Editorial Reviews:
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.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: outstanding Comment: This piece has been passed around my nieghborhood for quite some time. Everyone who has used it wants to keep it. I love the fact that it is portable, and we have cooked on it: Lobsters, Steak, Chops, It's all great! Just be sure you understand it's more of a social gathering place than a cook top. The logs take a long time to develop the coals needed to cook, however, that's the fun!!!! We love to watch football and stir the fire, and what a fire!! Do not use on a deck, and if you love your lawn, place some bricks under the pit. We love it! I am buying one for my friend. Good luck! Customer Rating: Summary: The Pits Comment: We followed assembly and use instructions and were fortunate to enjoy our Fire Pit for 1 1/2 years before it cracked where a wheel attached. My resourceful civil engineer husband made a repair using a metal bracket, which he thought would hold the thing together. We lent it to a friend for a party and were embarrassed to find that the pit cracked again, with both wheels falling off, and our friends felt terrible. I understand the rave reviews--early on--but I would be surprised if anyone has gotten more than a couple of years of use from one of these models. Considering all the other people's cracking problems, this seems to be a poor design to me. Customer Rating: Summary: CONVERSATIONAL ALL SEASON FIRE PIT Comment: I love outdoor fires for relaxation with friends, food and drink. This is a nice budget outdoor fire pit. I love the cast iron construction. We've had many 'raging fires' in ours but haven't tried cooking in it. To insure longevity, I purchased a cover to protect it from the elements. It's on wheels, so moving it is a breeze. I recommend it. Customer Rating: Summary: Sturdy Comment: My friends received this product as a gift over a year ago. I have enjoyed it vicariously through them until today when I ordered my own. I intend to cure the metal properly to avoid the cracking that other customers encountered. I think the cast iron construction is well worth the labor of love. My friends bring their fire kettle to a bi-annual festival that only allows contained fires. At the last outing, we had 20+ people enjoying marshmallows at our campsite! It is truly big and once cured, it will house a raging fire! I spent a lot of time comparing and can't find a more sturdy, versatile fire kettle than this one for the money. Customer Rating: Summary: this is a great purchase Comment: I have loved this since I received it. A bit tedious to put together but worth it once it's done. I have not had the cracking experienced by others fortunately. This is a great, deep pit that holds a lot of wood and allows you to enjoy the outdoors well into the early hours of the morning. The grill attachment holds a lot of food and works out nicely with the slot that allows you to keep adding wood without having to remove the grill from the pit. The only downfall was that on the first use the little hook that holds the handle and the handle itself blew out from the heat so that is no longer helpful but you can easily pull it around by the frame. No biggie but a better weld would have been helpful. This is one of my best purchases of the summer! Enjoy!
