Best American Made Fire pit

When looking for an American Made Fire Pit, several options are available. I will look at 5 of the best wood burning fire pits from Plow and Hearth.

Each of these fire pits will have an open design, no spark screen or tools are included. They will hold plenty of firewood, logs over 24 inches will be no problem for any of these fire pits. When no fire is needed, these fire pits can be used as a work of art for your outdoor spacees.

You will have to find big space for these fire pits as they are heavy and hard to move and will create a lot of heat that will radiate quite a distance. Do not place any wood burning fire pit on a wooden or composite deck or near siding or any other material that will melt or burn.

All of these fire pits in this article are hand made in America and have a brass plaque that the artist has numbered each one. This will make the fire pit very personal to you.

If you have a wooden or composite deck that you are looking to place a heat source on, please choose an electric or gas heat source. Look at some of my Electric or Propane heat sources in my categories.

Care of your American Made Fire Pit

Two things will make your fire pit last longer in outdoor conditions. One is to make sure your fire pit is clean and the other is to cover it with a quality cover when not in use.

After you have a fire you will need to clean out the fire bowl for a longer-lasting outdoor fire pit. The ashes will collect moisture and start rust to develop on the bottom of your bowl. This is the biggest problem for outdoor fire pits is that the bowl will rust out.

It is true that cleanliness is the best thing to keep your new product looking like new. Even though these fire pits have a hole in the burn bowl to help in the draining of moisture, cleaning the bowl will be the best prevention from rust.

Having a good quality cover for your fire pit will be the second-best protection if you do not have a way to store your fire pit out of the weather. My outdoor fire pit has lasted over 15 years, I do store it in a shed when not in use to keep it from rusting.
