Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fire bowl and a fire pit?

A fire bowl has a wider, shallower bowl shape that creates a more open, dramatic flame display. A traditional fire pit tends to be deeper and more contained. Fire bowls are generally chosen for their visual impact and are ideal as a garden centrepiece, while fire pits are often preferred for their practicality and heat output.

What material is best for a garden fire bowl?

Steel fire bowls are lightweight and affordable, while cast iron models are heavier and retain heat exceptionally well. Corten (weathering) steel develops a distinctive rust patina that actually protects the metal and gives a premium, contemporary look that improves with age. All materials require some maintenance to maximise longevity.

Can I use a fire bowl for cooking?

Many fire bowls are suitable for cooking when used with a compatible grill grate accessory. Always use food-safe, untreated wood or charcoal and allow the fire to burn down to embers before cooking. Never use treated timber, painted wood or household waste for cooking fires.

How do I protect a fire bowl from rust?

For steel fire bowls, apply a light coat of heat-resistant oil or wax after each use once the bowl has cooled. Store under a weatherproof cover or indoors when not in use. Corten steel fire bowls are designed to develop a protective rust patina and require minimal maintenance. Cast iron models should be oiled regularly to prevent corrosion.
