Will the bottom of this firepit burn the wood if used on a wooden deck?

I would not recommend for deck it sits very low to ground it might not burn but it would defiantly leave a dark spot from heat

I would never burn anything on a deck attached to a house other than a specifically designed item such as a grill. Fire and decks equal no house, or at the very least costly damage. If you don't have a better location I would not recommend a fire pit that burns wood. Maybe a specially designed gas pit if it must be on the deck.

I put a bag of sand in the bottom of the pit. It does not get as hot, but I would be cautious of a wood deck. If you can find a grill Matt to put under it you should be ok.

I unfortunately have not had an opportunity to use yet...but I purchased the sterno flames with the glowing embers. I would guess that you would not have any problems with that type of fire...I don't think I would utilize wood logs indoors like that because it will discolor the iinside of your roof, and vinyl would possibly warp/melt.

You can not use it on a wood deck, you will burn it down! It gets very hot. You could put it on bricks or a stone slab.

Not really. The fire pit is a removable sheet metal tray so you can empty the ashes. Since it just drops into the frame, it does not conduct heat to the frame very much.

Ours is on a large stone patio. Like all open fires sparks can be dangerous if surrounding material is flammable. Certain wood spark more such as cedar and fir.

I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as the size is suitable to go under the fire pit table. It should probably stick out a few inches all around so that it will catch sparks, etc. But, are you sure you want to put a fire pit on your deck......especially if it's a wood deck?

If you keep the fire in the pit... it should be fine use small pieces that do not extend past the edge of the pit an if your still concerned wet the grass before hand so it won't catch

We use it on a tiny patio very near the house and have not had problems. As long as you keep the fire itself small, I think it would be OK.

We have used ours on our wood deck. It has run for several hours at a time and we have had no problem with it heating the deck wood. I have two of these because we use one in the 5th wheel when we travel. It is lightweight and does a great job. We also like that it is self contained.

yes it has a full bottom. there is a stand that the barrel sets in that holds it off the ground/deck approx 4". I would not use on a wood deck or other surface that may ignite without a protective pad.

It does not. It comes with a solid bottom; the instructions recommend putting some sand into it. The decorative perforations in the side allow air into the pit. But as far as directly under the wood...nope. No grate. A grate would be a nice addition; there's been mornings I noticed a piece or two didn't burn all the way to ash. That would never happen if there were a grate. You'll need to prep the fire like a boy scout & be prepared to move things around with tongs or a poker every now & then. All part of the fun, I think.

We used ours camping and it is great. I don't know about a wood deck, it's high enough from the ground that it should be alright but when I use mine on our deck I will set it on paving stones just as an added precaution.

Don't know about wood, I do know I use it on live green grass for long perioeds of time and it doesn't hurt the grass. It has a nice flame, VERY HAPPY with this pit.

I don't think you would have any issues with firing up on a wood deck, just keep it away from any railings or awnings. However, you would be better off playing it safe. It still wouldn't hurt to buy a few pieces of ceramic floor tile or cinder block and place them under the burner.

Yes, the firepit gets very hot on the bottom and even will burn the grass if you set it on the lawn. Works perfect on concrete or stone patio. Hope this helps.

I use it in my outdoor fire pit which is fueled by gas. I don't see how you can use this with a wood burning fireplace.

Our deck protectors are designed as protection from a stray ember or ash from a wood burning fireplace. The fire resistant pad is not fireproof. It will protect your deck area from embers or a burning log until it can be placed back in the fire. It will not protect your deck from direct heat or intense direct fire. I hope this helps answer your question. Thank you. The Blue Rooster Co.
