Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Round Firepit is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to extend their outdoor living season with a reliable and stylish heat source. Its primary benefit is the combination of a deep, wood-burning bowl that provides significant warmth and a striking copper-effect finish that acts as a modern centerpiece for any patio or deck. One notable caveat is that as an open-fire product, it requires careful placement on non-combustible surfaces and should never be used on wooden decking without a proper heat-resistant mat or barrier.

FAQs
Can I use this fire pit on wooden decking?
No, it is not recommended to use the fire pit directly on wooden decking as the heat can char or ignite the boards. Always place it on a non-combustible surface.
What kind of wood should I burn?
Use seasoned, dry hardwood. Avoid burning softwoods like pine, as they can cause excessive popping and spark production.
Does it come with a cover?
This model does not include a cover. It is advisable to purchase a generic fire pit cover to protect it from rain when not in use.
How do I clean out the ashes?
Once the unit is completely cool, use a small metal scoop or shovel to remove the ash and dispose of it in a metal bin.
Will the copper-effect finish fade?
Like most outdoor metal finishes, heat and exposure to the elements may cause gradual changes in appearance over several seasons.
Is it safe to use in a small garden?
Yes, provided there is adequate clearance from fences, plants, and sheds. Ensure there is plenty of ventilation.
Troubleshooting
The fire pit feels unstable on the ground
Check that the base is on a level surface. If the ground is uneven, use stone pavers underneath to create a flat, steady foundation.
Excessive smoke production
Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood. Green or damp wood creates heavy smoke; switch to kiln-dried logs for a cleaner burn.
Signs of surface rust appearing
Lightly sand the affected area and apply a high-temperature heat-resistant paint to touch up the finish and protect the metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward and requires standard hand tools to connect the bowl to the wired base. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely before the first use. For compatibility, only use this fire pit on non-combustible surfaces like stone pavers, gravel, or brick. To care for your fire pit, always ensure the fire is completely extinguished and the bowl is cool to the touch before attempting to remove ash. Store the unit in a dry place or cover it with a waterproof outdoor furniture cover during the off-season to prevent rust. Avoid using water to extinguish the flames, as the sudden temperature change can cause the steel to warp or crack.
