Sunken fire pit, portable or tripod: which format?

Brasero enterré HOLE en acier Corten naturel, vasque de Ø 136 cm encastrée au sol, feu allumé

At BARAZZI, a sunken fire pit, a portable fire pit and a tripod fire pit answer three different needs on a hotel terrace or in a restaurant garden: vanishing into the ground, moving with the evening, or raising the fire high above the floor. The AK 47 collection covers these formats with the sunken HOLE of 136 cm in diameter, the DISCOLO of 120 cm and the TRIPEE, 282 cm high overall, completed by the compact MANGIAFUOCO of 80 cm and the square TOAST 125. Here are their dimensions, finishes, accessories on quotation and installation constraints.

Sunken fire pit: the HOLE, recessed and walkable

The HOLE is a wood-burning outdoor fire pit recessed into the ground. Its steel bowl measures 136 cm in diameter for 20 cm in height: once in place, only the rim shows. The finish offered is natural Corten. The HOLE comes with its closing plate, which isolates combustion residue and makes the fire pit walkable once it is out: you can step on it, which suits paths, pool decks and terraces where nothing may protrude. It arrives as an assembly kit with instructions; a stainless steel barbecue grill of 94 cm in diameter is offered on quotation. Recessing is planned when the floor is laid.

Portable fire pit: the DISCOLO, 120 cm in diameter

The DISCOLO is the portable fire pit of the AK 47 collection: a flat steel bowl of 120 cm in diameter and 18 cm in height, in natural Corten, set down wherever the evening takes place: a fire or a barbecue on a beach, in a garden or on a terrace, with no installation. Three accessories are offered on quotation: a galvanised steel tripod 21 cm high that raises the bowl, a stainless steel barbecue grill of 94 cm in diameter, and a black Cordura nylon carrying bag of 120 cm in diameter. The DISCOLO is supplied as an assembly kit with instructions.

Tripod fire pit: the TRIPEE, fire held high

The TRIPEE hangs its bowl from a steel tripod, like a tepee pitched around the fire. The whole piece takes up 298 cm in diameter on the ground for 282 cm in height; the bowl itself measures 120 cm in diameter. The finish is oxidised steel. This tripod fire pit is seen from afar and gives the fire a verticality that no bowl on the ground offers. It stands without recessing, but its height calls for free clearance above and around, away from parasols and awnings. A stainless steel barbecue grill of 94 cm in diameter is offered on quotation. Supplied as an assembly kit with instructions, it is maintained with the kit provided.

Compact fire pit: the MANGIAFUOCO, 80 cm in diameter

The MANGIAFUOCO measures 80 cm in diameter for 45 cm in height, in steel, offered in white or Vintage brown. Its simple shape fits any architectural setting, at the centre of a seating arrangement; closed with its plate, it serves as a coffee table. A stainless steel barbecue grill of 51 cm in diameter and a black cover of 80 cm in diameter are offered on quotation. The oxidised finish is maintained with the kit provided, the white one with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Delivered as an assembly kit with instructions.

Square fire pit: the TOAST 125, wood as part of the design

The TOAST 125 is the square fire pit of the AK 47 collection: 125 × 125 cm for 35 cm in height, in steel with an oxidised finish, available in natural Corten, Vintage brown, black, larch and stainless steel; a 160 × 160 cm version, 40 cm high, exists on quotation. The wood completes the fire pit and defines its design. The square format lines up with paving or a bench, where a round bowl would leave lost corners. Supplied with its closing plate, as an assembly kit with instructions. On quotation: a stainless steel barbecue grill of 42.5 × 42.5 cm, a fire screen in smoked tempered glass or stainless steel 22 cm high, and a black cover of 125 cm.

Installing a Corten steel fire pit: the patina forms on site

The HOLE, the DISCOLO and the TOAST 125 in natural Corten are delivered in Corten steel in its natural state, a blue-black shade. The protective patina then forms under natural weathering, at a pace that depends on exposure. During this first stage, the Corten may leak oxide that stains the surface on which the fire pit stands: natural behaviour of the material, to be anticipated on light paving or on decking timber. At the end of the cycle, the steel reaches its final rust-brown shade. For a recessed HOLE, the surround is chosen from the outset with this maturation in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Can you walk on a sunken fire pit when it is out?

Yes, on the HOLE: its closing plate covers the 136 cm bowl, isolates combustion residue and makes the fire pit walkable. Closed, it disappears into the floor of a terrace or a path; you do not step on it until the embers are isolated under the plate.

Which fire pit should I choose to move it from one terrace to another?

The DISCOLO: a flat bowl of 120 cm in diameter and 18 cm in height, in natural Corten steel, set down with no installation. Its Cordura nylon carrying bag, its 21 cm galvanised steel tripod and its stainless steel barbecue grill are offered on quotation, to carry it, raise it or cook on it depending on the evening.

How much space should I allow for a tripod fire pit?

The TRIPEE takes up a circle of 298 cm in diameter on the ground and rises to 282 cm, with a 120 cm bowl hanging from its oxidised steel tripod. It needs free clearance above and around, away from parasols, awnings and low trees, with no recessing.
