Worked example: sizing for a patio

For four to six people around a fire, a 30 to 36 inch pit is the usual range. An Ohio Flame Patriot at 36 inches weighs 119 pounds in 3/16 inch steel, so it stays put but takes two people to move. A Breeo X24, at 27.5 inches outside, suits smaller patios. Leave clearance to the house and check local burn rules first. See fire pit distance from the house.

Frequently asked questions

What fire pits are actually made in the USA?

In our catalog, three makers state US production in writing on their own product pages: Breeo, which says its fire pits are built in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania from American-sourced steel; Arteflame, built in Phoenix, Arizona; and Ohio Flame, which calls its pits 100% American made in Ohio. Each pick below links to that statement.

How do you verify a Made in USA claim?

We only show a Made in USA label when the maker states it in writing on its own site, and we link that page as the proof. We do not infer origin from a brand's address or a retailer listing. If a maker changes its statement, we remove the label until we can verify it again.

What is the best American-made smokeless fire pit?

Breeo is the American-made option here built around smokeless double-wall airflow. The X Series comes in 19, 24, 30 and 42 inch sizes in 304 stainless or Corten steel, from $399 to $3,099 at the maker. The portable Y Series is $399 and weighs 31 pounds.

What is the best American-made fire pit for cooking?

Arteflame is built for cooking. Its 40 inch models add a removable flat-top cooktop with over 1,250 square inches of cooking surface, and the Classic 40 uses a 10 gauge Corten steel bowl. Arteflame lists a 3 year limited warranty. Prices start at $1,195 for the Classic 40 fire pit.

What is the best value American-made fire pit?

Ohio Flame's Patriot and Liberty fire pits start at $324.94 for the 24 inch size in 3/16 inch steel, and Ohio Flame lists a lifetime warranty. They are open, heavy steel bowls rather than smokeless designs, and they develop a natural iron oxide patina.

Does Corten steel rust?

Yes, on purpose. Corten forms a stable rust-colored layer that slows deeper corrosion. It can stain pavers or decking underneath while the patina forms, so set it on a surface that can take it, or use a heat-safe pad. Natural steel bowls from Ohio Flame weather the same way.
