The V feeds itself.
The sides slope in, so logs slide down into the coals as they burn. Less poking. Longer fires. You get to sit down.

01 · The steel
Five pieces of quarter-inch steel.
The Firepit 40, shown here: two slant panels, two sides, one bottom plate. Hot-rolled A1011, cut in the U.S.
02 · Together
No tools. No hardware bag.
It slots together in minutes. Two people.
03 · Then
Then it stays there.
Nobody's moving it, and nothing's burning through it.
Why it lasts
Thin fire pits burn through. Thick ones don’t.
The bowl from the hardware store is painted steel about as thick as a cookie sheet. Fire burns paint, and by the third fall there’s a hole in the bottom.
Ours is hot-rolled A1011 plate. Three-sixteenths of an inch in the 34. A full quarter inch in the 40. It doesn’t rattle when a log lands. And there’s nothing to wear through.
For scale: a smokeless stainless drum weighs about 23 pounds. This is twelve of them.
Keep it seasoned and it looks like a cast-iron skillet for as long as you own it.

Evening. Embers down.
SeasonedWeatheredThe finish
Season it like cast iron.
It’s plate steel, so treat it like a skillet. Wipe it down with oil while it’s still warm and it keeps a deep charcoal black, the way a griddle does. Skip the oil and it weathers to the same brown as an Edge Right border. The Firepit 34 uses 3/16-inch plate; the Firepit 40 uses 1/4-inch plate.
Oil it or don’t. Both are right.
At the fire
Less fuss. More fire.
Ash comes out by the handles.
The bottom plate lifts out. Two handles, one dump, back in. The cleanup that stops people using a fire pit is gone.
Together in minutes.
Five pieces. No hardware, no hex key. Two people, and it's lit the evening it arrives.
It won't sink.
Steel this heavy wants to settle into pea gravel or soft ground. The base is turned under, so the weight rides on a flat foot instead of an edge. Set it once and it stays level.
Choose your size
Two pits. One build.

The steel has a track record.
These are reviews of the fire pit we just replaced. The new one is the same idea with more steel in it.
“Don't let the price scare you away. This will be the last fire pit you buy.”

“So much better than the mesh fire pits you can buy at the big box stores, made of thin sheet metal.”

Questions people ask
Before you ask.
Is it Cor-Ten, like the edging?
No. The edging is Cor-Ten because it's 16-gauge steel living in wet dirt. The Firepit uses hot-rolled steel in both sizes: 3/16 inch in the 34 and 1/4 inch in the 40. Thickness is the protection here, not the alloy.
Will it rust?
It's plate steel, so it can. Wipe it with a little oil while it's warm, the way you'd season cast iron, and it stays dark. Leave it bare and it weathers to brown on the surface.
How do I season it?
Light a small fire so the steel is warm to the touch, then wipe a thin coat of flaxseed or linseed oil on the outside with a rag and let it bake in. Two light coats beat one heavy one. Do it a couple of times a season, or whenever you want it darker.
Will it stain my patio?
Bare steel can shed a little color onto light pavers early on, more so after rain. Seasoning helps. Gravel, a paver pad, or a stand settles it.
How do I move something this heavy?
It arrives in parcels and goes together where it lives. No tools, two people. Then it stays there, which is the point.
Is this a pre-order?
Yes. Your order secures a fire pit in Batch 2, a limited production run expected to ship late October. You are charged at checkout. Planning for the holidays? Choose your preferred arrival in your cart.
Is it smokeless?
We make no smokeless claim. With dry, seasoned wood, good airflow, and a hot, established fire, the Firepit can burn with little visible smoke. Damp wood, lighting, and smoldering can produce more smoke. The V-shaped sides help logs settle into the coals as they burn.
Can I cook on it?
It ships as a fire pit, not a grill. That said, customers have found grill grates that sit on the ledges inside, and one has cooked kebabs and calzones over the coals. If you want a grate from us, tell us; enough people ask.
Where can I put it?
Open air, on a non-flammable surface, with the clearance from your house and fence that your local code calls for.
$1,149 for a fire pit?
The Firepit 40 is a quarter inch of American steel, shipping included, and it's the last one you buy. By weight it works out to about four dollars a pound. Cheaper than brisket. The design-shop pits it sits next to run $1,500 to $3,000 and weigh a fraction of it.
Why full price on a pre-order?
Your order reserves a fire pit in a limited production run. The price includes shipping, and you can choose your holiday arrival preference in your cart.
When do I have to order?
Reservations are available while this production run has capacity. If you want a fire pit for the holidays, reserve yours now rather than wait for a later batch. Future availability is not confirmed.
Can I reserve a fire pit for the holidays?
Yes. Reserve now, then choose Before Thanksgiving or Before Christmas in your cart. We’ll aim for arrival before your selected holiday. Holiday delivery isn’t guaranteed.
What's the return?
45 days, money back, no questions. We cover the return shipping.
