Art you can gather around

Fire Pit Art is the Tennessee workshop of artist Rick Wittrig. Every piece is cut from heavy American steel, welded by hand and numbered by the artist on a brass plaque — functional sculpture that looks as good cold as it does lit.

We are an authorised Fire Pit Art dealer. Your fire pit is made to order for you and ships free by freight, straight from the workshop to anywhere in the contiguous United States.

Questions people ask before they buy

We are an authorised Fire Pit Art dealer. These answers come from the maker and from us — we deliver these pieces and stand behind them.

Who makes these fire pits?

Fire Pit Art, a family workshop in Lebanon, Tennessee, founded by artist Rick Wittrig. Every piece is cut and welded to order and numbered by the artist. We are an authorised dealer, and your fire pit ships straight from their workshop.

Wood, natural gas or propane — which should I choose?

Most designs come in five versions. Wood burning is the fire pit as designed. Match lit adds a stainless steel HPC burner, valve, flex line and lava rock, and you light it by hand. Electronic ignition adds Fire by Design’s AWEIS system: it lights at the push of a button, senses the flame and needs an outdoor power outlet. Pick natural gas or propane to match your supply, because the burners are built differently.

Do gas models need installing?

Yes. Have a licensed gas fitter connect gas models to your natural gas line or propane supply. Wood-burning models need no connection. They arrive ready to use.

Will it rust?

Carbon-steel pieces are meant to. The outside forms a natural iron-oxide patina that protects the steel and needs no maintenance. It darkens a little with use, then settles for good. Don’t cover it with a tarp while it matures. The stainless steel designs (Bella Vita and Fire Surfer) do not patina.

How does delivery work?

Delivered free to residential addresses in the contiguous United States (the lower 48 and DC). We cannot ship Fire Pit Art pieces outside that area.

Every piece is made to order at the Fire Pit Art workshop in Lebanon, Tennessee, and shipped by freight direct to you. Allow 3–5 weeks from order to delivery. The carrier will call ahead to book a delivery slot. Please inspect the crate before you sign for it — transit damage must be noted on the delivery receipt.

What is the warranty, and who do I call?

Fire Pit Art gives a 10-year structural warranty on carbon-steel fire pits and 100 years on stainless steel. HPC gives the gas burners a lifetime warranty. The patina finish itself isn’t covered, because it is meant to change. Contact us, not the maker: as an authorised dealer we take it up with Fire Pit Art for you.

Can I use it on a wooden deck?

Only with a non-combustible pad or base underneath and clear space all around. Never use it under a roof or awning. Check your local fire rules, as some areas restrict open wood fires.
