Wow! You're coming out with a whole heap of content right now, loving it. I actually had one of these on the way a little while ago, not sure what happened with it so I'll look to be making sure I get one on the way, because this is perfect for me and exactly what I want. I have biolite camp stove that I like using for cooking that's a similar style, but I want something separate for a fire pit
Thank you!
I love mine also!
Hello, from Florida USA! Great review and I just received the Mesa XL and have been impressed! Like you, I use wood, but I've seen videos on the pellet use as well. . . . .burns just as nicely as you described! Keep up the fine work!
I’m in South Florida, and it’s pellets all the way.
I use a stick of wood a few inches shorter than what you are using. It appears that when you place your sticks in the Mesa, they are a bit taller than the holes on top. You should avoid that, especially if they're touching the sides AND taller than the holes.
Thanks for the great review, I agree, these are really nice stoves!
I understand they make a heat shield for this which will add to its value.
I just made my own charcoal grill. A bit heavy but 6years and its still going strong.
I love fires
Same!!! Love it!!

The XL burns longer and better, would be a nice addition to the smaller one.
that's it, i'm ordering one!
Love your videos brother! Can you please please review the east oaks table top fire pit and the yefu table top fire pit?
I've got the Eastoak one on the way, i'll look into the Yefu as well for you.
Will try this with Swedish Torch style burn, using hardwood chunk slightly thinner and shorter than inside volume, split into quarters. Nice job presenting 1 & 2.
Did it work?
Probably try it in February; central NYState frozen right now🥶@@TheMidweekEscapeArtist
Ive got the xl - using pellets - the first burn is great but then trying keep a good flame and burn after the initial one has waned is a complete pain the ass - too few and barely anything happens to many and its suffocates it.
i have the small mesa. love it.
Are you gonna buy the xl?
@@TheMidweekEscapeArtist They just told you that they love what they have!!!! Go away with your sales pitch!!
I bought one 2 months ago and love it, but now I see they came out with the mesa XL which intrigues me.. might have to cave in and buy one
I had no idea. Bigger isn’t always better but I’ll check it out! Thanks for telling me!
I bought the mesa first before the XL came out, then I wanted an upgrade so I bought the campfire (also before the mesa XL came out). The small mesa is ok, but I do like the campfire better. It can hold bigger pieces of wood, and more of it, and it burns longer.
What’s the table it’s sitting on?
You have to start any burn with these stoves from the top down. This is science and fact. You’ll get longer, more even burns.
I use pellets in my WalMart Ozark Trail clone (a bit larger than the Mesa/different configuration/), and it’s always the same 1-hour even burn.
I understand why people use wood, but with the pellets, you just start it and forget it. No need to add extra to get that full hour.
Great review! I just ordered 2 - the original Mesa and the XL - to compare sizes.
Do you have any recommendations of pellets and wood chunks to use?
I’m jealous! I highly recommend hard wood chunks, unless you have time to manage the fire every 5 min or so with pellets
Love the video that you made I was wondering do you know what the outside temperature gets to on the fires burning good but low in there? While it’s burning can you pick it up or is it too hot? I thought about putting vinyl sticker on there didn’t know if it would burn it up
Hi! It does get hot, i wouldn’t put any stickers on there, they will melt.
@@TheMidweekEscapeArtist ok thanks they guy I was talking to said if it stayed under 500 degrees I might be able too. He was wanting to add a vinyl logo
Really appreciate the follow-up review! Could you share how the Mesa is for heat? How close would you sit to have warmth from it?
Thanks!
Keep it lower than your torso and crank it! Plenty of heat!
Looks like you have soft wood in it ? Have you tried hard wood ?

Jimny lover . have you sold your Jimny?
I use anything I can cut down to the right size. Hard wood burns longer. I have yes, it was time for a change for me.
Can you test warmbond mini it can use more types of fuel and maybe it's a better alternative with mesa xl
@@jaimegots1983 burnt my table underneath the unit. No thanks.
@@jaimegots1983 I’d steer clear
you carry those small wood blocks with you on camping trips?
Only when I’m car camping. Otherwise I use collected firewood and cut it up.
Any chips? I have the stainless steel option but hate having to clean it all the time. Thank you in advance!!
Absolutely nothing. ;-) it’s still perfect!
@@TheMidweekEscapeArtist Thank you!! And thank you for the video.
Christmas is coming..they have them at Costco now….3 of them for $149.
Wow! I might stock up!
Does it soot up the bottom of the pots
It would if you put the pot on too early.
have you tried putting hardwood into the mesa solo stove?? @ the midweek escape artist
