We believe in value for money.
When you buy a fire pit, you expect it to last. Sadly most fire pits (like many products these days) are built to a price.
Thin steel is often used which will rust through very quickly when heated and exposed to weather and ash residue.
You'll be replacing your cheap fire pit pretty soon and that's detrimental to your pocket.
Seriously consider spending a little more for a thicker steel fire pit which can last a lifetime.

We believe that great design changes lives.
Great design leads to products that work well which improves our overall well being.
Our fire pits are designed in CAD software and tested in the field. We believe in KISS ("Keep It Simple Stupid") design philosophy.
Using state of the art software and production methods we can take a design to a finished product in just a few weeks.

We believe in British manufacturing.
Many fire pits for sale in the UK are made abroad, usually China, India or Turkey - especially those you find in major stores.
They are often designed by US companies and not designed for the UK's wetter damper climate.
Overseas companies are very unlikely to contribute to the UK economy or tax take in any meaningful way.
We wanted our fire pits to be UK (wet!) weather tolerant and ethical in their manufacture.
All our fire pits are designed and manufactured in the UK by companies paying UK tax.

We always strive to reduce our impact on the environment.
We use recycled packaging materials and are continuously working on reducing waste in our manufacturing processes and packaging.
Our modular design means our fire pit constituent parts can be easily replaced if damaged. They are steel and fully recyclable.

We believe in acting local.
Where possible we work with local suppliers but we'll go further to find suppliers with an environmental pedigree.
We don't ship our products internationally. Our fire pits are built in the UK for a UK audience. This eliminates their air miles and their sea miles.
(We do ship to Northern Ireland). If we ever do sell our fire pits abroad we will have them manufactured in the local country.

We believe in climate change.
Climate change is real and the evidence is all around us with globally changing weather patterns.
Reducing our fossil fuel usage and our carbon emissions is at the heart of what we do.
Not only does it help the environment but it also makes commercial sense.
Most of our fire pits are not welded which massively reduces the amount of energy and time needed to make them.
Our fire pits last and can be easily recycled when they eventually reach the end of their life reducing their carbon footprint.

We believe burning wood fuel is carbon neutral.
Burning wood being carbon neutral is a somewhat controversial and ongoing argument. (We'll come to that in a moment.)
But it's certainly true that burning wood is better for the environment than burning gas (a fossil fuel) for outdoor heating. If you are burning gas for outdoor heating you are releasing locked up CO2 taken from the gas fields. If you are heating with electical heaters that also adds to demand on the network which is often fuelled by natural gas and 20% of the engery generated is lost in transmission. The other problem with gas and electric outdoor heaters is that they are very expensive to run and actually don't kick out much heat compared to a real fire.
Of course burning nothing is best for the environment but that may mean you come indoors sooner and put on your Gas or Electric central heating.
So what happens to wood if it's not burnt? It simply rots away, releasing the CO2 into the atmosphere anyway!
So there is a very strong argument that burning wood is at the very least carbon neutral and quite likely to be carbon NEGATIVE as it stops you from using other fossil fuel based energies to heat the air to keep warm outside.
The logic for wood burning being carbon neutral is also supported by the following argument: As a tree grows it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When it is burned that absorbed CO2 is released back into the atmosphere again. Other trees absorb that CO2 and the cycle continues. The key to carbon neutrality is making sure that enough trees are being planted to replace the ones that are being cut down for burning. Of course if you plant more trees than you consume you can actually help reduce CO2 in the atmosphere and go carbon negative.
The controversy started recently as there is new evidence to suggest that in some countries trees are being cut down for wood fuel pellets at a rate faster than new ones being planted. This results in a net positive contribution to CO2 levels. The main driver for this deforestation is EU and US policy and their drive to become carbon neutral by reducing fossil fuel consumption in favour of alternative wood based fuels such as wood pellets.
For domestic outdoor heating use, burning wood to keep warm is likely to be the best for the environment, your pocket and for keeping warm.
