 Great patio fireplace September 5, 2010
Ed Jones (Worthington, OH USA)
I had shopped around for a patio fireplace for a couple of years. I didn't like any of the ones sold in the chain stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Target, Sears, etc.). They were poorly built and looked like they would rust out quickly. The more quality built ones were too expensive for what essentially is just a fire ring. I stumbled across the Weber Wood Burning Fireplace and after a little research purchased it. Like all things Weber, it isn't the most flashy or even the best but it is well designed, sturdy, and should last for years. We have used ours once and I will share a number of observations and comments on previous reviews.
First, the small aluminum bowl underneath the fire bowl is not an ash catcher. It is a heat shield. This fireplace should not be used on a wood or composite deck. We have a brick patio and it is safely used there.
Second, where we live (Central, OH) there is no need for a screen around the fireplace. Perhaps in more fire prone areas it would be a good idea, but then again, should you have an open fire in those areas? For my uses a screen is not useful or needed and would just make adding fuel more difficult.
Third, to the commenter who said the fireplace is too smokey, it's the green wood you burned that produced the smoke, not the fireplace. I used well seasoned wood as anyone should and it produced about as much smoke as one would expect.
Fourth, you do not need to use the lid but there is one major advantage to doing so when the weather is cool: the lid helps direct heat down rather than allowing it all to rise quickly. In other words, it keeps more heat down at chair level when you're sitting around the fireplace.
Fifth, the lid does indeed smother the fire quickly. The lid is just tight enough to smother the fire. That's a huge plus since it means you don't have to wait until the fire dies out on its own to go inside. Nor do you have to douse the fire with water to put it out. In the case of this product, I'd recommend you don't do that anyway unless you want to ruin the porcelain finish.
Sixth, it took about 30 minutes to assemble. Even though the handles are wooden, you will still need heavy gloves to move the lid out of the way and move the riser. I have the 2010 model and the handles are sturdy and solid.

Good firepit. Looks nice. too smokey...wish it had a screen. as with all of these products, don't leave it in the rain/snow.
the bottom part is not an ash catcher! put water in there to prevent the heat from scorching your deck (which can happen with other firepits...which must be placed on a nonflamable surface like concrete, tile, brick, or rock).

I bought this wood burning fireplace this year and am very impressed with it. The lid comes in handy to snuff out the fire when done, it allows the bowl to stay dry, and it keeps animals away from any residual food if you cook on it. I have purchased a "Rome's #123 Camp Ring Grill Grate" at 24 and 1/2" which fits exactly in the steel lid holder. It sits either high towards the top or low towards the bottom on the screws. I purchased four cheap spring clamps and my grate adjusts to any hight by simply moving them up and down the four verticle posts and placing the grate on them. The bowl accepts fairly large logs. Don't forget to add a layer of sand to the bottom per the instructions to protect the enamel. That instruction is not easily seen. Time will tell how long it lasts but it seems pretty sturdy.
Good fire kettle! July 15, 2010

Good fire kettle, easy to assemble and seems built to last a long time. The frame that holds the lid on top would only be needed if you make a fire in the drizzle. Otherwise, it's not needed at all. The smoke rises MUCH better directly up than being deflected sideways by the lid. Still, being able to have a nice, dry fire even in drizzle makes that frame worth having.
I put a bit of sand in the heat deflector on the bottom as well as in the bottom of the kettle. It makes a very good heat shield for the ground below the bowl.
This fire kettle is well-made and does exactly what it claims to do. It is lightweight and will be very easy to move into the shed during the New England snowy winters.
I LOVE the lid-- it keeps the ashes dry during rain so you don't have to tip the water out when you want to build a fire as you would with most other commercial fire pits. That in itself is a tremendous selling point!
Great Fire Pit for the Price! June 20, 2010

We recently bought a Weber grill, and in doing research came across this fire pit. Being a Weber, we figured it'd be of good quality. The pit does not disappoint. Its material is just like any other Weber charcoal barbeque, with the nice porcelain coated steel. The top and bottom are heavy-duty, solid construction, unlike cheaper aluminum pits found in big-box stores. We really like the top that becomes a snuffer and allows for quick, safe extinguishing. This seems like it will hold up for many years of enjoyment. Definately recommend!
