Amagabeli Fire Pits for Garden 56.8cm Premium Steel Fire

This firepit was very easy to put together and performed well during a 5 hour stint. Can get sudden gusts of wind here but it didn’t so much as wobble. Very happy for the money spent (76 at the time with an Amazon deal). The painted finish didn’t hold up so well. Only used it this once. But I’m not too concerned with that as it’s structurally sound. Thinking I might sand it down and put a more robust finish on it. I’m not leaving it outside to the elements so shouldn’t be affected too badly. But some people might, and want to know this detail.

Bought this as doing a new fire pit area in the garden. Good gauge metal used for this product, quite heavy and therefore satble at an excellent price for this size of fire pit.

Tried it out this weekend just with sticks .. great heat not too smoky when first starting fire up

Terrific fire pit has everything: elegant shape, large without being over-sized, sturdy build and dead simple to set up. Seriously, all you have to do is place the bowl on top of the triangular stand and that’s it. Extremely good value for money and guaranteed you won’t lose your temper setting it up.

Firepit is ideal for our needs and seems a good quality item for the money. Used it a few times now and are pleased with the purchase.

Was expecting this to be a bit rubbish due to the price, but it is solid, well made and works brilliantly. Really pleased with it. Not sure how it will hold up over the years but for the price we paid it is super.

No doubts about recommending this to anyone.

Excellent and light weight. However it will catch water in it because there is no cover. Hence if you leave it outside in rain water will gather is base and obviously over time that will lead to rust and decay. I’ve drained mine of water and bung in an out building. Otherwise excellent as an OAP its weight being light is an added benefit to me.

Goes together easy enough. Dropped a star as two of the threaded holes were misaligned and very tight to screw into. Apart from that had a good burn three times and it works as it should. Remember, it’s a big old basket so goes through a lot of wood.

We bought the biggest size and my god it works well! Huge fire and kicks off a great heat. Definitely worth the investme

Had shopped around and was reluctant to spend 150+ for similar products that I found in garden centres. When it arrived it was easy enough to assemble – no instructions but it was literally a case of screwing the legs on. Quality was better than I’d expected for the price. Looks smart and even after using it for some quite long fires it seems to be fairing well. Has a small hole drilled in the centre to allow water to escape if you leave it outside or want to dowse the fire at the end of use. This also seems to stop it filling with rain water and rusting.

This firepit is lightweight but sturdy.I put a couple of layers of tinfoil in bottom and used some logs ..Great heat and ambience on bonfire night.Next morning I simply covered whole thing with a bin bag and tipped it upside down to empty.! Wonderful.

This is a nice little fire pit. We use it just about every day that the weather permits and it hasn’t let us down. It’s more sturdy than I though it would be. I was concerned about the wire mesh failing but it’s holding up fine and I expect it will continue to do well into the autumn. It drains rainwater well so the charcoal dries out.

I wish that it came with a grate to go over the top so we’d have somewhere for a kettle. A cup of tea or coffee in front of the fire is nice. It would add almost nothing to the cost of manufacture and would add significant value in use.

The bowl is good but is easily damaged if dropped the legs are thin tube and could be better if all metal. Be aware that on first use the paint finish burns off.

We didn’t want to splash out on a fire pit and most products were out of our price range. This one ticked all the boxes for us – relatively cheap and simple in design. We have used it quite a few times and it provides a good source of heat on a chilly summer’s night.

Very easy to assemble and all round good firepit but poker was missing and I’m still waiting on it being sent out. So a bit disappointed with the customer service.

