The outdoor fireplace is well equipted with a rack and a trough. My one comment is that it rusted almost immediately and had to be spray painted with special heat resistent paint. We like the idea of an outdoor fireplace. It also looks very caldron like and midevil. Not very 2007.
More functional, and I would like to say practical, but the engineering in design isn't that good. All in all, not worth the $180 some odd money it cost.

I'll keep it short and sweet. This product is garbage. I purchased a vinyl cover to further protect the item, but it became a rust bucket and fell to pieces. The company's response: we'll send you $50. Nice. Don't waste your time & money. Keep looking.

I purchased this product to safely burn cuttings and branches from the woods on the property. To do this efficiently and safely, one needs to be able to remove the top to feed in the cuttings to the fire. It can be dangerous to open the side door because embers and buring logs can roll out of the fireplace. When this happens, one can get in the situation where you can't get the door closed back with burning material in the way.
I purchased this unit to replace a similar model from a different company that I had used successfully for years. It just rusted out over time.
For this Uniflame unit, the problem with feeding from the top is that the top is designed to bolt down to the wire-framed side walls. In fact, the top holds the frame walls in place. The side frame is far to flimsy without the top in place. One has to provide additional bracing to hold the side frames togther.
As such, the unit is a big disappointment to me and I would not buy this brand again. There are other fireplaces of this general size and appearance on the market where the top can be removed for safer burning.

Looks nice but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. My husband took it over for a cage for his pet squirell. It works out just fine for that!!
