Patriot Steel Fire Pit – Pedestal Base, 24–48 in

Ohio Flame was founded by Matt Skillman in 2009 and is based in Columbiana, Ohio. The business began in his garage after a short-lived backyard fire pit inspired him to build a sturdier steel replacement. Drawing on his background in art and the steel industry, Skillman made American manufacturing, durable construction, and direct customer service central to the company. The business also honors the help of his uncle, a U.S. Army veteran, through its commitment to American-made products and military support.

Patriot Steel Fire Pit with Pedestal Base

The Patriot pairs a rounded steel bowl with a simple round pedestal. Named in honor of the founder’s veteran uncle, it offers a straightforward American-steel design for a traditional outdoor wood fire.

Choose the bowl diameter and review its overall height, depth and approximate weight before planning its position. This listing is for the pedestal-base configuration; a similarly named bowl with another base can have different dimensions. The fire pit is intended for wood-burning use, and the welded base requires no assembly.

A Substantial Outdoor Wood-Fire Centerpiece

• Made in the United States with American carbon steel sourced from local mills.
• Welded bowl and base construction; choose the listed diameter for this configuration.
• A rain drain allows water to escape from the bowl.
• Includes a 4-inch round blocking plate and standard-length centering tee for closing the rain drain when containing ash.
• Unpainted Natural Steel finish changes with weather and use.

Dimensions by Bowl Size

Dimensions and approximate weights above are specific to this base and size. Diameter describes the bowl, while overall height includes its support. Measure the intended placement area and access route before choosing a size, and allow for the required fire clearance around it. Larger bowls are substantial items; plan their final position before the first use.

American Steel and a Changing Patina

The bowl is made from American carbon steel. Its Natural Steel finish is the uncoated mill surface, which may arrive gray, silver, brown or dark gray before weathering. Exposure to moisture and heat changes the surface toward orange and then darker brown tones. Color and the pace of weathering can vary across the bowl; the photographs show examples rather than a fixed paint color. Steel thickness varies by size as listed above.

Placement, Cleaning and Warranty

Use this wood-burning fire pit outdoors on a hard, level, noncombustible surface, with at least 10 feet of clearance from structures and combustible materials, and follow local burning rules. Do not place it on a wooden or composite deck or under overhanging branches. Supervise the fire and keep children and pets away. Allow the bowl, coals and ashes to cool completely before cleaning or moving it. Inspect the bowl regularly and remove accumulated cold ash; a natural patina does not remove the need for routine cleaning.

Read the U.S. Fire Administration’s outdoor fire safety guidance when planning a fire-pit area. Follow the product instructions and any stricter local clearance requirements.

The manufacturer’s lifetime warranty applies to the structural integrity and durability of registered steel bowls and welds. It excludes screens, grates, paint and finishes; alteration, misuse, or commercial use can void coverage. Register the product and keep its purchase information. Cosmetic weathering should not be confused with the structural warranty.
