Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The copper pan actually weighs 10.5 lbs and seems heavy-duty enough, but I don't plan to throw it around. Legs weigh 5#, grate weighs 19#, and the large size dome spark screen (separate purchase) weighs 14#. Other measurements: Leg unit 7" high, 26" diam; Grate 31.25" diam, which is the size of the top ledge in the copper pan. There is a second ledge part way down the slope of the pan, at 22.5", and a third, not quite so clear cut, at 17", each of which can accommodate a charcoal grate for barbecueing.
The hinged dome spark screen sits on the grate, not the copper pan, fitting inside those 4 little fingers sticking up from the grate, thus holding it securely even when I rather roughly tossed the hinged part through its arc during our first fire. The front half of the screen slides up and over, into the back half of the screen, and it moves easily.
Our wood fire burned very well, very clean, because the high grate lets it get plenty of air. Haven't tried charcoal lower down in the pan yet. The copper does change color with high heat & flames, but that looks just fine to me, though others who expect it to stay perfectly shiny may be forewarned.
The screen stopped major sparks, but did let tiny ones through, especially through the open space under the top/back half and above the lower/front half. So to be safe here in tinder-dry country, we'll only burn wood in it after the rains have dampened the wildlands nearby. We had one rainy evening and got to try it out thanks to the rain. I'm actually considering getting the extra-large dome screen available elsewhere to put on top of the large size one for double coverage and then maybe we could enjoy this pretty fire pit even now in the dryest part of the year. Not sure what CalFire would say about that. It might just fit, though, since the large screen actually measures 1.5 inches less in diameter than the 30.5" listed (that measurement includes the 1.5" handle) and so I imagine the x-lg screen, listed at 37" is probably truly 35.5" in diameter, which is exactly the actual width of the large copper pan (not 36" as listed).
