Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 36" fire pit the right size for my backyard?
For most homeowners, yes. The 36-inch diameter provides plenty of room for larger fires while fitting comfortably in the majority of backyard patios and outdoor seating areas.
How many people can sit around it?
The 36-inch size works well for family gatherings and comfortably accommodates several chairs around the fire, making it a great choice for entertaining.
Will it rust?
The natural carbon steel develops a protective rustic patina over time. This weathered finish is intentional and adds character without affecting the fire pit's strength or longevity.

*Fire Pit Care & Maintenance*
Built to Last :
Our handcrafted steel fire pits are designed for years of outdoor enjoyment. They are made to withstand the elements and can be left outdoors year-round without compromising their structural integrity.
Natural Patina :
Over time, your fire pit will naturally develop a rich patina as it is exposed to weather and heat. This weathered finish is a normal characteristic of raw steel and adds unique character to each fire pit. The snuffer lid is also made of steel and will develop the same natural patina over time.
After Each Use :
- Allow the fire pit to cool completely before handling.
- Remove excess ash once the fire pit has cooled.
- Empty accumulated ash periodically to help maintain proper airflow through the bottom drainage holes.
Weather Exposure :
Our fire pits are designed to remain outdoors in all seasons, including rain, snow, and sun. The drainage holes in the bottom of the fire pit allow water to escape, helping prevent standing water from collecting in the bowl.
For the Best Burning Experience :
For the cleanest, hottest fire with minimal smoke:
- Burn only dry, seasoned hardwood.
- Avoid green or wet wood, which produces excess smoke.
- Build the fire gradually, allowing it to establish before adding larger logs.
- Keep the drainage/airflow holes clear of ash and debris.
Cleaning :
No special cleaners are required.
Remove ash as needed.
If desired, wipe away dirt or debris with a dry cloth or brush.
Do not paint or coat the fire pit, as the natural steel finish is intended to weather over time.
Storage :
No indoor storage is necessary. Your fire pit is built to be enjoyed outdoors throughout the year.
*Please Note*
The natural color of raw steel will continue to change with exposure to fire and the elements. Each fire pit develops its own unique patina, making every piece one of a kind. This is expected and is not considered a defect, but rather part of the beauty and character of handcrafted steel.
