Ohio Flame

What makes Ohio Flame fire pits different?

The answer is simple…steel thickness. The big difference between our Fire Pits and the ones that you’ll find at those large box stores is the thickness of the steel we use. The Fire Pits found at those retail stores are very light weight and use foreign sheet metal. This sheet metal, on average, is only .017″ thick (we’ve checking using a micrometer)! They do this because it cheaper; cheaper to purchase and cheaper to handle and ship. And they know that when it rusts out, you’ll be back to buy another one. We use steel that is much thicker, on average .174″+. Exact steel thickness depends on the model and size of the Fire Pit. We choose to purchase American steel sourced from local steel mills from here in Ohio. We like quality steel and supporting our local economy.
