Tucson 80 Rust Fire Pit

We’ve incorporated both cast iron and steel fire pits into our range, to allow for all different styles of designs. The process of manufacturing cast iron allows us to make specific designs that aren’t available using steel. Cast iron is a naturally heavier material, but no more stronger or durable than our steel fire pits. Steel also allows for a smoother finish than it’s cast iron counterpart. 

The main difference between traditional and ethanol fire pits is that the former is designed to burn timber while the latter is powered by eco-friendly bioethanol.  

Ethanol is a fantastic option if you’re after the versatility of both indoor and outdoor use, with a smokeless entertaining solution. The ethanol fire bowls are also a great solution if you’re looking to add one to a balcony or courtyard. The larger tables work well for larger entertaining spaces.  

Traditional fire pits are to be used specifically outside only, which makes them perfect for backyard entertaining, as well as camping. 

Most of our fire pits are ready to go straight out of the box. Others may require very easy assembly of the base. Simply follow the assembly instructions provided, or on the product listing page. 

Our fire pit thickness ranges from 3-4mm to ensure they are heavy duty and have extra strength where it matters.

Backyard fire pit usage is legal as long as you follow the laws and regulations in your state. The fire pit should not stand closer than 4 metres from a timber wall, and you should ensure that the smoke emissions do not annoy your neighbours.  

Concrete is a non-combustible material thus a safe surface for a fire pit. We recommend ensuring that the concrete is a stable/level surface to prevent hazards – raised concrete pavers can be perfect for this to provide protection from the extreme heat.  

You can place your fire pit on grass, but we do recommend laying a few pavers or pebbles around the fire pit if you’re using it on grass to prevent any embers impacting your grassed area. 

We do not recommend placing your fire pit directly on wood or composite decking as this can affect the condition of the surface beneath and be a fire hazard. You can, however, consider using a specially designed fire pit mat made from fire-resistant insulating material to protect against heat transfer and ash and coals falling out. 

Ethanol fire pits can be used indoors (with fire screen) or on balconies. Before installation ensure the fire pit is positioned in accordance with compulsory minimum clearances outlined in the installation manual, and that the fire pit is used correctly according to the operations manual. 

The bases are designed to hold the bowl securely in place but in doing so, it is exposed to the direct heat from the fire. Please ensure the fire pit is in your preferred position before lighting a fire, and do not touch the base of the fire pit under any circumstance until the fire is out and completely cold.  

For longevity, we recommend to store your fire pit under cover or out of the elements when you’re not using it. This will increase the lifespan of your fire pit. 

Your rust fire pit will continue to naturally weather into its durable rustic finish. We do recommend keeping your rust fire pit away from surfaces that may be affected by rust staining, and using on a raised surface eg concrete pavers, to protect your decking or tiles from rust.

Your black fire pit is finished with a high temperature black painted surface that is resistant to heat but not water. If left uncovered in the elements, it will age to a natural rust finish over time and stabilise, requiring no further maintenance. Some people love the fact that their black fire pit will go through a gradual phase of rusting, this can make a great looking addition to your space. If you would prefer that your fire pit stays its beautiful sleek black, you can rub back the surface and apply a coat of heat resistant potbelly black paint each season to keep it looking its best!
