Solo Stove makes some of the best smokeless fire pits, including the Ranger, Bonfire and Yukon backyard fire pits. But if you’re looking for something a little smaller, it also makes a line of tabletop fire pits, including the Mesa and Mesa XL. Both come in several color options, including traditional stainless steel. 

I started off using the smaller Mesa, but when the Mesa XL was subsequently released, I moved to the larger version of the mini fire pit (pictured on the left) because it looks and feels a little more substantial while remaining compact. (As you might expect, it does produce a bigger fire with a heat radius of 2 to 3 feet compared with the Mesa’s 1 to 2 feet.) 

As its name implies, the Mesa XL is designed to sit on a tabletop and is quite portable. Naturally, you could also set it on the ground, but when you put it on a table, it’s at a good height for comfortably roasting marshmallows. It has the same 360-degree Signature Airflow system as Solo Stove’s larger fire pits.
