This dual-fuel Mesa XL firepit is the perfect gift for Dad and it’s $20 off

Solo Stove Mesa XL dual-fuel firepit for Father's Day
Solo Stove

You can do a lot with a firepit. You could roast some marshmallows and smores, cook a few hot dogs, or cozy up to the warmth, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a cold night. Understandably, a lot of Dads out there love firepits. But maybe they don’t have enough room in the yard or can’t safely maintain a fire in the local area. The Solo Stove Mesa XL is the perfect answer to all those challenges. It’s a smokeless, dual-fuel firepit that can burn firewood or pellets. It takes just minutes to light up — put your fuel in and go. Moreover, it even comes with a stand and nylon carrying bag so you can take it on road trips, camping, or visiting friends and family. Did we mention it’s $20 off now, down to $80 for Father’s Day? It sure is, and it’s available in a variety of colors, too.

Why you should buy the Solo Stove Mesa XL stainless and smokeless firepit

Offering a signature 360 degrees of airflow all around the unit to produce a smokeless fire that still burns hot, the Solo Stove Mesa XL runs on two types of fuel: wood or pellets. Anyone can light a fire; you don’t have to be a pyromaniac to make it work. Just set up the stove, add your fuel, give it a light, and away you go into the blissful land of warmth and fire.

This stainless steel system comes in a carrying bag, which makes it easy to pack up, stow, and go. If you’re going camping or visiting somewhere, you can bring it to have a nice little fire just about anywhere. The stand also keeps it off the ground, giving the pit a nice solid surface to rest.

With wood pellets, you can expect a burn time of about 45 to 60 minutes for each load. You can also use firewood up to a maximum size of 7 inches. You won’t be loading this thing with full-size logs, that’s for sure.

Honestly, one of the coolest features is that the pit comes in a wide variety of colors, from bright red and green to blue. You can get Dad his favorite color, pick up some fuel on the side, and have him ready for Father’s Day weekend. Why not save a little money in the process? The Solo Stove Mesa XL is $20 off at Best Buy, down to $80 instead of its usual $100. Please don’t sleep on this deal. It’s a good one. And don’t forget to pick up some fuel!

Why Spokane is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most underrated outdoor destinations
Spokane is high luxury, but it's interconnected with the outdoors
View from the Numerica Sky Ride in Spokane

I've lived in Washington State for a couple of years now, but I'm still unpacking all of the great places to stay and visit. There's so much to do in the Evergreen state, and during my recent stay in Spokane, I can definitely say that there are a lot of high-end luxury experiences too. From high-end hotels like the Davenport Collection and eateries to some of the best wines in the state, you might be surprised to learn that Spokane is actually a top destination for nature lovers, too. Here's everything you need to know about the wilder side of Spokane and why you should consider coming here during your next vacation.
Outdoorsy things to do in downtown Spokane

This city is a particularly unique place because the town was built around the Spokane River. This is a gorgeous ribbon of blue that's full of waterfalls, eddies, and streams that wind their way through the city. The best place to see this is in downtown Spokane, specifically at the famous Riverfront Park.

Looking for adventure and culture? This city is the best in the world for urban hiking
Here's the world's #1 city for outdoor lovers
Rio de Janeiro

As an outdoor enthusiast, one of the top things I look for in a travel destination is proximity to the outdoors. I'm certainly not averse to pitching tents, but sometimes it's nice to mix in a bit of urban excitement to my travels. Sports Shoes, a UK running retail brand, just completed a study that analyzed the top urban areas for hikers on break. My personal favorite hiker-friendly city is Seattle, which squeaked in at number 12. The number one spot goes to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The winner was decided through two primary variables: the number of hikes in the area and the average rating and reviews of those hikes. This was averaged out into a hikeability score out of 100, and the only one to get a perfect score was Rio de Janeiro. With a total of 334 hikes averaging a rating of 4.8 stars, this city is officially the world's number one urban area for hikers.

Everything we know about the Airstream Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian Limited Edition Travel Trailer

Many of the features and design elements in this one-of-a-kind, 28-foot travel trailer are classic Airstream. But it also features a few firsts. Most notable is the dual-purpose lounge/sleep area anchored by a pair of twin beds that convert to a king (the largest bed ever in an Airstream) with the push of a button. Exclusive bolster pillows, tailored slipcovers, and quilted coverlets round out the space. The front lounge also transforms seamlessly between dinette and desk as needed, making this a true live/play/work travel trailer. The entire interior is awash in daylight thanks to 29 total windows—more than any other Airstream in history.
