Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We've owned our Sojoe firepit for several years now, and it was an excellent purchase. I strongly recommend this firepit.
The firepit has held up very well over the years. The grill is well made, non-warping, and well-fitted to the fire pit. We have a nice BBQ, so we thought we wouldn't use the grill for the firepit. But we use it all the time, and it's really great for large gatherings when we get both BBQs going. We also love the screen. We live in a wooded area, and it makes us feel better that large embers can't float out of the fire. The best part is the waterproof cover, though. You have to have one, or the firepit will be a nightmare. It is a major pain to be scooping water and wet ash out of the bottom of a firepit. Plus, wet ash can corrode the bottom of the pit, so you want to be able to keep some dry sand on the bottom. Our cover has faded over the years, but it's just as pliable and waterproof as it was when we bought it. It's also nice because we can store some wood in the firepit itself, and we always have a couple of very dry logs to start a fire with.
The firepit is a perfect depth, and I certainly wouldn't buy a shallow one. This one is deep enough to contain the fire and let you keep adding logs without having anything roll off onto your feet. The cutouts provide good airflow, and there is a screen behind the cutouts to keep large embers in the pit. Excellent design. I can't praise it enough.
The ring around the outside works very well as a handle, which I use more often than I would have thought. It is also far enough away from the fire that you can rest your feet on it without melting your toes. And it's very handy for proping up marshmallow sticks and the fire poker.
The fire poker is absoloutely necessary and well done. The crook at the end will allow you to remove a hot grill or screen from the fire, as well as serving as a regular log poker.
After having owned this one, I wouldn't buy anything else. This fire pit has performed exceptionally well for us, and I'll buy another Sojoe when the time comes.
As fair warning, though, the fire pit is heavy, especially when you put a couple inches of sand in the bottom. I "spin" it on one leg at a time when I have to move it. Whenever we actually pick it up, my husband and I usually do it together. It's possible to pick it up with just one person, but it will be very heavy and cumbersome even for someone quite fit.
Also as fair warning, the fire-pit comes pre-weathered, and it is covered with an incredible amount of orange rust powder that will get all over you as you put it together (at least ours did). Pay attention to where you decide to put it together (not on the heirloom white rug) and to what you're wearing as you assemble it. Eventually all that rusty powder goes away and the firepit is just a nice rustic brown, but be prepared for a lot of orange rust powder when you first get it. A good wipe down will make it much more manageable.
