The Fire Pit Company Cube
There’s something comforting about sitting in front of an open fire, it offers a rich and immersive outdoor experience that comes with a myriad of benefits, like warmth, comfort and security. The mesmerising dance of flames is also a source of relaxation and stress relief, allowing you to unwind and connect with the natural world or..... you just want to get drunk with your mates and enjoy the banter.
When The Fire Pit Company offered to send me their Cube I jumped at the chance, because of all the benefits that I mentioned above,and also because it’s a piece of art.
What makes the Cube stand out from other fire pits is that each panel can be chosen from several designs or you can have bespoke panels created with your vehicle (at extra cost, of course).
Like all designs at The Fire Pit Company, each one has been carefully hand drawn before being digitised and machine cut to preserve all of the details in the drawing.
Weighing in at 20kg it’s not lightweight, but it is collapsible. Each panel measures 44 x 44cm, and is made from 4mm steel, so it is definitely built to last.
The Cube is supplied with a base that does sit quite close to the ground, so you will need to be aware of scorching the ground beneath. It is also supplied with a heavy duty grill that, depending on the heat, can be placed at two heights and provides a stable cooking platform.
Assembly can be a little tricky at first, but once you’ve got the hang of it the Cube can be put together within a minute as each panel slots into the other.
The Cube is sent out in a natural finish, so in time the metal will age with a nice natural patina, but once cooled, and before it’s put away, it is worth giving it a once over with warm soapy water and then dry. I’d also be tempted to oil the grill, too.
The more I look at it, the more I appreciate the work that’s gone into creating the Cube. It might be weighty, but it’s also incredibly well designed and finished.
