Just a question, but why would you need this if you could build a fire?

You could set it up, and go about your business. Fire needs supervision.What would you do on a nice sunny day and you couldn't build a fire.Always have several options to heat water.

If you could build a fire then go ahead and do so, hope you have something to put the water in to boil it and something to sit the pot on top of the fire, if you have a pot and can build a fire then you have that option....this is just another option to have if you don't have the tools or know-how to build a fire. This is great to have...when it's sunny or bright outside and it's all inclusive, no matches, no pot, no setting up over a fire...just another option to have.

That's what we did with ours. It has a door in it that you may put a bottle of propane inside to hide it. The glass stone they sell for in these fire pits looks nice in them when they're lit. But -- they do require a lot of stone, so if you go this way, be sure to buy enough.

It will give off plenty of heat just like any open fire. The more wood you put on, the more heat.

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

I would set the legs on concrete blocks, stepping stone type and not build a huge roaring fire. Love mine, hope you find it camp fire relaxing, just be careful with fire.

Its not really necessary. If you put brick in the bottom the bottom might get to hot. I don't know what its made out of but it might not last took long at the high heat.

Yes there is. I bought this for emergency use in the case of a disaster or down grid, I would be able to have controlled usable fire. I've used it to practice and know how to use it if the need arises. It works great

You should always have a way to start fire. If in a city I suggest getting some sterno. That way you can boil water.

It's there to use.to pull out the tray that holds the coals. In case it is hot from use one. An use the hook.

I don't use mine for that, but I'm sure it would be excellent for that. Because it is heavy it has excellent heat conduction. Yes, I use mine to make jam - which involves high gas flame ovten for extended time.

First you have to have a brace bit with a drill bit or an electric drill with with a drill bit. Or I suppose you could weld or braze it but then you would probably have to paint it and also put out the fire.

Hi there. Gas burning fire pits need two things, proper clearance and ventilation, to use safely.

Yes but you risk losing heat as the coals die. You'd do better with a grill you could add fuel to or a gas grill

It's easy, just make sure you clean the grease trap often. We've had some flames, I think it's because the grease trap sits under the fire bowl, so if you forget to empty it, you end up with a fire!

Yes, you can. I placed mine in a standard metal fire pit and that works too.

No, I bought the rapidfire chimney started to go with it. The propane started would be very handy though.
