Know before you buy
The natural iron oxide patina is designed to be maintenance-free. It will darken and evolve into a deep, rustic color over time when exposed to the elements, and it does not require painting or sealing.
The fire bowl features a built-in rain drain at the bottom to prevent water from pooling inside. While the drain is effective, using the included blocking plate can help keep debris out, and a cover is still recommended if you want to keep the interior clean and dry between uses.
Yes, the bowl is constructed from thick carbon American steel and weighs 80 pounds. Its substantial weight and sturdy standard base provide excellent stability, making it very unlikely to shift or tip in typical outdoor conditions.
Because this fire bowl sits relatively low to the ground and generates significant heat, it is not recommended for use directly on wooden decks or combustible surfaces. It is best placed on a stone, concrete, or non-combustible patio surface.
The blocking plate is used to cover the center rain drain hole when you want to contain ash or embers during a fire. It allows you to enjoy a contained fire without debris falling through the drain.
Ohio Flame’s lifetime warranty covers the structural integrity of the steel bowl. It guarantees that the product will not rust through or fail under normal outdoor use, providing long-term peace of mind for your investment.
