Is the firepit subject to Rust?

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

where the flame flares up, at the top, it does.It appears to have burned off the coating and now it is rusting.It is fine for our situasion.(nothing last long in Houston heat and wet)...But it is not heavy duty. I would also pick one that has a ledge you can put your feet on....

Mine rusted on the top within a week. Still works but not greatest quality.

Ours is rust. It looks really nice. Have received many compliments on the color.

Not at all. I live on the salt marsh in Savannah. I purchased the shelving unit last fall. Assembled it in my garage where it has been since then and there is no sign of rust or any corroding. I love the portability and convenience and especially the price!!! I would recmend it to anyone!

No problems here. I used the pot for making Salsa and was very happy with it. I have seen no evidence of rust. I bought the pot summer of 2011, I believe.

We have had ours for about 2 years & no rust. We use it camping so it isn't out all the time but it has seen its fair share of wet weather & it stored in the front compartment of our camper.

I haven't had that problem. We use it in our backyard. The screen size is pretty small. It's a very very very nice firepit and we really enjoy it.

Ours is breaking down, turning white & gold rusty crusty/flaky on the edges and inside. We have had our water tested and it is potable and low in minerals so we aren't sure if we got a bad one or what. I have to fill it twice a day. Could be our fire box is too hot for it. Its awful cute I wish we were having better luck with it.

We have our glider on our screened porch and have not seen any rust as yet. We've had the glider for a year and are very happy with it.

Nope! We have had ours for nearly three years now. It sits outside year round. We live in Ohio. No rust. The only thing that is less than perfect is the fit of the inner lid. It's not quite "true". Not a big issue. Good luck!

I have had mine a little over a year, and my roommate takes boiling hot showers. I have had no rust on them at all.

I have only had the grill for three months. I also keep it covered when not in use. So, after three months, I have no signs of rust. The way it's built I don't expect rust to be an issue.

This smoker has been sitting in my backyard for one year, no rust. I live in arizona desert but we have our wet season twice a year. I did buy a cover for it when I got it and I keep it clean and covered when not in use. The outside front door is stainless steel, but like I said no rust to report anywhere on the unit.

No but I notice a few spots on the outside of the pot that are getting discolired but it's not rust. I empty my pot each time I use it, not because of rust but to keep down a hard water build up.

Hi Nancy. The grate inside the chimnea hasn't held up very well to the heat of the fires. It will eventually need to be replaced. I haven't covered up the chimnea, so I see some rust already forming after a few months of use on the exterior from the weather. I would definitely recommend getting a cover for it. It is a pretty sturdy and solid piece made of cast iron - looks great and is functional.

My in-laws have had this fire pit for a few years and we are pretty bad about taking care of it, and it has help up pretty well. After a fire it might be a couple days before we dump out the ash and lean it against the house. Sometimes it just sits out there in the florida heat and rain for weeks... and it only has a slight rust hole in the bottom. Actually, the rust hole helps with the airflow...only downside is ash on the deck a little.

No rust. Other then where the coals sit. I used it all year. In the cold and heat. The quality is ok at best. It is a 5 year grill maybe 8. The metal is thin so when it goes it will go fast.

I live in Arizona where it probably would not rust, but I'm sure it would up north. I would just buy a can of gray Rustoleum spray paint and give it a zap whenever it looks a little iffy. I personally think outdoors would be a preferable place to use it. It is a great tower at a great price.
