No, the iron oxide finish is designed to be maintenance-free. It will naturally develop a darkening patina over time, which actually acts as a protective layer for the steel.

We do not recommend placing this fire pit directly on a wooden deck or composite surface. Because it is a wood-burning vessel, it generates significant heat that could damage or ignite combustible materials underneath; it is best suited for stone, concrete, or brick patios.

Since the basin is a solid, continuous piece, you will need to scoop out the ashes manually once the fire pit has completely cooled. The integrated 1.5-inch drain helps prevent water buildup, but it is not designed to pass ash through.

While the outer ring is designed for resting feet or beverages, it can become quite hot depending on the size and duration of your fire. Use caution and test the temperature before resting anything on it.

The interior paint is high-heat resistant and designed for durability, but it will naturally wear down over time due to direct contact with fire and embers. You can touch it up with high-heat spray paint if you prefer to maintain a uniform black interior, though it is not strictly necessary for the structural integrity of the steel.
