Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Bringing the fun of camping to your own backyard, the portable fire pit and grill provides a delicious, smoky barbecue for cooking purposes as well as a large fire pit for small s'mores-making, company-warming fires. Constructed of sturdy cast iron, the unit features wheels and an extended oak handle for easy transport. The round smoke screen protects bystanders from the usual annoying effects of outdoor fires (sore eyes and sparks) and features a stiff iron hook that makes for nearly effortless lifting. Our only gripe is that the grate didn't form a perfect fit with our pit, though this didn't subtract from its functionality or good looks. Using poorly written but fairly obvious instructions, assembly took only an hour with a screwdriver. And, truth be told, even if the product weren't half as good as it is, it would still be irresistible to the rugged homebody.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool item... some assembly rqd, August 13, 2000

By A Customer

I own this item and wish I'd purchased it from Amazon (it's about $30 cheaper here).

In any case, it works well and is very "heavy duty". It also looks pretty good. It's about 2x as large as a std "Weber" grill and sits about half as high.

Assembly is a bit longer than you'd like, but tolerable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Outdoor Fireplace, June 20, 2001

By A Customer

We have had over a dozen very large fires and haven't had a problem. The key is that the iron needs to be tempered before having any large fires in it. To do this, light very small fires keeping the temperature low, and allow them to burn for increasingly extended periods of time. Gradually build increasingly large subsequent fires. Now that ours is tempered, I know this will last for at least ten years.
