Often after I’m solo tenting I don’t construct a hearth as a result of it simply seems like overkill and many work. I both have to purchase a field or two of wooden and haul it round with me or accumulate downed wooden, then construct the hearth, are likely to it because it grows, solely to lastly sit round it for a short time earlier than going to sleep after ensuring it’s out, or can wait till the morning however then I’ve to place it out, and so on.
Sometimes you simply need somewhat fireplace, for somewhat bit. Enough to roast a marshmallow, to throw sufficient mild to learn a guide, to heat your fingers. All that may be true at house too, within the yard, when your three-year-old says, “dad, can we have a camping fire tonight?” and it’s like 20 minutes earlier than mattress however you’ll be able to’t resist her little smiling face.
That’s what the Solo Stove Mesa is for. It’s somewhat tabletop fireplace pit solely 7 inches excessive. It has the identical smokeless design as greater choices from Solo Stove and the identical spherical form. It can burn sticks or wooden pellets.

I’ve used mine typically whereas tenting or sitting within the yard when the youngsters are asleep, getting some studying carried out by firelight, sanity meter slowly rising. It’s an ideal little unit and really easy to pack in a automobile. I’m wanting ahead to bringing it on snow journeys this winter, to heat our fingers between sledding runs, toast some marshmallows to drop in scorching chocolate.
