THESE FIRE PITS ARE DISCOUNTED/DOWNGRADE STOCK AND ARE SELLING CHEAPER AS THEY HAVE A LOT OF SURFACE MARKINGS, SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS AND/OR DEEP SCRATCHING. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE USABILITY OF THE FIRE PIT AT ALL, IT IS ONLY THE STEEL SURFACE THAT IS VISUALLY FLAWED. KEEP IN MIND, ANY TYPE OF FIRE PIT WILL DEVELOP MARKS AND SCRATCHES FROM GENERAL USE. PLEASE SEE THE PRODUCT PHOTOS FOR SOME EXAMPLES. LIMITED STOCK AVAILABLE.
What is Ferritic Stainless Steel?
For our fire pits and hot plates, we use a specially formulated grade of stainless steel which is known as ferritic stainless steel. After much research and testing, we have chosen to manufacture a range of products from this type of steel as it is magnetic, and has a higher carbon content than the more common 304/316 stainless steels. This means it has good corrosion resistance, as well as good thermal conductivity so it distributes heat more evenly throughout the steel and allows it to handle high heat with less distortion, making it great for fire pits and hot plates.
