  • In this video, I review the Solo Stove Mesa XL after 1 full year of use. Since I was getting the campground ready for the camping season and also preparing my personal gear, I figured I would share my experiences so far with it. This stove is an easy grab for car camping, canoe camping, motocamping, and around the house.

    Thanks for the great review my dude! I was considering one of these and i think this might have just pushed me over the edge

      Absolutely. I know that the cost is right at the threshold of "should I or shouldnt I". I dont know anyone who has been upset about the purchase. I use mine all the time. Being that its tabletop safe, It practically lives on my deck.
      For wood prep, I use my chainsaw and cut logs into short 6" lengths. Then split with a hatchet.

    Great review! Wondering what surfaces it's safe to use on? Looks like you're using on a plastic folding table?

      Its a tabletop firepit. As long as its on the stand you can use it anywhere. You can even pick it up and move it. As long as you are grabbing the bottom.

    Thanks for review. Would it keep 4 people sitting around it warm? I have the larger one, and its a bit much for short usage. This seems like it may be a bit better for short usage but worried it doesn't put out much heat.

      It does not put out a huge amount of heat. They do make a heat deflector that works decent. This stove isnt really ment to put out heat. It is ment more as a tabletop ambiance fire pit that can also be used to cook small snacks on. I would not purchase this with warmth as a goal.

      @@LuckyLoonOutdoors Thank you! Looking for a small fire pit to have in backyard to heat the Mrs and I up at the end of day that doesn't need to burn for 2-3 hours. Propane ones are a bit too big and bulky. Hoping a small table top will work.
      Also have a tempered glass table so not sure how much that sucker can stand.
      thanks again for quick reply!

    I’m on the fence with a Mesa XL and a Ranger. Not sure which one I should go with. My first impression is the Mesa XL might be a little small, but also that the Ranger might be a little big for what I’m looking for.
    Have you ever tried the Ranger model?

    • @LuckyLoonOutdoors
      @LuckyLoonOutdoors  Před 25 dny +2

      I have not tried the ranger. The mesa XL and Ranger are meant for 2 different roles. the Mesa is really meant to be on a tabletop and used more for ambiance. The ranger is meant for ground level and as a legit smallest size regular use firepit.
      You will have to be honest with yourself. would you prefer an awesome tabletop firepit or a small regular style firepit.
      If you can answer that, I think you should be good to go.

    Are there any producers or seller of bamboo pellet in the USA?

      no idea. With the abundance of other wood options in the U.S. I am going to guess no.
