Gilbert & Bennett FBCIWOVEN-BZ is a Woven Base Cast Iron Fire Bowl designed for safe and enjoyable outdoor fires. Its durable cast metal construction enhances its beauty and ensures longevity. The fire bowl requires at least 1 inch of sand at the bottom for even heat distribution and comes with a mesh spark guard for added safety. It is essential to use a heat-proof mitt or poker tool to remove the spark guard when hot. Approved burning materials include wood, self-starting fire logs, and charcoal. For optimal safety, keep a fire extinguisher, garden hose, or bucket of sand nearby.
