Just use the fire starters, no need for the pellets. The tumbleweed type work great.
I've used the tumbleweed starters and they worked great as well.
You have blocked the air flow thru the bottom? So it smokes at first till the pellets burn away enough to finally let air thru the bottom
I haven't experienced this when using the top down method of burning the pellets, even when I use mostly all pellets. Also the mix of wood chunks with pellets allow for the airflow is what I've seen. When I was trying to burn from the bottom up it would smoke more so I adapted to this method to lessen the smoke.
How has the black paint held up, any cracking from the heat?
Honestly, after a few burns it was perfectly fine. I eventually returned the mesa and went with the campfire instead. However, now that they have the Mesa XL, I wish they had this option when I was replacing it. I wanted a bigger Mesa.
@@TonysTipBits I assume that's talking about the 17", 21", and 29" models. Did you notice any increase in the amount of smoke with the larger size? Was it harder to clean?
Sorry about that, I was confused on which video you may have watched because I did one on the solo stove mesa. So far with a season of burning i would say probably about 10 burns. The paint has pretty much been intact and I have not experienced any chipping. The bigger sizes I'm not familiar with. As long as you keep the wood or pellets underneath the secondary holes then the smoke is pretty manageable or not as detectable.
Also cleanup is a breeze although I do find that the tray holding the ashes has sort of warped. So far it has not impeded any burns but something to note.
No offense, but you've absolutely CHOKED that firepit with pellets. Pellets, fire starters, acclerant (hand sanitizer), lol
You don't NEED all of that.
Goes to clean ashes, shakes them literally EVERYWHERE... LOL
Yeah definitely some lessons learned since then. Glad I could get you to laugh though LOL.
