With the Fire Pit, Outdoorchef focuses on dual use. The stainless steel fire pit can be converted from a campfire to a barbecue in just a few simple steps.
A fire in the garden or on the patio creates atmosphere, provides warmth and prolongs cool evenings. You don't need to build an open fire pit for this: The Fire Pit from Outdoorchef can be used for classic barbecues and open fires.
Construction and processing
The Fire Pit is made of stainless steel with a black powder coating and looks robust without being bulky. The design is simple, functional and designed for stability. Three feet are designed to ensure a firm hold, while the bowl itself is solidly made, according to the manufacturer: Nothing rattles or wobbles.
Assembly should only require a few simple steps, tools are included. The fire tray is height-adjustable and equipped with handles. This allows better control over the heat and air supply. The grill grate can be removed after use. It is dishwasher-safe, although manual cleaning is recommended.
Operation and use
Outdoorchef combines two types of use in one system with the Fire Pit. With logs it serves as a fireplace for cosy evenings, with charcoal it transforms into a barbecue. It can be switched without any conversion work. According to the manufacturer, the heat distribution is even and the flames burn steadily.
The air supply is regulated via openings at the bottom edge, which should improve the oxygen supply and ensure even flames. According to the manufacturer, the combustion chamber is low enough to prevent flying sparks and high enough to efficiently dissipate the heat to the outside.
The grilling surface measures 62 × 44.5 centimetres, the working height is 83 centimetres. The total weight is around 30 kilograms. The scope of delivery includes an ash shovel and accessory hooks. The latter offer space for barbecue cutlery or gloves.
