Browse through some Frequently Asked Questions regarding Ohio Flame’s American Made Fire Pits. See what makes our company and our Fire Pits unique. 

Do you make and natural gas or propane burning Fire Pits, or do you offer any conversion kits?

Because of liability concerns, we do not make or sell any natural gas or propane burning Fire Pits, nor do we make or offer any conversion kits to do so.  Our Fire Pits are sold as wood burning only.  We have heard that some customers have had them professionally converted to either natural gas or propane burning and they have found that the 1" diameter Rain Drain is convenient for running a pipe to supply a gas burner in the fire bowl, but we suggest that any modifications of our product be done so with a licensed professional.  Ohio Flame is not liable for any damage or injury that may result in the modification of our products.

How much do these Fire Pits weigh?

The weight of our Fire Pits depends entirely on the size of the Fire Pit.  Our lightest Fire Pit is 38 lbs and the heaviest is 260 lbs.  An approximate product weight for each Fire Pit can be found on each product page.

How sturdy is the Ohio Flame Fire Pit?

Our Fire Pits are VERY sturdy.  It seems we always get asked, "How do you get the Fire Bowl to balance on the base like that"  Our pedestal base is welded onto our Fire Bowls, so tipping the Fire Pit over is nearly impossible.  We like the design and the questions that it makes people ask.

Do you offer painted Fire Pits?

We do not offer painted Fire Pits.  There are no known finishes out there that we have found that will not burn off after use.  We don't feel that this matches the quality that we represent at Ohio Flame.  For that reason, we choose to not offer paint finishes of any kind.  There are some high-heat engine enamel spray paints out there in a wide variety of colors and metal finishes if you are set on having a painted Fire Pit.  These too will burn off after some use.  For that reason, our Fire Pits are available in "Natural Steel Finish" and "Patina Finish".

What is "Natural Steel Finish"?

Natural Steel Finish is the finish of the steel as it comes out of the steel mill.  The carbon grade steel that we purchase out of the steel mills in not checked for color characteristics (since that has nothing to do with its strength and durability), but more so for visible defects such as stress cracks and delaminations.  The Natural Steel Finish can cover a range of colors; from more of a light gray or silver, to more brown or even a dark gray.  These colors are temporary and will change as the Fire Pit begins it's "Patina Process".  There may be color variations on the Fire Pit you receive compared to the fire pit that is shown in the listing since every Fire Pit may have it's own unique finish.  Again, the "Natural Steel Finish" is a temporary appearance as the Fire Pit begins to age in its "Patina Process".

What is "Patina"?

What is Patina?  In metal, Patina is the finish that develops on the metal’s surface over a period of time due to a natural weathering and oxidation process.  Many of our products start out in a state that we refer to as a "Natural Steel Finish".  This finish is simply the uncoated mill finish of the steel after it is formed at the mill.  Usually this Natural Steel Finish appears gray or silver, but this too may vary based on the batch of sourced raw steel material used.  No protective coating or finish is applied to the steel to preserve it from weathering or beginning to form its natural iron oxide patina (otherwise known as rust).  This weathering/patina process is a completely natural reaction that occurs when water (i.e. rain, moisture, humidity) and oxygen comes in contact with the iron in the untreated Natural Steel Finish.  The patina process usually starts off orange-ish in color, but will become more dark brown in appearance as the steel is continually exposed to water and heat.  Because the amount of direct exposure to these natural elements may vary on specific parts of the product(s), some areas may or may not weather/patina as fast as others.  All Fire Pits and their accessory products are constructed out of the same high carbon-grade steel and will eventually look similar with time and use.  This weathering/patina process occurs at the surface level and the Patina finish helps to act as a coating, protecting the metal underneath from material degradation.  So even though the surface may look rusty, the Fire Bowl will not rust through, warp or rot out over time.  Some customers may decide to paint their fire pits with a high heat paint, which is available in several color options.  Please be advised; this option will require routine upkeep in order to maintain the desired optimal cosmetic appearance.

Do you use Corten Steel and are they 1/4" thick?

Knowledge is power, and we encourage our customers to ask questions.  Don't fall for some of these marketing buzzwords that some of these manufacturers throw around.  Here's a quick history lesson:  Corten steel is a type of steel that is known to oxidize and weather, and is most often used in outdoor construction.  Corten is a trademarked blend of steel alloys,  which was developed and patented by US Steel in the 1930’s.  Known for its corrosion resistance and tensile strength, it became a popular product for outdoor projects in the 1960’s.  The proprietary composition is only available from US Steel in strip-mill plate and sheet form.  Corten is not a product that is available to the public, and anybody who claims that their products are made of Corten are most likely unaware of what their products are made of or is intentionally misleading customers by using a buzzword associated with a specific brand of steel.  When manufacturers claims they have Corten steel, it is most likely not.  Closest comparable alternatives included the following grades: A606 Type 4, A588, or A847.  These forms of steel exhibit excellent corrosion resistance by developing an oxide barrier over the underlying metal which further slows down future corrosion.

