Kokopelli Lizard Steel Fire Pit
Description
The Kokopelli Lizard Steel Fire Pit is a stunning work of functional art that pays homage to the American Southwest. Combining the inquisitive gecko, the bright noon-day sun, and the Hopi Indian God Kokopelli, this fire pit is as much a conversation piece as it is a source of warmth. Handcrafted from heavy-gauge steel, it develops a rich Iron Oxide patina over time that deepens with every fire, giving each piece a unique, lived-in character.
Available in wood burning, natural gas, and liquid propane configurations - including All Weather Electronic Ignition (AWEIS) options - this fire pit is equally at home in a backyard patio, a desert courtyard, or a mountain retreat. Whether you're gathering with family around the flames or simply releasing your free spirit, the Kokopelli Fire Pit brings beauty and bold Southwestern style to every outdoor setting.

FAQ
How does the Iron Oxide Patina finish develop over time?
The Iron Oxide Patina is a natural oxidation process that gives the steel its signature rustic, reddish-brown appearance. Over time and with each fire, the patina deepens and matures, making your fire pit more visually striking as it ages. To protect the process, avoid tarping the fire pit - tarps can blacken the patina and transfer color to the steel. Keep wet leaves and debris off the piece during the maturing phase.
What is the difference between the Match Lit and AWEIS ignition systems?
The Match Lit system requires you to manually light the burner using a match or lighter after opening the gas valve - it's straightforward, reliable, and uses the same patented HPC Penta stainless steel burner. The AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) adds push-button or automatic ignition with flame sensing technology and a wind-proof design, powered by a 24V AC transformer. AWEIS is ideal for those who want maximum convenience and safety without manually lighting the burner.
Can I convert my fire pit from wood burning to gas later?
Gas conversion kits are available, but it is recommended that you select your preferred fuel type at the time of purchase to ensure the correct fitment and components are included. Contact Fire Pit Art or our team at service@omahasportsandgames.com to discuss conversion options for your specific model.
How is this fire pit shipped, and do I need to be home for delivery?
Due to its 185 lb weight, the Kokopelli Fire Pit ships via freight carrier on a pallet. Freight deliveries typically require someone to be present to receive the shipment. The carrier will generally contact you to schedule a delivery window. Please email service@omahasportsandgames.com for a delivery ETA after placing your order.
Is the powder coat color upgrade worth it?
The Iron Oxide Patina finish is included at no extra cost and is the most popular choice - it develops naturally over time and complements the Southwestern design beautifully. Powder coat colors are available for an additional fee and provide a uniform, long-lasting color that won't change with use. If you have a specific patio color scheme or prefer a consistent look, the powder coat upgrade is a great investment.
Does the fire pit come with a warranty?
The HPC stainless steel Penta burner included with gas models comes with a lifetime warranty from HPC. For warranty details on the steel fire pit body and other components, please contact our team at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll connect you with the manufacturer's current warranty terms.
