Special Considerations
Do not tarp your fire pit, the tarp will cause the patina to blacken and stop the oxidation process. In many cases the color of the tarp will transfer to the new steel. During the maturing process keep wet leaves and debris off the piece until the steel matures. Allow the piece to mature with each fire. Sit back, relax and enjoy your new Fire Pit Art®.
Which Africa's Big Five Is Right for You?
The Africa's Big Five Fire Pit is available in three fuel configurations and six finish options. Wood burning is available in Iron Oxide Patina only.
