The fire pit, made of stainless steel, is excellent in absorbing and radiating heat. This fireplace features a large bowl, allowing for a large fire for you and your family to enjoy for hours. The mesh allows you to watch the burning fire, and encloses the fire for safety as well as preventing sparks and debris from flying out. Additionally, there is a convenient ring in the mesh cover so that you can carry it easily. The poker can be used for both removing the mesh cover and rearranging the logs. With the included cooking grid, you can even have a barbecue.
