Solo Stove Mesa XL Tabletop Fire Pit with Stand | Low Smoke Outdoor Table Top Fire Pit | Fueled by Pellets or Wood, Stainless Steel, With Travel Bag, H: 21.8 x D: 17.8cm, 1 kg, Silver

I purchased the Mesa XL after reading lots of positive reviews. Myself and my children enjoy a fire in the garden and also when out and about at the beach etc with their friends, using our current portable fire bowl. It has a carry bag, but is still big and bulky for me to carry along with other things. This one will be just great for us due to its size and how light it is. I was so excited to try it out, but as it was very windy I set it up at shed door with the doors opened. I used 4 small pieces of kindling wood and a Log Barn natural firelighter just to test it out. It was smoky for a very short time before quickly turning to a nice flame with no smoke. I wasn't going to be topping it up as I was only trying it out to see what it was like. The video is after 10 minutes. After 15 minutes there were still some flames but not as much. After 20 mins there were no flames but could still feel a good heat when hands placed above. It didn't actually go out till about 30 mins after it was lit. I was quite surprised considering I only used 4 small pieces of wood. I'm looking forward to using it, especially when kids want toasted marshmallows. Quick light up and they'll have them more or less right away as it's so quick and easy. I will likely order the heat deflector for it at some point.

Great stove, brilliant for camping. Value for money, great heat

Excellent little stove. Burns well, easy to use.

In still conitions the solo stove emits a really fantastic candle like flame that traps and recirculates smoke. Despite the XL name it is small and is usable on a table top. In a breeze it can be a bit smokey, the same as any fire, but overall its a great solid peice of kit that gives off a fair bit of heat. It's a single piece of steel and as such should last for many years. Its easy to deal with the resulting ash as there is hardly anything left due to the way it works. I love it.

Have now used this a few time and the family have enjoyed several smores sessions. It is smokeless, although produces a little smoke on start up, but you would expect that. I use pellets and you will use a fair amount. Produces a fair amount of heat, but if there is a slight breeze it will impact who get the heat. Its size is great for a standard outdoor table

I love the look of the ceramic coating, we chose Ash. The heat is gives off is fab. Very warm and enough for 4 people sat around. Took it camping with us and was ideal.

Lightweight and works extremely well. Really well engineered

This is great for cutting down on smoke when having a fire. The heat could be felt by everyone sitting round it. It does burn pellets and wood fairly quickly but probably comparable with usage of bigger fire pits given its size.
