The included components (flex line, Dante valve, burner plate) are all high quality, but safe gas hookup requires professional handling to meet local codes and ensure your safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is Iron Oxide Patina and will it look different over time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eIron Oxide Patina is the natural finish that develops on bare steel as it oxidizes - similar to a controlled, artisan rust. It starts as a bright raw steel color and deepens into warm orange, amber, and brown tones with each use and exposure to the elements. Fire Pit Art recommends allowing the piece to mature naturally: avoid tarping it (which can blacken the patina and transfer color), and keep wet leaves and debris off it during the maturing process. Over time, the finish becomes richer and more unique to your piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan the Third Rock be used indoors or under a covered patio?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eNo - this fire pit is intended for outdoor use only. Wood-burning and open-flame gas fire pits produce carbon monoxide and combustion byproducts that require open-air ventilation. Even under a pergola or covered patio, ensure there is ample airflow and check local codes for open-flame restrictions in partially enclosed spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow heavy is the Third Rock and how do I move it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Third Rock weighs 250 lbs and ships on a freight pallet.
