Know before you buy
The unique shape of the Vesuvius acts as a natural chimney, directing smoke and flames upward rather than outward. This design also creates a windbreak, which helps keep the fire contained and steady even on breezier evenings.
The fire pit arrives with a natural iron oxide finish that will continue to darken and mature into a rich, deep mahogany hue as it is exposed to the elements and heat. This process is a natural characteristic of the carbon steel and will not affect the structural integrity of the unit.
Yes, weighing in at 150 pounds and constructed from thick 1/4" carbon steel, the Vesuvius is exceptionally stable. It is built to withstand outdoor conditions without shifting or tipping.
The unit is designed with a 1.5-inch drainage hole at the base of the inner bowl. This allows rainwater to pass through easily, preventing standing water from accumulating inside the fire pit.
Because it is crafted from heavy-duty 1/4" carbon steel, this fire pit is built for longevity and is backed by a 10-year warranty on components. It is designed to be a permanent, heirloom-quality fixture in your outdoor space.
