- Can I cook on it, or is the grill just decorative?
- You can cook over it. The grate swings over the fire for burgers, hot dogs and skewers. Keep fires moderate and move food away from flare-ups.
- Does it come with a cover or spark screen?
- No. It ships as the pit, stand, grill grate and ash box. Buy a cover and a screen separately if you want them.
- Will it rust outside?
- Bare steel will rust with rain and dew. Cover it when not in use and touch up scratches; expect some surface rust over time.
- How much wood does it hold?
- The 24-inch square bowl takes standard split logs. Keep the fire below the grill level and never overload it.
- Is it easy to move?
- Yes. At 35 lb it is light enough for one person to shift on a patio, though let it cool fully first.
- How does it compare with a plain bowl fire pit?
- It adds a grill grate and ash drawer that most bowl pits lack. In return, the steel is basic and needs more care than premium cast-iron or porcelain models.
- Where is the SlickBlue Patio Fire Pit with Grill and Ash Box cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $118.99, as of our latest check.
