Love it! (2010-10-04)
This is one nice little fireplace. Easy to assemble and the quality is there to last just as to be expected with anything weber has its name on. Looking for a firepit without having to spend a fortune? One that will last season after season? This is it.
Great patio fireplace (2010-09-05)
I had shopped around for a patio fireplace for a couple of years. I didn't like any of the ones sold in the chain stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Target, Sears, etc.). They were poorly built and looked like they would rust out quickly. The more quality built ones were too expensive for what essentially is just a fire ring. I stumbled across the Weber Wood Burning Fireplace and after a little research purchased it. Like all things Weber, it isn't the most flashy or even the best but it is well designed, sturdy, and should last for years. We have used ours once and I will share a number of observations and comments on previous reviews.
First, the small aluminum bowl underneath the fire bowl is not an ash catcher. It is a heat shield. This fireplace should not be used on a wood or composite deck. We have a brick patio and it is safely used there.
Second, where we live (Central, OH) there is no need for a screen around the fireplace. Perhaps in more fire prone areas it would be a good idea, but then again, should you have an open fire in those areas? For my uses a screen is not useful or needed and would just make adding fuel more difficult.
Third, to the commenter who said the fireplace is too smokey, it's the green wood you burned that produced the smoke, not the fireplace. I used well seasoned wood as anyone should and it produced about as much smoke as one would expect.
Fourth, you do not need to use the lid but there is one major advantage to doing so when the weather is cool: the lid helps direct heat down rather than allowing it all to rise quickly. In other words, it keeps more heat down at chair level when you're sitting around the fireplace.
Fifth, the lid does indeed smother the fire quickly. The lid is just tight enough to smother the fire. That's a huge plus since it means you don't have to wait until the fire dies out on its own to go inside. Nor do you have to douse the fire with water to put it out. In the case of this product, I'd recommend you don't do that anyway unless you want to ruin the porcelain finish.
Sixth, it took about 30 minutes to assemble. Even though the handles are wooden, you will still need heavy gloves to move the lid out of the way and move the riser. I have the 2010 model and the handles are sturdy and solid.
good firepit. needs a screen (2010-08-27)
Good firepit. Looks nice. too smokey...wish it had a screen. as with all of these products, don't leave it in the rain/snow.
the bottom part is not an ash catcher! put water in there to prevent the heat from scorching your deck (which can happen with other firepits...which must be placed on a nonflamable surface like concrete, tile, brick, or rock).
A fire pit and more (2010-08-24)
I bought this wood burning fireplace this year and am very impressed with it. The lid comes in handy to snuff out the fire when done, it allows the bowl to stay dry 24/7 unlike the firepits at box stores, and it keeps animals away from any residual food if you cook on it. I have purchased a "Rome's #123 Camp Ring Grill Grate" at 24 & 1/2" to cook on as it fits exactly in the aluminum ring. It sits either high towards the top or low towards the bottom on the bolts of the assembly. however, I purchased four cheap spring clamps to attatch to the aluminum ring and my grate adjusts to any height by simply moving the springs up and down the four verticle posts and placing the grate on them. The bowl accepts fairly large logs which is nice. Don't forget to add a layer of sand to the bottom per the instructions to protect the enamel as that instruction is not easily seen. Time will tell how long it lasts but it seems very sturdy and other reviewers report a long life. I am very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it.
