If you purchase the traditional stainless steel option, you will notice a unique patina develop over time as you would on our traditional fire pits and camp stoves. Made with high-heat ceramic coating, Mesa’s color will stay vibrant and resist patina for years to come. The Mesa XL also boasts a slightly longer burn time than its predecessor, as well as the ability to impart more heat from its flame.

ADD A POP OF COLOR TO YOUR TABLE TOP MEAL EXPERIENCE: Mesa is a tabletop fire pit that adds warmth to the table and is ideal for urban and garden settings.

The Mesa first went on sale in the summer of 2022; it’s available in the traditional stainless steel finish of Solo Stove’s other fire pits. Its Dual Fuel capability lets you use pellets or Solo Stove Mini Oak Firewood, whichever you prefer. Inspired by our popular Solo Stove Fire Pits, the Mesa XL comes in a compact design and can be used on your terrace, balcony or on the road.

Using line up tabs means it is easily removed to add larger pieces of wood or reloading your mesa XL with pellets.

The Mesa XL incorporates an innovative Dual Fuel Grate, which enhances its versatility and performance.

I really want to get one for my house while hanging out for tailgates etc but I can’t make the decision. But just because it has a big flame, don’t expect the Mesa or the Mesa XL to act as a tabletop version of one of the best patio heaters; it doesn’t really kick out a lot of heat.Both the Mesa and the Mesa XL look like a mini version of Solo’s full-size fire pits; a cylinder of steel with a series of perforations along the bottom.

Once the fire is going, it roars like there is no tomorrow – great for heat, not so much for managing fuel. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. It also makes an excellent gift for someone who likes spending time in their gardens or is into car camping. Through the bottom vent holes of MESA, rising hot air is drawn in and distributed throughout the fire.I thoroughly enjoyed our marshmallow-cooking sessions on the balcony and will continue to melt squishy white puffs of joy using the Mesa Xl going forward.
