Celebrate National S’mores Day with the Solo Stove Mesa XL

National S’mores Day arrives August 10, giving everyone a perfectly reasonable excuse to eat melted chocolate and marshmallows for dinner.

You could microwave them indoors, but that misses the point. A proper s’more needs a real flame, a slightly overconfident marshmallow roaster and at least one person who insists that burning it completely black is the correct technique.

The Solo Stove Mesa XL Tabletop Smokeless Fire Pit and Solo Stove Roasting Sticks provide everything you need to bring the tradition to your patio, campsite or next backyard gathering.

Not every s’mores night needs a full-size bonfire. The Mesa XL brings the atmosphere of an outdoor fire to smaller spaces, with a two- to three-foot heat radius that works well for close gatherings.

Its Signature 360° Airflow system creates a hotter, more efficient secondary burn while nearly eliminating smoke. That means less time dodging clouds and more time arguing about the ideal marshmallow color.

Other helpful features include:

1. Compatible with wood pellets and Solo Stove Mini Oak Firewood
2. Built from durable 304 stainless steel
3. Fires up in less than 10 minutes
4. Lightweight and portable for outdoor gatherings
5. Includes a folding stand that nests inside the pit
6. Backed by a lifetime warranty

The included stand elevates the Mesa XL and helps protect the surface underneath. Always follow Solo Stove’s placement and clearance instructions and use the fire pit outdoors in an open area.

The Solo Stove Roasting Sticks come in a four-piece set, so everyone gets a turn without passing around one sticky skewer.

Their dual-pronged design helps keep marshmallows, hot dogs and other food securely in place over the fire. Each stick also twists apart for easier storage when the chocolate is gone and nobody wants to handle cleanup.

The real benefit is distance. You can roast comfortably over the flame without sacrificing your eyebrows or dropping your marshmallow directly into the fire.

The process is wonderfully uncomplicated:

1. Set up the Mesa XL outdoors on its included stand.
2. Add compatible wood or pellets and light the fire.
3. Place a marshmallow on a roasting stick.
4. Roast it to golden brown, or charcoal, if that is somehow your preference.
5. Sandwich it between graham crackers and chocolate.

Keep children supervised around the fire and allow the Mesa XL and roasting sticks to cool completely before handling or storing them.

National S’mores Day only comes once a year, but nothing says you have to put the fire pit away on August 11. Grab the Solo Stove Mesa XL and Roasting Sticks, gather your favorite people and prepare for a night of melted chocolate, questionable roasting decisions and very sticky hands.
