- Can I really cook on it?
- Yes. The built-in pot holder supports a kettle or small pot directly over the flames. It is best for boiling water and simple one-pot cooking, not for grilling meat.
- How big a fire can it hold?
- The bowl is 20 inches across, so it takes short logs split small. Expect to feed it often and keep the fire modest.
- Does it come with a spark screen or cover?
- No. The pit is the bowl and pot holder only, so buy a screen and a cover separately if you want them.
- Is it safe on a wooden deck?
- Only with a heat-proof pad underneath and plenty of clearance. The metal gets very hot and embers can fall, so keep it off dry grass and away from railings.
- Will it rust?
- The steel is not stainless, so it will rust if left out in rain. Store it covered or indoors when not in use.
- Is it good for a balcony?
- Check your building's rules first. The size fits a balcony, but open flames and smoke may not be allowed.
- Where is the Sugift 20-in Patio Fire Pit with Pot Holder cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $112.99, as of our latest check.
