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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I convert from wood burning to gas later?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe 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.

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.
