FAQ
How does the iron oxide patina change over time?
The iron oxide patina is a living finish that naturally deepens and develops character with each fire. Over time, the steel takes on a rich, rustic appearance unique to your specific pit and climate. This is considered a desirable feature - not a defect. To allow the patina to develop properly, avoid tarping the fire pit (tarps can blacken the patina and stop oxidation), keep wet leaves and debris off the steel during the maturing process, and simply enjoy building fires regularly.
Can I use the Manta Ray fire pit on a wood deck?
For wood burning use on a deck, we recommend placing the fire pit on a non-combustible surface such as a stone paver, concrete pad, or a fire-rated deck protector mat. The gas and propane burner variants produce a more controlled flame and are generally better suited to deck use, but always check local fire codes and maintain safe clearances from structures. When in doubt, contact your local fire marshal for guidance.
What is the difference between Match Lit and AWEIS ignition?
Match lit systems require you to manually ignite the burner with a long match or lighter after turning on the gas - it's simple, reliable, and has no electronic components to maintain. The AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) by Fire by Design offers push-button convenience, flame sensing safety shutoff, and a windproof ignition design, making it ideal for frequent use or in exposed outdoor areas. The AWEIS system includes a 24V AC transformer and fire module and is the premium choice for ease and safety.
Does the Manta Ray fire pit require assembly?
The Manta Ray arrives on a boxed pallet and is largely ready to use. Gas and propane variants will require connecting the provided flex line, valve, and burner plate, which is straightforward with the included components. The wood burning version is essentially ready to use right out of the box - as noted by one customer who used it the very same night it arrived.
How is the Manta Ray fire pit shipped?
The Manta Ray ships on a boxed pallet via freight carrier due to its 135 lb weight. Delivery is curbside by default - the pallet will be left at your driveway. We recommend having an extra person on hand to help move it to your desired location. Please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery ETA or to arrange any special shipping accommodations.
Can I get the Manta Ray in a custom color?
Yes! In addition to the standard iron oxide patina finish (included at no extra cost), Fire Pit Art offers custom powder coating colors for an additional $800. Powder coating provides a durable, uniform color finish and is a great option if you want to match the pit to your outdoor decor. Contact us for available color options before placing your order.
