much of on the smoker), but the old logs don't burn too well (just burn a long time) and I supplement that with several spit logs of hard wood (purchased at the store). It was cold last night, and it is currently sleeting in North Texas so this design is keeping the fire burning. I have been around some of the solo-stove defectors, and I didn't like their design (you really can't cook anything on top), but the do a better job (I believe because they have 7" legs) of deflecting the heat toward the ground. It was a fun project, and I will continue to play"Test" it. I would recommend using shorter legs. Maybe Stainless Steel deflects better than Aluminum. Maybe I just need to have more people around the roaring fire to truly appreciate the materials and design (I have some hot dogs for roasting if it isn't too bad tonight). Thank you.

Great, that is what I was looking for. I also use pizza pan although 26inch as a lid for my Yukon 1. First perfectly, only thing I have to remove my ring and place it next to my fire pit for storage. I also purchased a wooden cart from harbor freight ( FRANKLIN18 in. x 12 in. 1000 lb. Capacity Hardwood Dolly) so I can easily move it under my patio cover. It was on sale for $10, I think regular price is $12. Works great.

I bought a bunch of pizza pans a couple years ago to use as Lids on pots because pot was so expensive I just use them on pots in the house or camping. I also have a short pair of hairpin legs that you just reminded me of that I could use I was looking for something like this and this is brilliant

This is an awesome idea and very well done. If you're concerned about stability, why not use longer legs and simply place the heat deflector on the ground (rather than the Solo Stove ring)? Also, the melting point of aluminum is 1200F. It's unlikely you will get your stove much hotter than 1000F, so the pizza pan won't melt. Stay warm and be safe!
