Frequently Asked Questions

  • The fire pit bowl is 41 inches in diameter, while the decorative tusk base spans 58 inches from tusk to tusk, with an overall height of 28 inches. The tusk base alone weighs 400 lbs, bringing the total weight of the unit to approximately 700–735 lbs, so permanent or semi-permanent placement is strongly recommended.

  • The gas version includes a Penta 24-inch burner rated at 24–200,000 BTUs, available in both liquid propane and natural gas configurations. According to retailers, this burner output is best suited for small to medium-sized gatherings, providing a strong campfire-style flame effect with included lava rock.

  • You can choose between Match Lit ignition (ideal for areas without electrical connections) or the All-Weather Electronic Ignition System (AWEIS), which requires a 24VAC transformer and includes a fire module, heat shield, and installation instructions. The AWEIS system features flame-sensing technology and a windproof design that automatically relights the flame and shuts off the gas supply in the event of a leak; a battery-operated electronic ignition option is also available as a special order for spaces that cannot run electrical wiring.

  • The exterior iron oxide finish is completely maintenance-free and develops a natural patina that darkens and matures over time with no treatment needed. The inner bowl features a high-temperature-resistant coating and a 1.5-inch rain drain, allowing the fire pit to be left outdoors in all weather conditions — though it should be covered when not in use, as failing to protect it could void the warranty.

  • All fire pit components (excluding gas components) are warranted for 10 years from the date of purchase by the original owner, with proof of purchase required for any warranty service. The HPC Penta stainless steel burner included with the match-lit version carries its own separate lifetime warranty for additional peace of mind.
