Our stainless steel version of the Mini Fire Pit, the small 400mm Woodee, together with the Cooking Set is perfect for smaller spaces and fewer people and enjoys all the design benefits of the larger family fire pit. It will not rust like mild steel, but as it heats will temper and take on a honey and bronze coloured patina which will make it look like a piece of sculpture in your setting. Created to sit around with family and friends, this is not only a superb fire pit, but a barbecue, grill and outdoor stove.
British built and designed in Herefordshire. Made from thick stainless steel, strong welds and fixed legs. The Grill is made of 6mm stainless steel, is perfect to cook on and will not warp in the heat. This is a safe, incredibly durable fire pit that will stand the test of time and the great British weather. It can be left outdoors all year around as it will be unaffected by the weather.

How does it work?
Add dry wood, preferably seasoned or kiln dried split logs, into the base of the fire pit and light using a natural fire lighter.
Fire needs oxygen to burn effectively and the Woodee provides this in abundance. The clever design draws in oxygen from every angle through oak leaf shaped air vents to the heart of the fire. This enables it to get hot quickly and ignites the smoke. You will therefore find it much cleaner, have less smoke and be more efficient than a bowl, dish or solid shaped fire pit. It will also be less affected by gusts of wind than other fire pits as the tall straight sides protects the flame.
Cooking on your grill:
To cook on your fire pit, you are aiming for heat and not roaring flames. Embers or low flames are best if using wood, or grey or silver colouration if using charcoal. Generally, your fire will need to burn for around 40-45 mins before you start cooking which will give it time to build up a body of heat to cook upon. Once you are ready put the grill on and you are set to go. You can cook directly upon it like a traditional barbecue or you can place pans or cookware on top of it and cook in that. The long handled slice is perfect to help you turn your food. For recipe ideas check out our blog.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. Once the fire is cold use a plastic dustpan to scoop the ash out of the base of the fire pit. Being made of stainless steel means that you can wash and scrub this with hot soapy water and it won't affect the metal - you could even power wash it if you wanted to give it a good clean. To clean the grill use hot soapy water and a scrubbing brush or wire brush. It will not go back to the shiny silver colour, but will take on a honey or bronze colour as the metal tempers under the heat.
Additionally, unlike mild steel it will not leave any rust marks on your patio.
In the base we cut out another oak leaf shaped drainage hole. This allows rain water to pass through ensuring you are not left with a puddle of water in your fire pit during inclement weather.
Use the Woodee simply for warmth, alternatively with this set you can cook on it or to use as a stunning garden table.
