Fire Pit Art Crater Fire Pit


Description

The Fire Pit Art Crater is a timeless, minimalist fire pit crafted from heavy-gauge steel and finished in a rich Iron Oxide Patina that deepens and matures with every fire. Its wide, deep bowl is purpose-built to roll flames beautifully, trap heat, and shield against wind - making it a natural centerpiece for any outdoor gathering. Available in wood burning, natural gas, and liquid propane configurations, the Crater fits seamlessly into backyards, patios, and outdoor living spaces of all kinds.

Each gas-burning version is outfitted with premium components, including a HPC Stainless Steel Penta burner, brass fittings, and a Dante valve - so you get powerful, campfire-style flames with minimal maintenance. For the ultimate in convenience, the AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) option adds electronic ignition with flame sensing and wind-proof technology. The Crater is built to last a lifetime and is proudly backed by Fire Pit Art's commitment to American craftsmanship.

FAQ

Does the Iron Oxide Patina require any maintenance?

The Iron Oxide Patina is a natural, living finish that develops and deepens with each fire - no painting or coating is required. Fire Pit Art recommends allowing the piece to mature with each use and keeping wet leaves and debris off the steel during the maturing process. Do not cover the fire pit with a tarp, as this can blacken the patina, transfer color from the tarp, and stop the natural oxidation process. A proper fire pit cover is recommended instead.

Can I convert from wood burning to gas later?

The Crater is configured at the time of manufacture for your chosen fuel type. While the bowl shape is the same across all variants, the gas models include specific burner hardware, a valve, and a burner plate that are fitted during production. If you anticipate wanting gas in the future, it is best to select a gas model upfront. Contact Fire Pit Art directly for any conversion inquiries.

What is the difference between Match Lit and AWEIS ignition?

Match Lit systems use solid brass burners that you ignite manually with a match or lighter. They are simple, durable, and require no electricity. AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) is an electronic ignition system by Fire by Design that lights automatically at the push of a button. It features flame sensing technology and a wind-proof design, making it the safest and most convenient option. AWEIS requires a 24V AC power connection near the fire pit.

How does the Crater ship, and will it arrive assembled?

Due to its 190 lb weight, the Crater ships via freight carrier on a pallet. Delivery logistics and ETAs can vary - please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com to confirm shipping details for your area. The fire pit bowl arrives largely assembled; gas models require connecting the burner, flex line, and valve per the included instructions.

Is lava rock included with gas models?

Yes - all gas-burning Crater models (both Match Lit and AWEIS) include lava rock as part of the complete package, along with a flex line, Dante valve, burner plate, and the HPC Stainless Steel Penta burner.

What accessories are available for the Crater?

Fire Pit Art offers several accessories designed specifically to work with the Crater, including the Artisan Spark Guard (SG-36.0) for wood burning use and a 36" Canvas Fire Pit Cover to protect your investment from the elements. A personalized decorative base is also available if you want to elevate the look of your setup.
