The Duke is a 30-inch fire pit made from 3/16-inch carbon steel with a tilting cradle base that lets you direct heat and reduce smoke. It is the smallest tilting model from its maker and carries a lifetime bowl warranty. Owners rate it 5 out of 5 and praise its sturdy build and the tilt feature. It suits smaller patios or anyone who wants a contained fire with campfire cooking. Compared with fixed fire pits, the tilting base is a rare feature, but the bowl is heavy and may need regular oiling to prevent rust.

The Duke is a 30-inch fire pit with a tiltable fire bowl. It is the smallest tilting fire pit in its maker's line, and it is named after John Wayne. The bowl is made from 3/16-inch carbon steel and is handmade in the USA from upcycled propane tanks.
A custom cradle base lets you tilt the bowl to direct heat where you want it and to reduce smoke. Welded chain handles make it easy to reposition the fire pit.
Over time the steel develops a chocolate-toned rust patina that protects the metal. Spraying the exterior with avocado oil each season is recommended. A fire pit lid, grill grate, poker and wood holder are available as optional add-ons.
