Know before you buy
No, the finish is designed to be maintenance-free. It will naturally darken to a rich mahogany hue over time as it is exposed to the elements and heat.
The fire pit features a built-in 1.5-inch drainage hole at the bottom of the inner bowl, which allows rainwater to pass through easily and prevents standing water.
Yes, weighing in at 250 pounds, this fire pit is substantial and stable. Its heavy-duty 1/4-inch carbon steel construction ensures it will remain securely in place once positioned.
Because this is a wood-burning fire pit that reaches high temperatures, it is recommended for use on non-combustible surfaces like stone, concrete, or brick. Placing it directly on a wooden deck is not advised due to the risk of heat damage or stray embers.
Each piece is individually handcrafted by artisans in Tennessee, ensuring heirloom-quality construction. The unique numbering signifies that your fire pit is a one-of-a-kind piece rather than a mass-produced item.
You should use seasoned, dry hardwoods like oak, maple, or hickory for the best results. Avoid using softwoods or treated lumber, as these can produce excessive smoke and sparks.
