    Solo Fire Pit

    Because my unit is smaller, I have only needed one starter to light wood. I ended up needing two to start the pellets the first night. I tried again last night but this time I only fulled the canister half full. One starter worked fine and it was flaming in 3-4 minutes. I have a feeling the...

    It Fits!

    Seth, I'm getting vibes of Cowboy Kent Rollins. Are you available for hire? ;)

    Solo Fire Pit

    I burned the pellets last night. A few thoughts... They took longer to get started than real firewood. 30 minutes vs 3 to 4 minutes. Once they did start flaming the fire ran longer without me needing to feed it more often. That was nice. However, you have to be careful adding more pellets to...

    Solo Fire Pit

    Sweeney. I just bought a bag of these hardwood cooking pellets (20lbs - $8) to try. Pit Boss 20lbs Bbq Hardwood Pellets : Target I believe they are better quality (cleaner and possibly burn hotter?) than the 40lb $6 bags made just for heating. I'll be trying them in my little Mesa XL tonight...

    Another Option For A Refrigerator

    There have been (maybe still are?) companies out there offering a fridge with built in battery but I forgot who they were. The Kickstarter pricing is nice if you want to go down that road. I did once and got soured rather quickly, although I did receive a full refund. I'm not really sure...

    Solo Fire Pit

    The varying park rules do make it difficult to keep up. But if the park does not specifically outlaw bringing your own, look into buying kiln dried hardwood to bring with you. Kiln dried will kill all pests as well as help the wood burn better. I recently received my Solo Mesa XL. Due to its...

    Wiring A Jeep Tj For Towing

    There’s a waterproof type of electrical tape I would recommend to use over the connectors after you solder them. I used it when I had to splice my power cord. The guy at Home Depot recommended it and Cary agreed it’s the best for keeping a dry connection. I did then tape over all the connectors...

    Wiring A Jeep Tj For Towing

    I’ve never had to try backing up in the dark. But I’m not sure the lights really matter. I’m way more concerned about keeping it in the fairway and not hitting the obvious stuff on the sides. LoL I think I only added the backup lights because they were one of the cheaper options and, well, who...

    Wiring A Jeep Tj For Towing

    Yes, the reverse lights are wired into the 7 pin on mine as well. Not that it much matters since you can turn them on manually.

    Wiring A Jeep Tj For Towing

    Since you're just using it to add lights and turn signals wouldn't it be the same amps that you Jeep lights and signals use? Probably 20amp?

    Solo Fire Pit

    Don't see why they wouldn't work. Kiln dried hardwood. Great price too. I've only got the tabletop Mesa XL (still awaiting shipment), but I ordered these from Home Depot to try...https://www.homedepot.com/p/2-lbs-Oak-Smoking-Wood-Chunks-07SW00273266/318077784 When I go to pick those up I'm...

    Solo Fire Pit

    It’s a good thing you added this one because I was gonna tell you it was way too shiny looking. lol :D The little ones come in colors as well as stainless. I order the ash color.

    Solo Fire Pit

    I want to see some video of you guys firing those babies up. My little Mesa XL doesn't ship until next week. I'm working on trying a few different wood sources.

    What Is Your Best Tip For A Long Trip?

    Living in SoCal, I always have to navigate major traffic out and back on any trip. But at least I do have an excellent knowledge of the roads, lanes to be in, and traffic patterns. I always try planning departures and arrivals at the best times. For years (even before the CI) I would plan...

    Solo Fire Pit

    I'm really only interested in using it to maintain some heat outside before retiring for the evening. Traveling by myself, I really can't deal with the time and effort to maintain a nice big campfire for one. I bit the bullet and ordered a Mesa XL today. https://www.solostove.com/en-us/p/mesa...

    Solo Fire Pit

    I’m looking at one of those table top models as a possible small outdoor heater. Anybody have any thoughts about that compared to a Mr heater buddy? I can see some pros and cons going either way.

    What Is Your Best Tip For A Long Trip?

    I always make sure I get gas just before pulling into the campground if I am leaving first thing in the morning. If I'm staying longer and the car gets unhitched then I'll just get gas the night before leaving. When I brought my trailer home form Wisconsin I spent 3 weeks getting home and made...
