Check out the FAQ section or our YouTube video to help you decide. Keep in mind that to control smoke in smokeless fire rings, the fire needs to heat the metal, directing the smoke upward and away. Check out our blog post on Smokeless Fire Ring Fixes Where There is Smoke for how and why. Why Corten Steel? Here’s a rundown on some of the benefits: It has a reported life span of up to 120 years! (You could pass your fire ring down to the next generation!) Corten Steel has self-healing properties. If the fire ring becomes scratched or rusty, then it has the capability to halt any further corrosion. This means that the rustic patina is a protective coating in itself! Absolutely ZERO maintenance steel – painting it would only add to the aesthetic of your backyard. Again, that rust is a protective layer. Corten Steel boasts an impressive durability, with a rust rate 25 times slower than that of carbon (a.k.a. mild) steel. This reduced rusting pace ensures that Corten Steel avoids the rusty run-off often associated with carbon steel, particularly when you accelerate the rusting process. Additionally, the full rusting of a Corten Steel ring typically takes 2-6 years. You can use an accelerator (like salt water spray) to speed up the process. Over the lifetime of the corten steel, it will change from an orange-brown to a darker golden brown. It is made by US Steel, with its corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA.

Resulting in a total diameter of 36 inches measured from the outside of the lip. All smokeless fire pit inserts will arrive ready to be painted, as they are sanded raw steel. The ring will rust if not painted. Corten fire pits are not recommended to be painted; however, check out the FAQ section for more info on this, or watch our YouTube video.
