Uniflame Firehouse with Chimney, Black

I’ve had this fire pit a few years now. I’m in a fairly suburban area so I like the chimney top sort of hides some of the flames a bit. The door is a little wonky, but it’s lasted a good while. One thing I would do better is to empty the ash collector more often as leaving it full and allowing it to get wet causes the thin little ashtray to rust out. Other than that, though, it’s been a great unit.

If you want to be the envy of your RV seasonal campground, you have to get this fireplace. So neat!! I plan to raise mine on 8 cement patio squares. They should do the trick. This was super easy to put together. I did buy the paint that was suggested in the reviews. But, for now, I just made sure it was completely cleaned out and dried before covering it. There are plenty of places for water to sit, especially after it rained. Make sure to remove the ash drawer, I can see where rust would begin there quickly, if you don't empty and dry. Plan to use the high heat paint soon to keep it nice. Can't wait for my next campfire!!!

very cheep don't by it !!

This is a decent fire pit for the price. It arrived banged up a little bit, which you can see in the photos, and it feels like it is fairly thin metal. It is lightweight and I highly recommend spraying with high-temp BBQ paint to help prevent any rusting and also to give it a better look. I would also recommend purchasing a cover for it as well. With how cheap the materials are, it will rust very easily if these steps aren't taken. I would give this fire pit five stars if the material wasn't so cheap. I really like the fact that it has an ash tray for easy removal and cleanup.It was pretty easy to put together although some pieces didn't fit quite right and were a little off. Again, this is not a high-end fire pit by any means and these types of things are to be expected.I used this Rust-Oleum 241169 High Heat Ultra Enamel Spray, Black, 12-Ounce BBQ paint, you can find it cheaper at a big box store but make sure you get the semi-gloss paint. I used two cans of this to spray the outside of the top pieces, chimney and top along with the legs. You don't want to spray paint any part of this that will come in direct contact with the flame as it will burn the paint and then you'll have burning paint fumes. I would say I put on four good coats of paint and it looks a lot better and seems to be protected a lot better since we've had some really hard downpours lately and there isn't any rust. I would also recommend getting a heavy duty cover if you really want this thing to last. Here's what I purchased, used, on Amazon, but I purchased the Large version instead of the listed XL version and it fits perfectly. Classic Accessories Veranda by Classic Accessories Veranda Tall Stand Up Fire Pit Cover I've also attached a picture of what it looks like with the cover, forgot to take pictures of it after getting painted.

Well we bought it. Based on reviews and comparing it to a 5 year old Chiminea. I saw the reviews about rust so we bought two cans of Rustolium One can, can put a thin coat on all the parts. I wasn't happy with that so a second can was ordered newspaper and a good air mask and 1/2 hour is all it takes... the second treatment 2-3 days later same thing. Check out frequently bought together,. don't run down to the hardware store - it isn't stocked at most places. I found this out by accident and wasted an hour+. I like the clean out, I like the removable grill (Don't leave it in if you are not cooking.) Assembly without reading is still about a half hour. I wish the rectangle chimney was an additional foot higher. The legs appear to be cast so we plan to use some slates and brick to raise it up - hate bending over. Wish this thing was 10% larger. The important part is that wood doesn't need to be cut in half to fit inside, Split logs will fit unlike most of the stuff on Amazon. I plan to use it for parties and throw wings & drumsticks on it when the wood gets to coals. Yea folks with beer and hungry. Added 2019 It began to rust the first month I had it. Then...the door won't latch. Tiny little latch too. You will need a potholder to latch it back and only after you square it back up again which is difficult when hot. Too bad because it looks great and the concept is great. It's just made very cheap. One good thing though...it lasted 3 years? The bottom grate was the first to go. I cannot recommend this unit.

I read reviews before purchasing so I bought the pain needed to add a few more layers of protective coating like everyone suggested.( i put least 6 coats on it to be safe) We have used it nightly over a month now. It very cute, no signs of wear yet and its been in open sun and rained on a hand full of times so far. only downfall to me I notice is ashes fall out the bottom easily..so if you prepare ahead of time( ash catcher) its not a hassle at all. We prepped the deck for a safer burning experience..images provided to see what we did.

I love this piece. However I suggest anyone getting one, to also get the cover as the rain will cause rust. I purchased some extra high heat black flat paint to alleviate this issue. So far so good. I am not sure if I had not put the extra spray if it would have rusted before now, and I did not want to take that chance.The piece is beautiful and installation was a breeze. The seller was easy to work with when we have a couple of hiccups.

The first unit came damaged and had rust around the top of the hood and along the sides. Spreetail replaced the unit with a new one which now has rust on the entire unit including the side grates after being outside for only 2 weeks. Very disappointed with the quality - the company should have applied an anti-rust coating to withstand the elements. Would not buy again or recommend…
