A large fire pit is a wood-burning bowl of 150 to 300 cm in diameter, made to gather a hotel terrace, a restaurant garden or a rooftop around the flames. At BARAZZI, the largest formats come from the AK 47 collection: the ZERO in Ø 150, 200, 250 and 300 cm, the ERCOLE in concrete or marble up to Ø 250 cm, and the ARTÙ in chestnut wood at Ø 300 cm. The right diameter depends on the floor space available; the right spot depends on the flooring, because raw Corten steel can stain the surface it stands on while its patina matures.
Which diameters are available for a large fire pit?
The ZERO range is a low, round fire pit, 40 cm high from Ø 150 cm upwards, offered in six diameters: 100 and 120 cm (35 cm high), then 150, 200, 250 and 300 cm. The ZERO 200 and the ZERO 250 suit a restaurant terrace; the ZERO 300, at 3 m across, becomes the focal point of a hotel garden or a rooftop. The ERCOLE comes in Ø 120 cm (35 cm high), 150, 200 and 250 cm (42 cm high). The ARTÙ is the tallest of the three: Ø 300 cm and 49 cm high. All three are registered designs, made in Italy and covered by a 2-year warranty. Formats of 200 cm and over are grouped in the large fire pits collection.

Corten, stainless or powder-coated steel: the ZERO finishes
The ZERO comes in four families of finishes. The steel collection brings together natural Corten, stainless steel and three powder-coated shades: Vintage Brown, White and Black. The texture collection adds Iron Corten, Aluminium and Black Aluminium, available in Ø 150 and 200 cm, with Iron Corten also offered in Ø 300 cm. The wood collection clads the bowl in chestnut or Old Wood, from Ø 150 to Ø 300 cm. The keramik collection offers four porcelain stoneware finishes, Arlecchino, Bianco Greco, Botticino Dorato and Nero Ombrato, from Ø 100 to Ø 200 cm. Corten is supplied in its natural state, a blue-black shade: the rust-brown patina then develops with the weather, faster or slower depending on exposure, and this change of appearance is not a defect. The ZERO 150 and the ZERO 200 are shown in natural Corten; the other finishes are on quotation.

Concrete, marble or wood: ERCOLE and ARTÙ
For a large fire pit that is not all steel, the AK 47 collection offers two mineral materials and one timber. The concrete ERCOLE comes in three shades, Basic, White and Brown; the ERCOLE 250 Basic is the version shown at the displayed price. The marble ERCOLE comes in Rainforest Green and Rainforest Brown, including the ERCOLE 250 Rainforest Green. The four diameters, from 120 to 250 cm, are shared by both materials. The ARTÙ is a Ø 300 cm fire pit in chestnut wood, 49 cm high, the tallest in the range. In height, the ERCOLE measures 35 cm at Ø 120 cm and 42 cm from Ø 150 to 250 cm, 2 cm more than a ZERO of the same diameter. Their grills and covers follow the diameter, as they do for the ZERO; the fire screen exists only for the ZERO and the ARTÙ.

Where should a large fire pit be installed?
The first criterion is footprint: a ZERO 300 or an ARTÙ takes up a 3 m circle, plus the room needed to walk and sit around it. On a restaurant terrace, a Ø 150 or Ø 200 cm bowl leaves more space for tables; a Ø 250 or Ø 300 cm bowl is best kept for a garden, a private beach or a hotel rooftop where the fire is the centre of the space. The second criterion is the flooring. A natural Corten fire pit may release oxide residue during its first stage of maturation and stain the surface it stands on: either place it on a floor that accepts these marks, or choose a concrete or marble ERCOLE, a stainless steel, aluminium or porcelain stoneware ZERO, or a wooden ARTÙ. The third criterion is care: a soft cloth and warm water, with no abrasives, solvents or degreasers.

Grill, fire screen and cover: accessories on quotation
Each large AK 47 fire pit has accessories sized to its diameter. The stainless steel grill turns the bowl into a barbecue: Ø 51 cm for a ZERO or ERCOLE 150, Ø 69 cm for a Ø 200 and for the ARTÙ, Ø 81.6 cm for a ZERO 250, Ø 94 cm for a ZERO 300 or an ERCOLE 250. The 22 cm high fire screen, in smoked tempered glass or stainless steel, surrounds the bowl of the ZERO and the ARTÙ. The black cover protects the fire pit out of season and exists for every diameter of the three models. These accessories are not included in the displayed price of the product page: they are on quotation, as are finishes other than the one shown. All the wood-burning models in the collection, from Ø 100 cm to Ø 300 cm, are gathered under wood fire pits and in the wider fire pits and outdoor fireplaces range.
Frequently asked questions
What is the largest fire pit in the AK 47 collection?
The ZERO 300 and the ARTÙ both measure 300 cm in diameter. The ZERO 300 is 40 cm high and comes in natural Corten, Vintage Brown, Black, stainless steel, Iron Corten, chestnut or Old Wood; the ARTÙ is 49 cm high and comes only in chestnut wood. The ERCOLE stops at 250 cm.
Does a Corten fire pit stain the terrace?
It can during its first stage of maturation. Corten is supplied raw, blue-black, with no patina; as it oxidises in the open air it may release oxide residue that marks the surface next to it, before reaching its rust-brown shade. This is natural behaviour for the material, to be taken into account when choosing the spot or the finish.
Can a large fire pit be used as a barbecue?
Yes, with the stainless steel grill offered on quotation for each diameter: from Ø 43 cm for the smaller ZERO and ERCOLE to Ø 81.6 cm for the ZERO 250 and Ø 94 cm for the ZERO 300 and the ERCOLE 250. A 22 cm fire screen in smoked tempered glass or stainless steel completes the ZERO and the ARTÙ, and a black cover sized to the diameter protects them out of season.
