We purchased the fire pit for use in the Southern Arizona High Desert. A major consideration is fire safety. The screened cover for the top is heavy, fits well, and keeps the sparks in the pit. The animals outlined on the side of the device are also totally screened. We have used the pit several times now with just my wife and I as well as to cook and roast marshmallows with visitors. The grill fits very well and food cooks quickly. We burn only mesquite wood, cut on our property. The pit drafts very well and I start the fire with just one wadded full sheet of newspaper. Charcoal lighter fluid is unnecessary. The fire burns well, the sparks stay behind the screens, and ash dust is all that remains after it burns out. The animal outlines on the sides of the pit are just beautiful in the darkness. The pit is large enough to provide a warm and beautiful fire without approaching its considerable capactiy. The poker that comes with the unit is heavy and works well. The pit itself comes almost totally assembled. Attaching the legs is the only thing required. When you want to move the unit, the rail around the top remains cool and makes it easy to reposition it.

My wife and I are very pleased with the firepit and highly recommend it.

This is a great product which has expanded the use of our backyard and created fun family time. There's nothing like roasting marshmallows to bring all ages together. I especially enjoy this design because the fire is completely contained. I'm confident in leaving the fire without dousing it with water.

- Good size for small backyard fire.
- Cut outs add to aesthetics.
- Works well as a BBQ with a fairly large amount of charcoal. Small grilling jobs are better done on a smaller BBQ.
- Fit and Finish is good but not excellent. The protective ring around the top does not line up cleanly leaving a small gap. Otherwise sturdy and well made.
- I appreciate the added depth compared to what some other brands offer. Allows for a satisfying size fire.

I recommend this item.

I have had this item for 2 years, and it still very sturdy. Does great out in the weather. Glad I didn't put a in gound fire pit, you just pick this one up and take the fun with you.

From the moment I opened the box I realized how well made this item is. Packaged neat and properly and all the pieces fit together perfectly. It is made from heavy sturdy material and my experience tells me it will last for many years. Cooked dinner on it the first night we got it and the grilling grate is a terrific bonus. Then added wood to the coals and enjoyed a long night of fire. The extra depth adds both a level of safety and it also helps tremendously with drafting to keep the fire going. The cut out allow tons of air to feed the fire. It is a nicely made, decent sized fire pit that was worth the money on the first time using it. I highly recommend!

This was ordered to actually go into our deep fireplace inside our home since it is an odd shape and we have not been able to find mesh or glass curtains to fit it and for custom work to be done would have cost thousands. We ordered this product in the Sun and Moon design and have had fires in the fireplace and it works very well for us. It keeps all the sparks inside the pit and the smoke goes straight up the chimney and is beautiful. The build is great, very solid. It comes so you screw in the legs and put the handle that goes around the pit together and that is it for construction. LOVE it.

I just bought this item and had some friends over the other night. It was chilly outside and so we started a fire. This thing works great! I like it because it is deep and it holds pretty large pieces of wood. It looks nice, and seems to be well-made, although the ring on the outside was a little off.

I will probably use this a lot, and I hope it lasts a long time. The poker that came with it is strong and very handy!

This was my 2007 Father's Day gift, given a few days earlier. I put it together on Friday night, it went together easily. It needed 5 pounds of sand for the bottom (instructions say for insulation below and for protection of the metal from the corrosive ashes). Got the sand on Saturday, a newspaper (best use for all the bad news) a small bundle of wood and small bundle of kindling, Aim-n-Flame and away we go. Had a very nice fire on the back patio last night after a tough day of rolling out sod to repair our back lawn. Wife and daughter had marshmallows. Brings home that family camping experience in our backyard. Great product.

My husband loves this. It was supposed to come after christmas, but was delivered before. He saw it, but he really enjoys it.

I bought this fire pit to take with me camping and to use at home. It is built well and was easy to assemble. Very cozy to sit by on a cool evening. I didn't think it worked very well as a grill. The coals are a little too far away from the grill to put out enough heat to cook the burgers. Might be better if I had used more coals. It was perfect as a fire pit and had lots of room for wood.

I purchased this firepit from Amazon because they were much cheaper than where I live. In addition the model we were interested in was not available here. Set up and assembly were ok; because of one of the reviews I was expecting some difficulty but it went together in less than 15 minutes. We have used it three times so far and are pleasantly surprised at how well it burns. Because of the cut-outs there is plenty of draught for the flames. We bought this for cool autumn nights and another grandchild magnet; it's great for smores. I'll update this review after the pit has survived a winter.
