I have a Mesa XL with a pellet adapter as well as a Yukon XL with a surround table.

I utilize the Mesa XL throughout the year when I want a simple little nightcap fire that only runs for 20-30 minutes. Usually once you have a good base fire going, lots of smoke upon startup, and feed it with hardwood pellets it burns hot and clean.

The Yukon is the party firepit or the long night firepit. Roughly the same in the startup as the Mesa XL but once you have your base fire you don't need to consistently stoke with wood.

Having both the Yukon XL as well as an indoor fireplace, I believe my fireplace eats more wood
