Solo Stove Mesa XL, 7 Inch Tabletop Fire Pit with Stand - Smokeless, Stainless Steel Fire Pit for Camping, Outdoor & Patio- Wood Burning or Pellet Fueled Portable Bonfire, 2.3lbs, Water

Bonfires usually involve a lot of wood and smoke, and take most of an evening. And then you have to be sure to put them out. I would never make a fire like that just for myself, but this little fire is something I can enjoy on my patio any evening as I watch the moon rise. It's also small and light enough to take car camping.The fire can get quite tall and boisterous, so I'm not sure about sitting closely around a table with it burning. I leave mine on the ground.The stove requires very little wood, produces hardly any smoke, and it can last anywhere from 20 minutes to all evening. After it burns down I put a pot lid on the stove to be sure it's done. It burns very efficiently and there is hardly any ash, so next day cleanup is easy.I bought a color that was very much on sale. Not my first choice, but having a fire in the dark you won't notice the color of the stove anyway.We have ancient trees where I live that frequently drop old dry branches, and now I can make good use of them. This was a very good purchase.

First time buyer, was hesitant to buy this small but it turned out good. I filled 1/3 with pellets and it lasted 20 mins- 23 mins which is not bad. Will try how long would it last with wood. But overall good stuff. The stand below, and air ventilation really helps stay cool on ground and fire burning good. Comes with bag, easy to carry while camping.Good for s’mores and chilly evenings.

Very cool little stove. It's a simple design and doesn't take up much space. Lots of fun for gathering around the back deck and enjoying s'mores with the kids without the hassle of building a large fire.Comes with a nice little folding stand. Easy to use and easy to store.

Good size. Think it will be a great addition to our small condo patio.

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?

Really a nice little fire pit. Great for cool evenings.

This mini size solo is great! Nice amount of heat, easy to use and clean up. Great on a cool evening. Used kindling size sticks and tried pellets too.

I'm not going to deduct any stars because we should be smart enough to know if something Burns wood, it is not smokeless. So come on, people get real. Use your head with that said, once you get this thing started. It is almost entirely smokeless, but one puff of smoke means it's not smokeless. For the people who can't figure that out. Let's just change the ad How about semi smokeless? With that said this thing is great. I even bought the bigger one afterwards.
