RB73 Bijuga Wood Burning Fireplace

No, the CorTen steel is designed to be maintenance-free. It naturally develops a protective rust-like patina over time that shields the metal from further corrosion, so you do not need to paint or seal it.

While the unit weighs 243 lbs, the integrated wheels and rear push bar are engineered to make repositioning straightforward on flat, solid surfaces like patios or paved garden areas. We recommend having a second person assist if you are moving it across uneven terrain.

No, the handles are crafted from merbau hardwood specifically to remain cool to the touch. This allows you to safely adjust the fireplace's position or access the firebox even while the unit is in use.

Yes, the Bijuga is built to withstand seasonal weather changes. Its durable steel construction is intended for permanent outdoor placement, and the patina process actually strengthens its resistance to the elements over time.

You should use dry, seasoned hardwood for the best performance. Avoid burning treated wood, painted wood, or softwoods like pine, as these can create excessive smoke and creosote buildup.
