Instead of using it as a fire pit, and since it is hollow inside, I could cover an "eye sore" in the yard?

I would NOT buy this for ANYTHING! ONE season - and I covered it every time it rained, and covered it all winter and it is all rusted, and the fake stone is chipping off of it. I emailed the company twice and I have not heard anything back from them. Add to that - they charged over 70% of the cost of the item for shipping & handling...STEER CLEAR!!

I suppose so. Think of it as a ring. Hollow all the way through. The fire pan sits on top.

The fabric is not fireproof. I would be cautious about placing it over a fire pit even if you plan on keeping the fire small. The chances of something happening just isn't worth it in my book.

You could but I don't think it would give off much heat. I sit in front of it to get warm. but putting it on the highest level is a bit bright. so I guess I would not recommend it for that purpose.

I placed my pit on a paved patio so I don't know. You may want to try fireing it up with brick or slate under the pit to deflect the heat if that is your concern.

We enjoy sitting around the fire pit, we have turned the ceiling fan on when using it the fire pit and it did seem to warm the whole area too. If you are wanting to "heat" the patio the tower may be a better alternative.

The decision and risk are yours, but I can provide some useful info. The inside obviously gets flaming hot. The rim and legs, i.e., the parts that would touch you deck, are not too hot. The pit's pan has a solid bottom, so no coals will fall through.If it was my deck, my primary concern would be sparks popping out. But this fire pit comes with a screened lid heavy enough to stay in place. The only remaining spark risk is when you remove that lid to roast marshmallows or to add more wood. I suppose you could get some sparks or even small coals through the pan's wider-meshed sides if you build up the coals too much or fail to clean out the ashes between uses.

There is no ventilation so heat does build up inside. You would want to add some serious insulation inside the pit, beneath the fire pan. Maybe a layer or two of bricks and some reflective foil on top. Otherwise the heat will - at minimum - cook/color the deck, if not set actually it on fire.

Well, I guess you could wrap this in a plastic bag which would offer some protection for water proofing. I can understand your concern though with a forest fire. They do burn hotter than a normal house fire. This safe works for me and is very nice and roomy inside.

As long as its not raining or snowing! Buy a fire pit youll enjoy that much better outdoors....JW..

I don't see why not. It would be covered by sunbrella or other material that was for the outdoor area...it is an insert...not to be used by itself.

I wouldn't recommend it, depending on how long you burn your fire, the heat could damage the grass - I keep mine on concrete.

You can use pavers. I have mine on a concrete slab that was already existing in my backyard. You definitely need something underneath it. It gets very hot & if you do not use the cover (like I do) ambers do pop out. So, you do want to make sure it's not directly on grass. Hope this helps :) Enjoy your firepit!!

If you are asking...Can you do s'mores indoor-s? Like in your house...with the "Fire Sense 22-Inch Folding "OUTDOORS" Fire Pit"? NO...NO...NO...I woulden't even try in my garage with the door open...

It's safe. But not a good idea. If you want to put on grass. Place something beneath it like bricks or something. The heat from the pit will brown out your lawn if you don't protect it. Obviously if you put something down, don't forget to pick it back up after pit cools and you are done. Otherwise that will kill the lawn too.

You could rest your foot there with a shoe on depending on the size of the fire. I wouldn't worry about too hot. I would worry about stability though. I wouldn't rest my foot on the edge of mine. It is thin metal, it could bend or it could tip over because it is so light

I guess, but I wouldn't want to. Its a decorative fire pit - not a barbecue. There is no cooking grate and it is pretty low to the ground.

Yes you can! :) but better leave it indoor so it last longer, I think! Or you cover it well after use.