Our goal is to educate the customer and to be honest and transparent.  We do not use Corten steel, nor will we mislead customers with throwing that name out there.  Our steel is a carbon grade steel, and while it is not Corten steel, it also exhibits a similar oxidation and weathering process that helps to protect the underlying material.  We encourage our potential customers to watch out and ask questions when other manufacturer’s throw out terms like “corten steel” or “1/4” thick”.  Ask for material test reports or actual thickness using a micrometer.  Please ask questions when in doubt.

How long can I expect my Fire Pit to last?

We offer a Lifetime Warranty on the steel of the Fire Bowl.  Because we use thick gauge American steel, our Fire Pits are guaranteed to not rust through, rot or warp in your lifetime.  Although our steel Fire Pits will develop a natural iron oxide patina over time, this process occurs only at the surface level.  Over time, this patina process will darken slightly and act as a protective finish that will prevent the steel below from continuing to oxidize. With proper care and routine maintenance (cleaning out the Fire Bowl periodically to prevent ash buildup) you can probably expect these Fire Pits to last for several generations, but to keep things simple, we just call it a Lifetime Warranty.

Is any maintenance required for my Ohio Flame Fire Pit?

To get the most out of your Fire Pit, we do suggest that you remove any excessive accumulation of ash or debris from the Fire Bowl.  Over time, ash accumulation can hold in moisture and cause premature degradation of the Fire Bowl.  Our Fire Pits can be left outside all year round as long as the Fire Bowl is cleaned out.  We offer a Flat Fire Pit Lid which not only acts as a snuffer lid but also as a way to keep the elements out of your Fire Bowl until you are ready to use it again.  We recommend this accessory for longer periods of inactivity. 

Is any assembly required for your Fire Pits?

Unless you consider "assembly" removing the Fire Pit from it's packaging or pallet, the answer is no.  Our Fire Pit design features a two piece welded design.  Not only does this mean that there is nothing to assemble, it also minimizes problematic areas or parts which may become susceptible to damage.  We design our Fire Pits to last a lifetime, and we like to keep them easy to use and maintain.

How much of your Fire Pits are American Made?

Our Fire Pits are 100% American made.  Our Fire Bowls are cold formed from American Steel by using American mechanical presses.  All of our welding and fabricating is done in-house by a local American artist.  We source our sand blasting to a great local contact of ours who is in our community.  Their shop is also locally owned and supports American Made.  Buying an Ohio Flame American Made Fire Pit is a great way to support American Made!

Do you support 'Buy American' and 'American Made'?

We are extremely passionate about buying American Made and supporting the local economy.  As much as we possibly can, we only purchase materials that are made in the USA.  We only use American steel, mostly from domestic mills that are here in Ohio.  Ohio Flame also purchases fabrication materials, manufacturing equipment and packaging supplies that are sold from American companies.  We also choose to work with local vendors whenever possible to help our local economy.  Our customers support "American Made" and we continue to do our best to ensure that our company supports products that are Made in the USA.

What makes Ohio Flame Fire Pits different?

The answer is simple...steel thickness.  The big difference between our Fire Pits and the ones that you'll find at those large box stores is the thickness of the steel we use.  The Fire Pits found at those retail stores are very light weight and use foreign sheet metal.  This sheet metal, on average, is only .017" thick (we've checked using a micrometer)!  They do this because it cheaper; cheaper to purchase and cheaper to handle and ship.  And they know that when it rusts out, you'll be back to buy another one.  We use steel that is much thicker, on average .174"+.  Exact steel thickness depends on the model and size of the Fire Pit.  We choose to purchase American steel sourced from local steel mills from here in Ohio.  We like quality steel and supporting our local economy.

How will my Fire Pit be shipped?

How we ship depends on the size of the Fire Pit.  We are able to ship Ground Service for all Fire Pits weighing up to 150 lbs.  These parcel shipments will arrive in a double wall corrugated box, with no signature being required.  Heavier Fire Pits will ship via LTL Freight.  These freight shipments will arrive on a pallet or palletized box.  A signature will be required for all freight shipments.  We factor Residential Delivery charges and Liftgate Service charges into the cost of the product so you will not be surprised with any unexpected fees at the time of delivery.

Is this Fire Pit safe for my deck?

Please, no.  We suggest that you not place Fire Pits on any flammable or combustible surface such as wooden decks.

Is this Fire Pit safe for my concrete or brick hardscape?

We usually recommend that our customers place our Fire Pit up on a piece of flagstone or some kind of pavers to help protect the hardscape under the Fire Pit.  Ash will most likely fall from the Rain Drain and also the steel may cause some rust transfer that will be more noticeable on lighter hardscapes.  Any kind of masonry product like flagstone or brick pavers can be found at either a local lawn and garden store or in the outdoor section at a big box DIY store.
