FAQs
Can I leave the fire pit outside all year?
Yes, it is designed for year-round outdoor use; however, covering it during long periods of non-use can extend its lifespan.
Do I need tools to assemble it?
No, the stand is designed for minimal, tool-free assembly.
Can I use this on a wooden deck?
You must place a large stone slab or a heat-resistant fire pit mat underneath to prevent heat damage to the wood.
How do I clean the ash out?
Once the fire pit is completely cold, simply scoop out the accumulated ash using a metal shovel or brush.
Will the rust stain my patio?
As the unit weathers, minor staining from rust runoff is possible if left in the rain. Using a stone slab base will mitigate this risk.
How heavy is the unit?
Because it is made of solid cast iron, it is quite heavy, which contributes to its stability and heat retention.
Troubleshooting
The fire pit is wobbling on my patio.
Check that the stand is fully assembled and seated correctly. If the surface is uneven, use thin stone shims under the feet of the stand.
I see orange-brown patches forming on the surface.
This is expected; the cast iron is naturally weathering to a rusted patina, which does not affect the functionality of the bowl.
The fire is difficult to light.
Ensure your fuel (wood or charcoal) is completely dry, as moisture prevents proper combustion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your fire pit is straightforward: simply attach the provided stand to the bowl following the included manual. Ensure the ground is firm and level before placing the fire pit. To maintain the structural integrity, avoid using water to extinguish flames, as rapid cooling can cause cast iron to crack. Always let the fire burn out naturally. While the rusted patina is a natural part of the product's life cycle, you can occasionally wipe the exterior with a light coating of vegetable oil if you wish to slow the oxidation process or keep the finish looking uniform.
