Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ownership, shipping, customization, and long-term durability.
Is a fire grate necessary?
Not strictly, but it does help. The fire grate raises your logs up from the floor of the fire pit for better airflow, allowing oxygen to fuel the fire for a cleaner burn.
Will the spark screen last as long as the firepit?
Yes. All spark screens come with our 10-year guarantee against rust-through and burn-through. The mesh in the screen is made from 304 stainless steel and stands up to the heat.
How does shipping work?
All orders are available for free pickup from our Guelph, ON location. If that is too far, we package your order in a box or on a pallet (for larger units) and ship it right to your door. The driver will call ahead to schedule a delivery window and place the package directly on your driveway. Be sure to inspect the package before the driver leaves to catch any shipping damage (not common but it happens sometimes).
Read the full shipping and returns policyHow do I add a custom cutout to my fire pit?
Custom cutouts are laser cut into the side panels of your fire pit. Because of this, they need to be fabricated before the fire pit is welded together and cannot be added later. Right now, custom cutouts are handled directly through our team, so contact us to discuss your design and get a quote. We will always send you a detailed drawing before anything is built to ensure it is exactly what you are looking for.
Will my Iron Embers fire pit rust?
Over the course of several seasons, it is normal to see a small amount of corrosion on your fire pit, primarily where the fire touches. Our fire pits are coated with a high-temp paint, but that can deteriorate over time. For best results, keep up with maintenance using our signature touch-up paint and protect the unit from standing moisture when possible. Our 10-year guarantee covers rust-through and burn-through, but regular maintenance is still part of owning a steel fire pit.
