Can this fire pit be place on a wood deck?

I would say you could. I would purchase one of those fire proof grill mats under it in case you build a big fire. The bowl would not touch the deck but the base does get hot and leave marks on the deck.

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.

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.

Yes, you can put the fire ring itself anywhere. I had a cement fire ring built into my patio with a gas line run into the ring and I just set the Napoleon grill into the ring and connect up my gas line with a quick connect. If you want to raise it up off the deck by building a stone ring that will work provided you have a way to run your gas line to it.

I don't see why not. I do it on the deck. How close are you to others would be the question, because it does smoke?

The center of the bowl has a small hole (maybe 1-2" diameter) for rain drainage but ash and embers fall through the center onto whatever is underneath the pit. Personally, I'd stay away from starting a fire on or around wood that is not intended for burning purposes (ie wood decking).

Hi George, the best answer we can come with is probably. The main thing would be the size of the pit. When you use this under a grill, the charcoal tray/gas jets are probably 24 inches above the pad. A fire pit would be a bit closer. You might contact the company for a definitive answer. Sorry I can't be more decisive about this. I would,hate to have you with a mmelted mess or fire on your deck!

Ours sits on a wooden deck with no issues...the fire is a long ways from the wood. Great unit, Blue Rhino is also outstanding at customer service. We had a question and got a human, even on the weekends!

This fire pit was created for the aesthetics, not to use as a grill. Even with hot dogs, things would get very messy. Let's just say... I wouldn't.JK

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.

Yes, the bottom is directly on the floor and the sides snap to it . It would contain firewood without a problem in my opinion.

I think it would. My concern would be the bottom getting hot on the woods deck. It is elevated, but heat will get to the deck

I believe that you could use this Deck Box to store fireplace wood. I suggest that it would be safest to do so if the box were placed on flat level ground.

The short answer is No. The heat generated from a wood fire is quite hot and will warp a composite deck. I've see where wooden decks have caught fire and a composite would do the same.

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.

I would not recommend that you use this on a wood deck. If you had something fireproof underneath - some sort of mat maybe. Otherwise, it's best used on the ground. Nice firepit though

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 I have mine on a wood gazebo. The flames are nice and contained. Smores are super!

I think using this on a wooden deck would be inviting trouble. The Weber doesn't have screened sides either so a coal popping out of the fire onto the deck could easily happen. I think your better off using a chimnea and although not sold at amazon, I really like the big green egg ones - http://www.biggreenegg.com/chiminea.html Good luck.
