No, the iron oxide finish is designed to be maintenance-free. It will naturally darken into a rich patina over time when exposed to the elements, which actually helps protect the steel from further corrosion.

This fire pit weighs 185 pounds, so it is quite substantial and stable. Because of its weight, it is best to choose a permanent or semi-permanent location for it rather than planning to move it frequently.

The interior is coated with a high-temperature resistant paint, but it is normal for this coating to eventually wear away with repeated exposure to fire and heat. This is expected and will not affect the structural integrity of the heavy-duty carbon steel.

The 1.5-inch drain at the bottom of the bowl prevents rainwater from pooling inside the fire pit. This helps keep the interior dry and prevents rust buildup, ensuring the fire pit stays in good condition even when left outdoors.

We generally recommend placing this fire pit on a non-combustible surface like stone, concrete, or brick. Because it is a wood-burning unit that generates significant heat, it is not suitable for direct placement on wooden decks or composite materials without a proper heat-resistant barrier.
