I can confirm the mesa xl for RVing is a perfect size for heat and cooking. The campfire model accessories fit the mesa xl version.

A jetboil will boil water faster than not only a solo stove or open fire, but also most other gas powered cookstoves. The Solo Mesa is intended for ambiance, roasting s'mores or hot dogs, and a bit of hand warmth when it's chilly out. At least that's my impression; I have both.

I have the camp version and you can find twigs and small wood pieces almost everywhere. Gas maybe not so rofl

You can buy the titan solo stove replacement cooking ring and it fits on top of the mesa ....works great

How do you cook on the animal

The solo is a table top fire pit, not a stove per se. Put an X support on it and it would be awesome. You can make one in 5 min with some sheet metal and a hack saw. Just cut a kerf half way through the center of both and cross lap them. It'll still be sooty, because it's designed for the ambience of a nice soothing yellow smokeless flame. I'm not sure, but it would make sense that the actual stoves they sell would be designed a little differently so they would burn more efficiently for a cleaner cooking experience.

The area you are in looks so beautiful and fun. Great place for a solo stove fire!

Thanks! I’m lucky to live in a beautiful part of the US!

You can even put an alcohol burner to cook with on days it snows, rains, hails, or icey days. :)

I got the Titan. Sticks are better than pellets for me. I got the put it fits inside. I like it so far. I think this will be good for preppers. Gas bottles might be hard to find.

Yeah, I bought some pellets but definitely prefer twigs. The pellets are fine for the first burn but once you start adding to it it kinda smothers the fire.

5:20 I always thought it worked like ... The Gases from the wood, are released and the bottom holes push air and the gases up to the top holes...and you get a secondary burn...

@forestadventureswithscott8777 Жыл бұрын

I believe you are right. I ordered the cook top for the Titan to be able to boil water on the trail. I’m convinced it will work better.

@@forestadventureswithscott8777 very nice. looking forward to viewing your updated video on its workings.

the solo titan pot /pan piece of the solo titan fits perfectly on top of the solo messa which in makes this a camping stove. the ring does not.

@melissahoffman4687 Жыл бұрын

You can even put a canister burner inside the mesa stove. It will mimic a windscreen.

Ahhh, thanks for the tip.

You can even put the canister burner inside a wood gas stove too. The Titan stove. :)

I have a Mesa also and love it. I wish it came with a ring to put pot or pan on. I’m also curious about the lite

@forestadventureswithscott8777 11 ай бұрын

You can purchase the cooking top of the Titan and it fits the Mesa!

@ek7675 Жыл бұрын

I never saw the mesa as anything but a tabletop fire pit. I don’t think it’s marketed as a cook stove. Is it?

@forestadventureswithscott8777 Жыл бұрын

Actually it’s pretty good if you purchase the Titan cook top. The way I tested it in this video isn’t ideal until the mod.

Have the Walmart Backpack $39.00. Works flawlessly. Half the price.

@forestadventureswithscott8777 4 ай бұрын

I got a great deal on the 511. Yes, it was more than $39 but I was able to buy it local from an independent dealer. I’ve had cheaper backpacks in the past and over time the stiching and/or zippers always fail under heavy use. The old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ definitely applies to heavy use outdoor gear. But I say, get what you can afford. The main thing is to just be out there!!
