- Add Fuel:
- For Wood: Place small, dry pieces of wood into the fire pit. Ensure wood pieces are small enough to fit entirely within the fire pit to promote efficient burning and minimize sparks.
- For Pellets: Fill the fire pit with wood pellets up to the internal vent holes. The Mesa XL includes a built-in pellet adapter for this purpose.
- Ignite Fire: Use a fire starter (e.g., a fire starter briquette or natural kindling) to ignite the fuel. Place the fire starter on top of the fuel and light it carefully.
- Enjoy the Fire: The Mesa XL's signature 360° airflow design promotes a smokeless burn once the fire is established and the unit heats up.

- Adding More Fuel: As the fire burns down, carefully add more small pieces of wood or pellets as needed to maintain the flame.
- Heat Radius: The Mesa XL provides a localized heat radius of approximately 2-3 feet, ideal for tabletop ambiance and warmth.

Maintenance and Care
- Cool Down: Always allow the fire pit to cool completely before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
- Ash Removal: Once cool, carefully empty any ash and unburnt fuel. Dispose of ash responsibly.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild stainless steel cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
- Storage: When not in use, store the Mesa XL in its nylon carry bag in a dry, protected area to prevent weather damage and prolong its lifespan.
- Material: The fire pit is constructed from durable 304 stainless steel, designed for longevity.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive Smoke | Wet or unseasoned wood; too much fuel; insufficient airflow. | Use only dry, seasoned wood or quality pellets. Do not overfill. Ensure air intake holes are clear. Allow the fire pit to heat up for the secondary burn to engage. |
| Difficulty Starting Fire | Insufficient kindling; wet fuel; poor fire starter. | Use ample dry kindling and a reliable fire starter. Ensure fuel is dry. |
| Fire Goes Out Quickly | Lack of fuel; small fuel pieces burning too fast. | Add more fuel as needed. For wood, ensure pieces are appropriately sized for a longer burn. |
