THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING A COPPER FIRE PIT

As the weather warms up and the sun shines brighter, it’s the perfect time to bring your friends and family outside for a backyard barbecue or a night under the stars. Once the sun goes down and the temperatures start to drop, you’ll need a reliable heat source to keep everyone comfortable. 

While traditional and gas fire pits may be popular options, a copper fire pit is a unique choice with many benefits. Copper fire pits offer a wood-burning fire that’s perfect for roasting marshmallows, and they add a rustic, minimalist aesthetic to your outdoor space. They’re easy to relocate, have deep bowls for safe fires, come in a variety of styles and sizes, and are built to last.

At Patioline, we believe in exceptional craftsmanship, and our fire pits and tables are no exception. Our handcrafted copper fire pits, made by skilled artisans in Turkey, offer a wide variety of styles and sizes to choose from.

DO COPPER FIRE PITS RUST? 

Copper is a popular material for fire pits due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Unlike steel and other metals, copper does not rust, which is a major advantage when it comes to outdoor use. 

Over time, copper develops a natural patina, which is a thin layer of oxidation that can add a unique character to your firepit. This patina is often seen as desirable and can take on various hues depending on the environment it’s in. 

However, if you prefer to keep your copper fire pit looking shiny and new, regular cleaning can help prevent the development of a patina.

How Do You Clean a Copper Fire Pit?

If you choose to clean your copper fire pit, you can do so in a few simple steps:

1. Remove any debris from the fire pit using a brush or broom.
2. For any stubborn debris, use a mallet and putty knife to chip it away, being careful not to scratch the copper.
3. Use hot, soapy water and a soft cloth to scrub the interior of the fire pit, paying special attention to any areas with buildup or residue.
4. Rinse the soap and water thoroughly to make sure there is no soap left on the copper.
5. Use a dry cloth to wipe the fire pit dry, being sure to remove any remaining moisture.

ARE COPPER FIRE PITS WARM?

Copper is highly conductive, which means it can easily transfer heat from one place to another. This property makes copper an excellent material for fire pits, as it can quickly spread warmth and create a cozy atmosphere. 

When you light a fire in a copper fire pit, the heat from the flames is distributed evenly throughout the copper bowl, radiating outwards to warm up the surrounding area. This makes copper fire pits an especially popular choice for outdoor gatherings.

HOW DO YOU SET UP A COPPER FIRE PIT? 

Setting up a copper fire pit requires just a few simple steps to ensure it’s safe and functional. 

First, choose a location that’s away from any materials that can be damaged by the heat, such as wood or plastic. It’s also important to use the stand that comes with your firepit to elevate it off the ground, as this will prevent heat damage to any surfaces underneath. 

Another option is to use a fire pit pad or mat, which is designed to protect surfaces from heat damage and can be a great investment for your outdoor space. 

Once you’ve chosen a safe and secure spot for your copper fire pit, add some kindling and light a fire to enjoy a warm and inviting evening outdoors.

ARE COPPER FIRE PITS SAFE? 

Copper fire pits are safe for outdoor use. These types of fire pits are designed with a deep bowl that’s intended to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading. 

For added safety, you can use a spark screen on your copper fire pit to prevent embers and sparks from escaping. 

Always practice basic fire safety precautions, such as keeping a fire extinguisher or water source nearby, not leaving a fire unattended, and keeping children and pets at a safe distance.

CREATE YOUR OWN BACKYARD SANCTUARY
