is it safe to put this fire pit on the grass?

That would depend on two things:How dry is the grass(assuming it is not too tall)?How dry is the wood? Some sparks might get through the screen. I put mine in a bare spot or on concrete.

Keep the fire contained under the cover and you won't have any issues on grass but it is on the small side so just resist the temptation to build a raging bonfire and you'll be fine.

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

I would definitely NOT put in on the grass if you plan on moving it around. We used it on the grass one night for a party and it killed all the grass underneath it. The cover also does allow for burning embers of wood to come through, so be aware that anything nearby can be burned or potentially start on fire.

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.

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 really know but I would be real hesitant to locate any fire pit on a 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.

We have our Uniflame gas pit on our wooden deck. Nice for keeping things going on a cool evening. Since there are no sparks from the lava rocks and it has a very stable base, we don't have any concerns about using it on our wooden deck.

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'm using it for an outdoor gas fire pit. Works fine, but I'm experimenting with the gas vent to avoid blue flame.

It's like any other fire pit. We usually have chairs around and it's not a problem. Great having a place to put down your drink.

I don't think so, it will probably end up burning the grass away underneath. Plus it may end up sinking in the dirt as legs are hollow pipes.

The fire pit has a vent on the bottom, and although there is a cover you can rotate to shut the vents, it could be a problem. I have mine on a paver patio.

I love this fire pit. I have not had any trouble with the ashes falling out the sides. I do empty the ashes after each use, though.

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. :)

Yes, we currently use the fire pit on our composite deck. The flame is large but the wind will blow the flame out before it would blow it towards the railing. We keep it about 1 foot away from the railing just incase.

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.

It sits on top of the super big sky, not down in it. You could burn wood on top of it but the point of a fire pit is to control and contain the fire, you would want to ensure the fire would be contained somehow. Otherwise, it is good steel and would hold up for a while. Over time, the steel will rust some and begin to warp from the direct heat of the coals and then cooling slowly... kind of like annealing it. but it will take a while to hurt it.

I have never used any type of pavers under my firepits. We have it in our yard, eventually the grass dies from lack of sun and you have dirt left. Never any chance of fire spreading unless it is that dry out and then we do not build a fire if it is windy.
