This fire pit was an impulse buy because it was on sale, I think we paid $116ca for it, and it’s totally worth that. The lid is rusting all ready, but that was expected. The intense heat from the fire probably ruins most finishes put on these things. But the fire pit itself is just showing a touch of rust inside in the bottom (and it’s been SUPER rainy this season). The pit is deep and well vented, fires burn well and it’s lovely to see through the holes on the side. My husband is quite picky about purchases, he only wants really high quality items, and he’s been really pleased with this. He’s always inviting people over for a fire now! It really feels like camping, with the ease and convenience of home ❤️
