Know before you buy
No, the Iron Oxide Patina is designed to be maintenance-free. It is a natural oxidation process that protects the steel, and it will continue to darken to a rich mahogany color over time.
While the fire pit is freestanding, it is recommended to place it on a non-combustible surface like stone, concrete, or brick. If you must place it on a deck, use a heavy-duty fire-resistant mat underneath to protect the surface from heat transfer and stray embers.
The 1.5-inch drainage hole is primarily designed to prevent water from pooling in the bowl. While some fine ash may fall through, you should still scoop out the bulk of the cooled ash manually after use to maintain proper airflow for your next fire.
Yes, weighing in at 130 pounds, this fire pit is substantial and stable. Its heavy-duty 1/4-inch carbon steel construction ensures it will remain securely in place on your patio or garden without tipping.
The inner coating provides an extra layer of protection against the intense heat generated by wood fires. It helps preserve the structural integrity of the steel bowl, ensuring the fire pit maintains its heirloom quality for years to come.
