Know before you buy
At 40 pounds, the unit is substantial enough to remain stable on a patio or deck while still being light enough for one or two people to move. Its freestanding design is intended for flat, level surfaces.
The 304 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant and requires very little maintenance. Because the bowl features built-in drainage, you simply need to keep the burner area clear of debris to ensure the gas ports remain unobstructed.
The match-lit system is a manual ignition method where you turn on the gas valve and light the burner directly with a long-reach lighter or match. This simple, mechanical design is highly reliable and avoids the common failure points found in electronic igniters.
The burner is configured specifically for either natural gas or propane at the time of manufacture. You should select your fuel type during the ordering process, as converting the system later requires a professional-grade orifice change.
With a 200,000 BTU output, this fire pit provides a significant amount of warmth, making it ideal for larger outdoor spaces or cooler evenings. It is much more powerful than standard residential fire pits, which typically range between 50,000 and 80,000 BTUs.
Each Fire Surfer is hand-built by artisans in the USA, and the unique serial number serves as a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship. This ensures you are receiving a bespoke, heirloom-quality piece rather than a mass-produced item.
