Fire Bowl Ø 80 cm FS 2416

The bowl arrived from Germany in 7 days with a drainage hole drilled in the middle as I had requested. It took less than a minute to fix on the legs and plonk it in the middle of the patio. I didn’t bother degreasing it as the fire will do that.Just had its inaugural lighting with kiln dried birch logs and boiled a kettle of water suspended from a tripod sitting with the feet in the 800mm bowl. A big fire is not needed as the heat the bowl gives off is substantial. I think the shape is marvellous and the bowl rings like a bell if struck.I’ve put an old cast iron pot under the hole to catch rain water. It hasn’t rained in the 5 days I’ve had the bowl, incredibly, but I expect the water will be a bit rusty when it does, so I don’t want it staining the slabs.I would not be sitting on the patio in the dark except for this glorious source of heat and ‘bush craft TV’ to stare at. The family love it and it has already brought a lot of joy. Every pyromaniac should have one.

Perfect firebowl, large and sturdy but not too heavy. I just wiped it down with solvent, drilled a small drainage hole and sprayed it with hi temp paint. Delivered from Germany to Ireland very quickly and for free.

 Delivered in three days! Used it last night with the family up and we had a lovely time. It’s good quality and one of the cheaper ones for the size. I read the reviews and agree with a previous reviewer about the negative reviews being pretty petty. We also drilled drainage holes in the bottom, but I didn’t paint it with heat resistant paint as I think it will look charming with rust. Solid and sturdy.The only thing I will say is that the main picture on Amazon shows it as black, but it’s actually a steel colour. This didn’t bother us but it’s something to bear in mind.

I read the reviews and was impressed with what people had to say about this product. It arrived quickly and we have used it lots of times. We had visitors over from the UK recently and it meant that we could stay outside and have drinks etc and the heat from the fire pit heats up the whole back terrace. Would certainly recommend. Very well made. I did not put a whole in the bottom because we don't get a lot of rain in the south of France but I think this may well be a good idea if it rains a lot where you are.

We absolutely love this fire bowl. Basic in design but certainly does the job. Nice and strong. We've just put ordinary wood to burn in the bowl and it doesn't take long to heat up creating a good blaze. Over Christmas we've hand many evenings outside toasting marshmallows and drinking. chocolate enjoying its warmth. The size is perfect too. And considering where it came from it arrived so quickly. Thoroughly recommend.

I didn't want the bowl to rust so I bought heat resistant paint and sprayed the whole bowl black. It looks matt black and brand new every day. It arrived a bit dusty and greasy so I gave it a good wash with washing up liquid in the garden. The coals in the bowl heat up nicely without needing to be propped up to allow air underneath. The bowl is easy to clean - I use a dust pan and brush. I also bought a waterproof cover so it doesn't fill with rainwater. It sits in my garden all year round. Very happy with this product.

Bought this as a present and it was well received. good quality with simple, sturdy design. Did have to drill a few holes in the base so it doesn't fill with water when it rains which I would recommend but need a strong drill and drill bit!

We love our firepit. Yes it does get rusty, but for goodness sake, what do you expect from a chunk of steel left outdoors? It's heavy, sturdy, keeps friends and family warm and happy on a chilly night out. There hasn't been a need for a drain hole yet, but it hasn't rained much either lately so might add that feature to it at some point. That will not be an issue though. Product 100% recommended.
