• Cabinet with removable shelf, which can be divided into two sections, and a side rack for hanging your utensils.
• Easy handling: the fire pit comes in two parts, the bowl and the cabinet.

Powder-coated bowl

The bowl is coated with a black powder, then baked in an oven at 200 degrees. This process creates a slightly textured, even and very tough finish. Powder coating is harmless, non-polluting and long-lasting.

Corten steel and its patina

Corten steel is a modified steel to which phosphorus, copper, chromium and nickel are added. This composition allows it to rust on the surface but never right through: it can stay outdoors for several decades without deteriorating. Its weathering process takes 2 years:

• 1 to 3 months: the cabinet becomes covered with a yellow/orange layer of surface rust. Take care with wooden and concrete terraces: during this phase, rust run-off may stain your floor.
• 3 to 6 months: the rust layer becomes darker and harder.
• 6 months to 1 year: the colour evens out, the rust layer becomes very solid and there is no more run-off.
• 1 to 2 years: the patina reaches its final colour, a more or less dark brown. Every Corten sheet is unique, and so is its colour.
