Indoor/Outdoor Fire Pit by John Beck Steel

2007-06-27-firepit.jpgJohn Beck Steel makes a compact modern industrial firepit that can be used indoors and out.

It's fueled by canned alcohol gel, which will burn for 3-4 hours and produces no fumes, smoke or ash. For evening outdoor fires, it is also available in citronella.

The height is 18 inches, with a 14" diameter, meaning it will be an easy fit for smaller outside spaces such as balconies or urban patios, unlike many other fire pits.

2007-06-27-jbfire.jpgIt can be ordered in different finishes - black patina, brushed steel, rust patina, natural black and raw steel.

John's easy instructions:
1. Remove fire pit lid.
2. Open cans of fuel gel.
3. Replace fire pit lid.
4. Light fuel gel.
5. Enjoy!


Priced at $390., it is available direct from John Beck Steel or through Zella Brown here in Chicago.

    Doesn't it sort of remind you of a metal trash can fire?

    Bring that "under the bridge/street corner" vibe to your balcony today!
