    The media could not be loaded.

    So let’s address the elephant in the room here. These genuine Solo Stoves are expensive for what is essentially a metal pot to burn stuff in.

    However, they are very well made, of high grade stainless steel, and shouldn’t rust to pieces if left outside or stored in damp conditions. The secondary burn system works brilliantly as long as fuel isn’t added beyond the upper vent holes and the steel ring is put in place at the top, funnelling the airflow for maximum efficiency. I’ve got a number of these in various colours, and the finish is amazing, the coloured coating hasn’t discoloured as I feared it might, and they are a cinch to keep clean. Tip it upside down and shake out any ash, any uncombusted wood or pellets that won’t come out will just get burnt next time you use it.

    The little stand is a nice design, as it fold up allowing storage inside the Mesa stove. The legs snap out into place with a reassuring click and the whole set up is solid once the stove is placed on the stand. This negates the worry of your tabletop being charred, although if I was using in a valuable table or a surface I wanted to protect, I’d just set the whole thing on a spare large ceramic tile, slate, or granite chopping board.

    One tip, before you use it for the first time, clean the upper ring with some sort of spirit alcohol such as methanol, methylated spirits etc, so remove any greasy finger marks. The first burn with turn the ring a darker colour and give it an individual patina. Any marks will be burnt onto the metal, so be warned.

    Now let’s be honest, these things (standard Mesa, not Mesa XL) are dinky. It’s about as wide as a large thermos flask, and half as tall. You are not going to get much wood in it, and unless you’re snapping twigs by hand to get the right length, it can take a bit of prep work to get the right length pieces.

    I’ve used standard kindling bought in the plastic bags at the hardware store. The pieces tend to be just too long for the stove and will poke out of the top. This breaks ‘the first rule of Solo stove club’ which is ‘you DO NOT allow your fuel to surpass the upper vent holes, repeat YOU DO NOT…’

    Whilst this isn’t an insurmountable problem, as the wood will eventually burn down some and drop lower, since you are constantly adding fuel, every five minutes or so at least, you will seldom if ever have the smokeless flame you wanted. If you have a table saw you could process your own half sized lengths of kindling, or try to find shorter pieces from a different shop. Ideally no more than around 3.5 inches long.

    Or you can do what I do and just buy a 15 litre bag of wooden cat litter, scoop a large mug of the pellets and drop them in. Place a firelighter ON TOP of the pellets and light. It’s important with pellets to burn from the top down, as these gasification stoves will suffocate themselves if you try lighting at the bottom.

    It can be a challenge to get the pellets to take a flame, but I cheat with bits of old candle wax (crush a finished tea light container and some flakes of wax crumble out) or the wrapper from Baby Bel cheese. A blob of barbecue lighter gel will also help. Don’t use a think spirit like methanol, petrol etc as the cat little will do what it’s designed to and soak up the liquid, swelling into a damp pulp which won’t burn too well, as you require airflow between the pellets. A fill of pellets will last between 25 and 45 minutes depending how full you load it. Some people like to have a cup of extra pellets and load small amounts using a long handled spoon, but overall it burns nicer in one go, then empty and refill. The waste for the pellets can build up and clog the airflow making it just smoulder if you keep adding them.

    Using wood or sticks it’s not burning downwards in the same way, so sticks can be added almost indefinitely or until the base fills with ash and needs a shake out.

    These stoves are designed primarily as a table decoration, to provide a centre piece and create an ambience. Don’t think you can buy one of these and toss away that propane patio heater. The larger fire pits that sit in the ground are intended more for this purpose. Don’t get me wrong, these things do kick out a fair bit of heat, but it all shoots directly upwards and very little reaches you if sat more than a foot away. To overcome this downside, Solo offer a heat deflector accessory, which is eye-wateringly expensive for what resembles a shallow colander on legs.

    I will probably end up buying one if a good sale comes up, but in the meantime I’ve had limited success with my home made versions (cue A-Team theme 🎵)……

    What didn’t work:
    1. Rolled stainless mesh tube (as spacer) with metal pizza cooking tray on top. Flames came straight through and no tangible difference in radial heat.

    2. Old rusty colander I had lying around ear the BBQ (is it just me?) which refused to stay out and released some vile smells ( probably an unlucky baby slug or some spider eggs)

    3. Stainless steel? (Or so I thought) drinks tray about a foot diameter, again placed on 4” mesh ‘chimney’.

    This was the best in terms of heat deflection, but again a weird smell and burnt patch on the tray made me cease the test, as I fear the tray may have some kind of plating? Or maybe just more slugs….

    Anyway, get yourself one of these and have some fun. I will mount mine on the floor and sit in front of it with a beer on cold evenings before coming in to eat. A half hour burn, listening to an Audible book and watching the hypnotic flames. Perfect!

    We have this on our table on the back patio, and it is perfect! It puts out a good size fire for such a small stove. AND NO SMOKE! We can sit at the table, feel the heat, and eat without smoke in our face. Absolutely worth the price!

  4. Madeline Rotolo

    Y’all, as a back-porch-sittin’ lover, this tabletop Solo Stove is one of our favorite items we own! It is a great size, perfect for using beneath the cover of our porch, and simply delightful to have around.

