What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Funky Dog fire pit for its exceptional artistic design, noting it serves as a unique centerpiece for any outdoor space.

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 as it is exposed to the elements, providing a protective layer for the carbon steel.
While the fire pit is suitable for decks, you should always place it on a non-combustible surface like a stone or concrete pad to prevent heat damage to your decking material. Ensure there is adequate clearance from any overhanging structures or flammable materials.
The fire pit features a built-in drainage hole at the bottom of the bowl. This prevents water from pooling inside during rainstorms, which helps protect the steel and keeps the interior clean.
Given that the unit weighs 185 lbs and is constructed from heavy-duty 1/4" carbon steel, it is not designed to be portable. You should choose a permanent or semi-permanent location for the fire pit before assembly.
Yes, the Funky Dog fire pit is designed to be versatile. It can be ordered as a wood-burning unit or configured for Liquid Propane or Natural Gas, and the burner systems are built to provide high-output heating.
The Match Lit system is a manual ignition that requires you to light the burner with a lighter, while the All Weather Electronic Ignition (AWEIS) allows you to start the fire with the push of a button. The electronic system is more convenient but requires a power source for installation.
