Vesuvius Fire Pit — A Monument to Fire

Inspired by the raw power of Italy’s Mount Vesuvius, this fire pit is nothing short of statuesque. Designed to command attention and built to burn, Vesuvius draws flame and smoke upward through its sculpted flue, sending firelight dancing into the night sky.

Its distinctive trilateral design shields the fire from wind while minimizing stray sparks and embers, allowing you to enjoy a safer, more focused flame. Crafted from ¼" thick mild carbon steel, the heavy-duty construction absorbs and radiates heat efficiently—delivering exceptional warmth that lingers long after the fire is lit.

Handmade to order by skilled Tennessee craftsmen in the heartland of America, the Vesuvius is built with uncompromising attention to detail and strength. This is not a disposable fire pit—it is one of the most durable steel fire pits made anywhere. The naturally weathered iron oxide patina is completely maintenance-free and designed to withstand all seasons, year after year. Leave it outdoors in rain, snow, or sun with confidence. Over time, the patina deepens and darkens, maturing into a permanent finish that tells the story of countless fires shared.

Perfectly scaled for smaller spaces yet powerful in presence, Vesuvius is a functional work of art—engineered to last a lifetime and beyond.

Bring home a fire pit that will never wear out, never go out of style, and only gets better with age.

Each Fire Pit Art® creation is made from one quarter inch thick mild carbon steel and has an applied iron oxide patina on the outside. The interiors are hand rolled with a dense high temperature resistant coating and have a one and one half inch diameter rain drain in the bottom. There is no required maintenance even in cold, harsh environments and can be left outside year around. These fire pits are safe on wood or composite decking if they rest on a one and one half inch thick (or thicker) stone base that should be approximately three feet square. Artisan crafted fire screens with a wood loading hatch are available for most models. All designs are easily adapted to propane or natural gas equipment. Each fire pit is hand crafted and individually numbered on a small brass plaque attached to the base ring.

Do not tarp your fire pit, the tarp will cause the patina to blacken and stop the oxidation process.  In many cases the color of the tarp will transfer to the new steel. During the maturing process keep wet leaves and debris off the piece until the steel matures.  Allow the piece to mature with each fire.  Sit back, relax and enjoy your new Fire Pit Art®.
