I have one and a bonfire. The Mesa xl puts off some heat. If you plan on using it for warmth I would get the heat deflector. I use mine when I’m shoveling snow to go warm my hands up but mostly we use it so my daughter can make smores on it. Answer from Jreez on reddit.com

r/SoloStove on Reddit: Mesa xl worth it?
April 13, 2024 -
My wife thinks the table top pits are cool but how much practicality is there. Are they actually warm on a cool night?

They kick out heat. You have to feed it somewhat continuously. It depends on your expectations. I like mine, not necessarily for heat, but for ambiance that happens to also kick out some heat.

April 13, 2024Mesa XL interest
I got a Mesa XL a few months ago and it was my first and only Solo Stove product. I've loved using it so much, even though it's pricey it has allowed me to light up a little bonfire anytime I want to have some ambiance for reading or to quickly roast marshmallows with my niece and nephew. Even brought it over to a friend's house to do a little s'mores roast. So transportable, easy to use, and since it doesn't use a ton of fuel it's the perfect little fire pit IMO.

The regular is very small. I bought one last year and wish I had waited for the XL. More on reddit.com

February 20, 2023Advice for Mesa XL
One thing that has worked for me is relighting the smoke coming out of the mesa with a stick lighter. I've used this trick when wind gusts have killed my fire. More on reddit.com

July 26, 2023What are some of the other differences between Mesa and Mesa XL?
Mesa XL has a pellet capacity of about 3x more than Mesa, and will subsequently burn for about 15 minutes longer (45-60min total with pellets). It will also emit more heat while burning, due to more fuel being consumed. Both Mesa and Mesa XL are very easy to light, will have about the same flame height when burning, and are extremely portable and functional for your outdoor spaces!

Why doesn’t the Mesa XL come with a pellet adapter?
Current models of Mesa and Mesa XL no longer include a pellet adapter. Instead, it uses a dual fuel grate that can accommodate both Mini Firewood and Pellets.

January 9, 2025 - Having tried both models, I think there is a clear winner. However, the price tags of $80 and $100 for the two sizes respectively might not be as appealing. Is it worth spending your money on this fire pit? Continue reading my Solo Stove Mesa XL review to find out.

Solo Stove Mesa XL Tabletop Fire Pit Review: A Perfect Tabletop Fire Pit for a Quick Fire
July 21, 2023 - It features the same smokeless tech as Solo’s full-size stoves but in a compact body. It’s also a fun piece to have on hand to set up the kids to roast s’mores rather than light a large fire. It’s the perfect size to place on an outdoor tabletop and simple enough for older kids and teens to safely fire up with minimal adult supervision. The Mesa XL with the accessory kit makes a wonderful gift that an entire family can enjoy; it’s also a good pick as a present for anyone who’s hard to buy for.
