Sunnydaze 36-Inch Northland Steel Outdoor Fire Pit
Score: 76/100
Solo Stove Mesa XL 7-Inch
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Solo Stove Mesa XL is a tiny tabletop fire pit that delivers a smokeless burn thanks to its 360° airflow and offers dual-fuel flexibility in a ultra-light package. Its 7-inch bowl and sub-hour burn time limit heat for bigger parties, and it lacks a gas option. Ideal for balconies, patios or small gardens where portability and low smoke are paramount.
Sunnydaze's 36-Inch Northland fire pit combines a wood-burning fire pit with an integrated grill and a full accessory set for versatile outdoor cooking. It lacks an ash drawer and carries a Prop 65 warning, which may concern some users. Great for families seeking a multi-function pit on a patio or backyard.
