OutVue 36 Inch Fire Pit (Black, 91.5cm)

What are the exact dimensions and weight of this fire pit?

The fire pit measures 91.4cm in diameter and 73.7cm in height. It weighs 14.74kg, making it stable enough to resist tipping whilst remaining manageable for repositioning. The substantial weight contributes to its stability on uneven surfaces and the size accommodates groups of 6-8 people comfortably around the perimeter.

How much wood can this fire pit hold and what types work best?

The fire pit holds up to 9kg of wood, which provides several hours of burning depending on wood type and size. Hardwoods like oak, ash or beech burn longer and produce more heat. Softwoods like pine ignite easier but burn faster. Always use seasoned, dry wood with moisture content below 20% for optimal performance and minimal smoke.

Can the cooking grills be adjusted to different heights?

Yes, both cooking grills are height-adjustable and rotate 360 degrees. They can be positioned at various levels above the fire for different cooking methods. Lower positions provide direct high-heat grilling, whilst higher positions work for gentle warming or slow cooking. The grills detach completely for easy cleaning and storage.

How long does assembly take and what tools are required?

Assembly takes approximately 20 minutes with the included detailed instructions. All necessary hardware is provided and you'll need basic tools like a screwdriver and spanner. The key is to loosely fit all components before fully tightening any screws, ensuring proper alignment throughout the assembly process.

Is this fire pit suitable for use on decking or patios?

The fire pit can be used on heat-resistant surfaces, but requires proper protection underneath. Use a fire-resistant mat or heat shield to protect wooden decking or stone patios from heat damage. Ensure adequate clearance from combustible materials - at least 3 metres from structures, overhanging branches or furniture.

What maintenance is required to prevent rust and extend lifespan?

Clean ash after each use once completely cool. The high-temperature powder coating provides rust resistance, but periodic inspection for chips or scratches helps prevent corrosion. Store indoors during winter or use the included waterproof cover. Light surface rust can be treated with wire wool and high-temperature paint if needed.

How does the table conversion work and what weight can it support?

The included lid fits securely over the fire bowl, creating a flat 91.5cm diameter table surface. This accommodates dining for 6-8 people with plates, drinks and light serving dishes. The table can support typical dining loads but isn't designed for heavy items or standing on. Always ensure the fire is completely extinguished and cool before conversion.

What safety precautions should be followed during use?

Never leave the fire unattended and keep water or sand nearby for emergencies. The screen mesh reduces but doesn't eliminate flying sparks, so maintain safe distances from flammable materials. Use the provided poker for wood adjustment rather than hands or feet. Allow complete cooling before moving or storing and always check local fire regulations and restrictions before use.
