We love our fire pit. Nothing better than a Fall / Spring night around the fire pit while we watch TV outside. Your firewood guy will love you as you will up your order for next season as you will find yourself using it more than the fireplace inside your home. We looked at several types and found none that had better price to value. You can find them cheaper but that is what it is... cheaper. Steve's fire pits are made to last and more importantly made to be used. It will outlast you and your pile of wood. You will love it and your kids will too.
