The fire pit?s heavy-duty steel frame is coated with a high-temperature-resistant finish. It provides both durability, and versatility for building fires with wood, charcoal, or artificial logs. Four, large, removable side doors make it easy to stoke the fire or roast marshmallows. A heavy-duty steel lid caps the fire pit, and can be used to smother flames for quick extinguishment. For safety, position the fire pit on a flat cement or dirt surface away from tree branches and dry grass. Do not leave fires unattended. Keep a bucket of water or hose near by for unexpected flare-ups. The fire pit measures 30 by 37 by 23 inches, and weighs 74 pounds when shipped. Assembly is required. --Jessica Reuling
