Know before you buy
No, the iron oxide patina is designed to be maintenance-free. It is a natural finish that will darken and evolve over time when exposed to the elements, requiring no painting or protective coatings.
While the fire pit is freestanding, it is constructed from 1/4" thick carbon steel, which gets very hot during use. We recommend placing it on a non-combustible surface like stone or concrete, or using a heat-resistant fire pit mat to protect your decking.
The fire pit features a rain drain at the bottom to prevent water accumulation. To clean, simply scoop out the cooled ash periodically using a small shovel or ash vacuum once the unit is completely cold.
Yes. Each piece is individually handcrafted by artist Rick Wittrig and features his signature. Because they are made by hand, there will be subtle variations in the metalwork and patina, ensuring your unit is unique.
The lava rocks are provided to help distribute heat more evenly and provide a stable base for your wood. They also help improve airflow beneath the logs, which promotes a cleaner, more efficient burn.
Built from 1/4" thick carbon steel, this fire pit is designed for extreme durability and longevity. It is backed by a 10-year limited warranty, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its ability to withstand year-round outdoor exposure.
