Solo Stove fire pits are anticipated to be some of the top gifts for men this year with a great lineup of exciting outdoor products. But Solo Stove’s best gift idea right now isn’t even one for the backyard—it’s made for the table—and it’s up to $60 off during Amazon’s ongoing Black Friday sale, which runs through Cyber Monday.

The Solo Stove Mesa Tabletop Fire Pit is the ultimate mood setter. It’s a miniature fire pit suited for small dwellings, apartments, and condos. Right now, it’s on sale for as low as $70—46% off the original price of $130 for a total savings of $60. This cool little fire pit is the third-ranked bestseller on Amazon in the outdoor fire pits category, trailing behind only one other fire pit unit (a larger Solo Stove). It’s holding down a 4.5-star average rating after more than 1,300 ratings overall.

The Solo Stove Mesa is a compact version of the brand’s iconic fire pits and is used for everything from ambiance to s’mores nights. It stands at 6-by-6-by-6 inches and weighs less than 1.5 lbs. and is the ideal size for apartment balconies and terraces that otherwise would be too small for (or have regulations against) regular fire pits. The cylindrical stainless steel fire pit runs off wood or pellets and includes a nylon carrying bag for easy transporting as well as a stand for safe burning. Like other Solo Stove fire pits, the Mesa is smokeless.

A smokeless fire pit seems hard to fathom, but it all has to do with the unit’s special design, what the brand calls its 360° Signature Airflow. Essentially, holes at the bottom of the cylinder allow cold air to efficiently carry oxygen to the fuel source which, in turn, helps push heated air up and out of the stove’s double wall design to create a second burn that eliminates the potential for smoke.

Many of the reviews are from gift givers and recipients who have been utterly thrilled by the addition of this compact fire pit to their homes. One gift recipient admitted they originally thought it was a terrible gift but came around very quickly after trying it.

“I thought it would be worthless, but I was dead wrong. It was the best gift I ever had,” they said. “I live in a city where there is no fireplace allowed and a big heavy fine. So, this is perfect. It’s sat on my picnic table, easily fires it up, and we watch the flame soar high and dance away in the air. Wow! No smoke at all.”

Another reviewer detailed how using their Solo Stove Mesa has been a fun bonding experience with their kids. “We love this mini bonfire,” they said. “We cut up fallen tree limbs and sticks in our backyard and they burn for a while… We roast marshmallows often and it is much safer for my little kids than a big fire would be and it’s less work! I have been recommending these to everyone.”

Whether it’s intended as a gift for your kid, a gift for a parent, or even a white elephant exchange, the Solo Stove Mesa Tabletop Fire Pit is sure to turn heads and warm hearts, literally. With temperatures dropping, these are expected to get hotter as we get deeper into the holiday season. Pick from three colors and get it for $70 while the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale is still live.
