can you use this fire pit on a covered porch?

I think it would depend on the height of the ceiling/roof. It puts off a good amount of heat but because of the diameter it dissipates about 5 to 6 feet up. So if your roof was hi enough I think youd be fine.

Probably not. . .I have a 10x14 wooden deck, and I put four small patio cement blocks under the bottom corners to prevent the heat from possibly touching the wood. This fire pit gets a lot of airflow, so the flames can suddenly get really high.

I wouldn't use this outside unles it's under a cover porch etc. I think the wood wouldn't do well if exposed to the westher.

This firepit is for atmosphere, warmth and roasting marshmallows. It does not have a grate across so I don't think you could use as a barbeque.

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!!

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.

I would not try it. The grill sits well on a porch but sand might be problematic. Plus, it's just big enough to be unwieldy for one person. Go for something more portable if you are going to the beach.

Yes, as long as you keep an eye on it like any flame source. I would keep the garage door open though. I have used mine on my covered deck.

I would say no. If you had a screened in porch, that would be fine. But full exposure to outside elements would probably shorten the durability greatly. To be honest, we haven't been able to put ours down yet because our dog views it as "her" toy and drags it everywhere. Still too much puppy in her.

You could. The flame is about 10 inches above the surface. There is no wind protection for this unit so the slightest breeze makes the flame flutter. Some people put something around the flame if there is wind to keep it from blowing out. I wouldn't do something like that on a wood deck but other than that there shouldn't be an issue with the flame and the wood. Be careful of boil overs.

i have a concrete patio, but it would most likely be fine if you purchase large square cement pieces and make a slab large enough to hold your fire. this what i would have done, if i did not have the cement patio installed. hope this helps! :)

I probably wouldn't, but then again I'm a belt and suspenders sort of girl. There is no "bottom" to the pit except for the ring of fiberglass "stone" wall that contacts the ground. The metal fire pit is suspended on that wall.

Sorry, I don't know. I purchased this firepit for my son for Christmas. I would think you can burn anything in it outdoors.

I think anytime you are using something with fire in it you want to put it on a base that is non-flammable but, the dampers are on the side of this grill instead of the bottom so no ash or coals can fall out of the bottom. You will probably be fine. I used mine on my wood deck on top of one of those grill mats you can buy at home depot.

I actually use mine on my wooden deck - no issues at all. This is the second portable fire pit I've used on my deck over the years (the first one just wore out), and I've never had any problems with it burning the wood. Of course, when your teens decide to be cute and put their Frisbee underneath it, you realize that it does get hot there and melt the plastic to the wood, but that's not the fault of the fire pit. :)

Ours is on a covered porch and is holding up great. I wouldn't recommend leaving it uncovered outside in the weather year-round.

Probably...I purchaseed this to install in a converted patio fire pit & it works great.
