Description

A square Corten steel fire pit for cooking and keeping warm

The Rabelais 80 Corten Steel Fire Pit by INGRILL by INSUN combines a Corten steel base unit with an 80 x 80 cm square plancha. It warms your outdoor space and becomes the meeting point for meals with friends or family.

Technical specifications

• Plancha: 80 x 80 cm square format
• Central grill diameter: 36 cm
• Bowl height: 21 cm
• Weight: 110 kg
• Overall height: approx. 100 cm
• Finish: Corten steel base unit, black powder-coated bowl

A practical, modular design

The fire pit is made up of two separate parts, the bowl and the base unit, which makes it easier to transport and install. A removable shelf lets you divide the base unit in two to store your accessories or firewood, and a side bracket lets you hang your utensils within easy reach.

If you choose the version without castors, height-adjustable feet stabilise the fire pit and protect your floor.

Materials chosen to last

• Plancha and central grill (optional): 10 mm thick S235JR steel for evenly distributed heat. Once hot, the plancha curves slightly inwards so that fat runs off into the fire.
• Base unit: 2 mm Corten steel, which withstands the weather.
• Fire bowl: 4 mm steel with high-temperature powder coating.

The bowl is coated with a black powder baked in an oven at 200 °C. This coating protects against heat and the elements; the process is non-polluting and long-lasting.

Corten steel and its patina

Corten steel contains phosphorus, copper, chromium and nickel. It develops a protective surface patina that prevents deterioration of the core, allowing it to stay outdoors all year round.

1. 1 to 3 months: a yellow/orange tint appears. Please note: run-off may stain wooden or concrete floors.
2. 3 to 6 months: the patina becomes darker and more resistant.
3. 6 months to 1 year: the colour evens out and the run-off stops.
4. 1 to 2 years: the base unit reaches its final shade, a unique dark brown.

During the first few months, place a protective mat under the fire pit if your terrace is made of wood or light-coloured concrete.
