Solo Stove 9" Mesa XL Fire Pit

Made s’mores on Halloween plus enjoyed a little more warmth that evening

This thing is great! I took it to a recent family gathering and my 80 year old mother-in-law made her first S’more — and then had a second one! The heat deflector helped keep everyone around the 4’x4’ toasty and everyone was impressed by the quality of the Mesa and the S’mores kit components. We burned a mix of small hardwood chunks and pellets, and there was no smoke, and almost no ash to clean up afterward.

I was a little nervous buying, it turned out to be perfect for just me and the dogs! I love a good fire on a cool night on the deck and this is perfect! Only downfall, wish I would have gotten the diverter for the warmth.

I was a little unsure if this stove would pump out enough heat for a small group. I was pleasantly surprised it did. It’s really perfect for night hanging out on the patio. I’m lucky to have an abundance of dry brush and branches on my property so I just use loppers and/or a small saw and cut 6-8 inch logs. 20-30 sticks pretty much does the job. This is more convenient than a larger traditional “fire pit” as it takes up less space and managing the wood is much easier. I love this little stove.

We love our stove! We couldn’t believe it stayed cool underneath it and still gave out wonderful heat! pPerfect for a picnic or camping!

Love our Yukon stove. We have only used wood pellets so far as our area is very dry due to the drought. Love the option to burn wood or pellets. Optional pellet adapter is worth purchasing!

Fun, warm and movable. Would recommend.

I have the tabletop Mesa xl- perfect size for us. Cleans and stores easily.

I have both the Messa XL and the Ranger I use pellets in both. I find it to be less work and more enjoyable. Having them both be smokeless has truly been a Blessing because I do have COPD lung disease, and now I can sit out and enjoy the fire pit, whether it be in my backyard or on my deck.

Great little stove! Burned with pellets and burn time was longer than expected.

We love it and use it all the time. Thanks Solo team !!

Don’t buy this product! False advertising has you thinking it’s much larger than it actually is.

Really impressed by this little stove. Its perfect for a last minute small fire!!

We have had a Mesa XL for a few years and love it. When my sister in law and her husband saw ours they bought one to keep in their camper as well. Recently I bought one for my daughter and she loves it. She really likes the idea of being able to take her Mesa XL with her down the creek or the lake and sit near the water with her own little fire.

Our daughter and her friends love having s’more so this product is perfect

We love the stove using wood, but when using wood pellets it is basically a fill it once and then done. We have the Mesa size. We were initially excited that to be able to use wood pellets because we wanted to use it while camping. Because of restrictions on taking wood to another state and the small size of wood that the stove takes, we thought pellets would be the answer. However, a load of pellets burned up very quickly and then when more were added, they smothered the burning ones and then the stove turned into a great smudge pot, smoking up the whole camp site! We got it burning again and even trickling in the pellets it became smoky and took too much attention to try to keep boing that we just gave up. Some folks across from our site had a larger version of the stove and in talking with them, they too had the same experience when they tried to use pellets. In the future when we go camping we will just pack along some chunks of kiln dried wood and avoid the pellets.

It’s super hard to sustain a fire with pellets. Small wood is better but it all requires a lot of attention to the fire to avoid choking or running out of fuel. Cute but not practical by any means.

I have enjoyed using my solo stove so far. It seems very well built, and is much easier to use than a traditional log fire. Works well with pellets. It doesn't put out a lot of heat so it's good for warm weather use. Take up very little room when in the box so it's super portable. Thanks for the great Father's Day price.

Our family LOVES pizza, especially with homemade dough and tomato sauces. The kids ask to come over and have their friends participate in building their own pizzas. Not to mention how my Solo oven was a hit during football season. I clean the stones and the inside of the oven after every occasion. I would ask that the design be enhanced so that the top could be removed for cleaning. Another suggestion is enhancing the design so that the flame is on three sides of the oven and possibly detenting the gas valve a little more so the flame isn't so blazing high when in the low setting. That would especially help so that the oven would not have to be constantly tended, and the pizza constantly turned. This leads me to one other enhancement consideration. A slow, auto-rotating stone! It would alleviate the 95% surveillance and provide a more uniform result. After using my Solo pizza stove for a year and a half, I have to say it has been a grand investment in comradery building, culinary prowess, and plain ol' fun. Thanks Solo Team

We recently purchased the Mesa XL and traveled from the East Coast to Alaska, USA and Yukon, Canada for a camping road-trip vacation. The Mesa XL can fit in its box in a bookbag for airline's "personal item" bag size and easily slides under your seat. TSA requires that the stove be clean of debris, but security made no comment to us about the stove in any of our security checks. We were then able to use the stove in campsite fire rings and on our picnic tables at every campground we visited. We had also purchased the heat deflector, and we packed it in our luggage. It too would have fit in a bookbag in its box, but we wanted to save space and didn't want it to be damaged. The Mesa XL kept us warm in 40 degree weather, and we didn't have to worry about purchasing expensive camp wood because we could just pick up small sticks off the ground at every camp site and a small pile of sticks would last for several hours. The cherry on top was the fact that our fires were smokeless, and so we didn't spend our trip smelling like campfire! The stove then wiped up easily for our flights home. I highly recommend the Mesa XL! It's so nice to have a stove for use at home or for camping when you don't want to go to the trouble (and expense) of starting a large smokey camp fire and then waiting for it to burn out and be dosed safely hours later. Want a fire that will keep your family toasty for just an hour; then this is your product! Want a fire that will last all day; the Mesa XL can do that too! Thanks for creating this fun take-and-go smokeless stove!