I’m really chuffed with this fire pit. We’ve used it several times and it performs so well. I’ve had dish fire pits in the past so was interested to see what the bucket design was like. For me it projects more heat because when you are sat around it it’s more at chest level. We used kiln dried logs and we’ve also used those pre formed tube logs and both have been great. We didn’t get too much smoke or falling ashes but I do have it on a protective mat. It was very easy to put together and feels great quality. The dimensions are accurate to those listed on Amazon so this is a decent sized bucket. It is a bit fiddly to clean out after but most are. It has a sort of grid at the bottom to give it more strength and the ashes do get a bit wedged around it. In fairness I just wait until it’s completely cold ( next day after use) and tip the whole thing into my compost bin. I then use a garden cane to loosen any bits that are stuck and job done. It’s a sort of dark copper colour when it’s new. It has rusted a little bit inside but that doesn’t detract from the look of it especially when it’s lit. It’s also a perfect size and shape for toasting marshmallows although I would recommend toasting forks as it’s very hot when you get near. Certainly you would want to keep kids at a safe distance . I didn’t have any problems lighting it. I set up some kindle and newspaper at the bottom and light that with a butane gun ( like you use to melt the sugar on creme brle). Once it’s going I add one log and when that’s going I add a few more. Within fifteen minutes you have a perfect fire that lasts an hour or so depending on the number of logs you have added. You do also get a raking fork to help you move things around once it’s lit. This isn’t the cheapest fire pit however nor is it the most expensive. I think when it’s lit it looks more expensive than it was and I feel the price is probably about right. When it’s not being used it’s stored undercover and in the winter it will be stored inside my shed for added protection. It will be interesting to see how well it stores and I will update this review should it not store well. I’m hoping to get many years of use from this and based on my current experience I’m really pleased I bought it.

On unboxing I was disappointed and felt I had paid far too much for what looked like a lightweight oversized wok. So much so that I almost returned it. However I had been looking for a long time to replace my tiny 10 year old cast iron one and decided to keep it.
There was no assembly required and being a 3 leg stand means that it stands level on the garden. The deep bowl allows you to build a pyramid base with no slippage of wood. In the bottom of the bowl is a hole which you can insert a metal rod for extra stability if required (rod not supplied but metal shepherds crook fits well and if camping you could hang a kettle or grill from it). There is a hole on the outer edge of the rim (I presume for storage/hanging)
It lit well and burnt very well with no ash spilling or blowing out due to the deep sides. I was surprised to see that even after burning there was little discolouration to the bowl. If the price point had been 30 less I would have sung its praises over and over.
Would pack and transport easily as it fits into those heavy duty carrier bags (supplied by Swedish stores or cheap sports shops) and is lightweight for carrying.

I love this product and consider it an essential piece of kit for garden entertaining during chilly Covid days and nights 🙂

Barely any assembly required, just screw on the legs. I put three old bricks in the bottom to raise the fire bed and reduce heat to the base as a precautionary measure, which also makes it a little easier to light. As with almost any fire pit it can be a bit smoky. I found it very easy to use; 2 or 3 fire lighters with some kindling on top lit with a long lighter and it starts very quickly. It’s definitely big enough for my needs. An identical model is available with a grill rack and a different name for slightly less but the supply time was longer and I wanted mine quickly. I cooked some salmon in a wire grill on it which tasted fabulous but this isn’t really barbecue, however there’s nothing to stop you using it as one. My daughter liked toasting her marshmallows on it. I made a top for mine to enable it to be used as a drinks table when it’s not actively being used as a fire pit and it also keeps the rain off which makes it easier to light. The poker it came with isn’t up to much but I use fireplace tongs if I want to rearrange the wood when it’s burning. All over I’m very happy with it, it looks good and works well. A chimenea is less smoky but wouldn’t work for me as they’re really for corners instead of the middle of a patio. This seems to be made from painted aluminium so it won’t rust and given that it’s not a flued fire should not get hot enough to have any structural issues as a result of the heat.

Purchased for COVID winter months
When COVID transmission seems to be prevalent in indoor social situations we decided to go outdoors! A socially distanced success.
Stylish and easy to move when not in use ( not like the cast iron heavy weights!) . Gives off a lovely heat and very atmospheric.
Absolutely no regrets in purchasing.

We saw this on This Morning and it saved the day as we had a very small kids party planned which we had to do in the garden after going into Tier. Kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows and sitting round the fire. Worked very well. Not too heavy – so easy to move around garden.
