FAQs

What are the dimensions of the fire pit?

The product size including the stand is H 23cm x D 50cm. The stand itself measures H 15cm x D 42cm.

Can this fire pit be used on a wooden deck?

It is best to use a protective mat or a stone surface underneath to protect the deck from heat. Direct placement on combustible materials like wood is not recommended.

What type of fuel can I use?

This fire pit can be used with either wood or charcoal.

Does the cast iron rust?

Yes, the cast iron will naturally develop a rusted patina over time through natural weathering. This is considered a desirable characteristic that enhances its charm.

How do I assemble the fire pit?

Assembly is minimal. You simply need to attach the detachable stand to the bowl before use. No complex tools or steps are required.

How should I clean the fire pit?

Allow the fire pit to cool completely, then empty the ash. The detachable stand can be removed to aid in cleaning the bowl. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Can I leave this fire pit outdoors year-round?

The fire pit is designed for outdoor use and can withstand the elements. However, covering it when not in use will help manage the natural rusting process and extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Fire pit won't light or maintain a flame.

Ensure you are using dry fuel (wood or charcoal) and have adequate ventilation. Check that ash has been cleared from the previous use. Start with smaller pieces of fuel and gradually add larger ones.

Uneven heating.

Distribute the fuel evenly within the bowl. If using charcoal, ensure it is spread out. For wood, arrange logs to allow for good airflow.

Difficulty cleaning the ash.

Remove the detachable stand to gain better access to the bowl. Use a small shovel or brush to collect ash once the fire pit has completely cooled.

Concern about the natural rusting process.

The rusting is a natural characteristic of cast iron and enhances its appearance. To slow the process, ensure the fire pit is dry after use and use a protective cover when not in use or during damp weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Minimal assembly is required. Simply attach the detachable stand to the fire pit bowl before first use. Ensure the stand is securely in place.

Compatibility:

Fuel: Compatible with both wood and charcoal.
Placement: Can be placed on patios, decks, lawns, or other outdoor surfaces. It is highly recommended to use a protective mat or place it on a non-combustible surface like stone to protect the underlying area from heat and potential ash.
Environment: Designed for outdoor use. While it can be left outdoors, covering it when not in use will help manage the natural rusting process.

Care:

Cool Down: Always allow the fire pit to cool completely after use before attempting to clean or move it.
Empty Ash: Once cool, carefully empty the ash from the bowl. Dispose of ash safely.
Cleaning: The detachable stand can be removed for easier cleaning of the bowl. Wipe the cast iron with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh detergents.
Storage/Protection: For longer periods of non-use or to manage the rusting process, cover the fire pit with a suitable cover. Storing it in a dry place when not in use is also an option.
Rust Patina: Understand that the cast iron will naturally develop a rusted patina over time. This is a characteristic of the material and enhances its appearance. If you wish to slow this process, covering the fire pit is recommended.