    My husband and I got this during Prime Week and are so pleased with our purchase. The size is great for putting atop a table— we even bought a marshmallow toasting kit to go with it. I love how portable it is. If we choose to go camping and abandon the warm confines of the patio, it slips neatly into the carrying bag it came with and loads up nicely for a quick get away. Compact, yet makes a good, solid flame for marshmallow toasting and gazing all mesmerized into its glorious, warming flames.

    Fun fact: we love it so much that we’re gifting it to my folks for Christmas in green.

    Sitting outside around its fire is one of my favorite pastimes.

    I absolutely love this little fire pit. I find myself using it about 3-4 times a week. It’s amazing how little smoke it produces when properly used. I chopped up little 1 by 1 stakes from a box hardware store and they are perfect except that they burn a little fast. I’ve now started chopping up little pieces of oak firewood and they burn much longer. Nothing beats listening to music, having a little fire and drinking some bourbon at night.

    A Compact Gem for Small
    I recently purchased the Small Solo Stove, and I’m thoroughly impressed! The quality, visual appearance, and performance exceeded my
    Sturdy construction, durable materials
    Visual Appeal
    Sleek design, attractive appearance
    Performance
    Efficient burning, minimal smoke
    One Minor Drawback:

    Size
    While the 6x6x6 dimensions are perfect for small patios, larger spaces might find it too compact

    Overall

    The Small Solo Stove is ideal for intimate gatherings or small outdoor spaces. Its compact size and efficient performance make it a fantastic addition to any patio. Highly recommended!

    Great little fire pit for a table or small area. Works really well and produce very little smoke when 2nd burn is going.

  8. Paul Dupuie

    It is a nice size for the back porch area. It isn’t going to produce much heat but does produce a great atmosphere. It is lightweight and very portable. Easy to clean and flame last for about an 45-60 mins without adding more fuel. Will be great for summertime camping when warmth isn’t really needed.

    The media could not be loaded.

    I opted to use both pellets and mini logs to get it started with a squirt bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol ready as an accelerant or re-ignition as needed (if done correctly, you will not need the alcohol often).
    First, line bottom with 3-4 handfuls of pellets, then 3 mini logs laying down in parallel. Ignite.
    Once unit is hot and a thin bed of coals are present, adding fuel and fuel ignition should be easy. Try not to add fuel when not sufficiently hot enough to ignite, otherwise there will be smoke!
    Do not over fill! Do not block air holes! Unit is somewhat hungry for fuel and attention (I personally do not mind since I see it as “caveman TV ;)), but understandable for its size and efficiency. Using both fuels allows for more control in flame size and burn time. Overall excellent product and design!! Planning on getting other products from company!!

    Side note: heat diverter may smoke until properly seasoned.

    Disclaimer: Do not place in enclosed porch unless properly vented for smoke and heat. Also have fire safety and precautions ready in case of incidents.

    ENJOY!

    Der kleine Solo Stove Mesa XL macht einfach nur Spaß und funktioniert einwandfrei. Entsprechend geschnittenes und getrocknetes Holz sollte vorhanden sein. Am erstaunlichsten ist, dass es unter dem Behälter nicht heiß wird und den Tisch beschädigt.

    The fire pit claims to be smokeless but it’s nothing but smokeless.
    There is a lot of black smoke coming out when kindling and starting the fire. At the normal burn, there is a lot of smoke coming out, have to move away. I tied to capture it with in the image.
    I’ve seen a smokeless pit with fan, it makes so little smoke that it was designed to be used inside.

  12. Steve

    Makes a lovely flame and throws out a considerable amount of heat and like advertised little or no smoke, however the instructions do not say how to put the fire out. If one does not want to babysit this thing for hours on end, how in the world do you put the fire out? Five stars it deserves except for this one flaw. I tried smothering it with a metal plate. What a mess that made, and to no reasonable effect. The instructions say don’t douse with water. The same reasoning would apply to a fire extinguisher, too dangerous and could splatter the burning contents, so what’s left?

    My wife bought the mini fire pit for me for Christmas last year. I thought it would be worthless, but I was dead wrong! It was the best gift I ever had! Thank to my sweet lady for this wonderful gift. I lives in the city where there is no fireplace allowed and a big heavy fine. So, this is perfect. It’s sat on my picnic table, easy fired it up, and watch the flame soar high and dance away in the air. Wow! No smoke at all! And I even can feel the warmth came from it. Beautiful! We had a Fourth of July back yard party and my oldest son know I have one so he grabbed it and set it up. My whole family love it, they keep added more woods to it and still enjoyed it for hours! I never thought my whole family hooked to the mini fire pit that quick! Two months ago, I bought Mesa XL so I can give my first mesa to my grandson for his apartment with smallest back yard. He and his girlfriend loved it! She said it was the best fire pit she ever enjoyed it every time my grandson lit it up. He said it fit perfectly in his back yard and always bring it in once it was completely cooled. They don’t want any of his next door neighbors take it and use it. Even their landlord loved it too! They are very protective about their mini fire pit. I thought it was odd but hey! We all love Mesa and Mesa XL! One time last spring, I took it with me to my brother country home and set it up on the low end table. Once I got it going, my brother freaked out! He said it like a blow torch in there. I laughed so hard. He never thought the flame would shoot high and dance away. He find it interesting. He asked me, did they make a big one too? I told him yes!
