Landmann USA 28925 Ball of Fire Outdoor Fireplace, Black

I will be burning in style with this fire ball. I have wanted a fire pit for my patio, but was not too fond of what I saw at most stores. So this was a refreshing change in shape and function! I watched it on Amazon for 4 or 5 months and finally caved when it went on sale. I am very pleased with this purchase. I had it assembled and working by the end of the day. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for a new fire pit.Pro:- Great size. I live in the city and cant have anything over 3 ft wide anyways. This is the perfect size for a patio!- Comes with a decent cover - not super thick, but works just fine.- Top glides open with ease. Does not get snagged or make a metal rubbing noise.- Neighbors are jealous :)- Had ALL the bolts and nuts. No missing pieces.- When the wood pops while burning - no embers come flying out. This is great is you have kids or dogs!- Inside pan is easy to remove and has very sturdy handles.- Aside from taking forever to assembly, the directions were clear and the parts were labeled well. So that is a plus in my book.Con:- Took me a lot longer than 45 min to assemble. Because of the round shape, assembly was not easy for one person. I would suggest having help. Also - make sure all the holes are aligned properly or it wont fit together. This thing is a jig-saw puzzle!- Some of the metal coating came off during assembly. I should have had some thicker cardboard under it. But it also shouldn't come off that easy...- If you forget the cover, the wood pan will collect water. so remove it, or remember to cover it.- I tried to think of other cons.. but seriously, cant come up with anymore. It was annoying to put together. But that aside, no complaints.

Enjoying campfires has been something that my wife and I have done for many years. About 6-7 years ago we were living 'in town' and wanted to have a firepit that would allow us to enjoy a campfire in our backyard. I decided on purchasing this one for a variety of reasons including its overall appearance which we loved, its portability to an extent, and we loved the 'up and down' pivot screen that makes the firepit a little safer to use. I see from some reviewer comments that it is a beast to put together....at that time I didn't have to because I was experiencing a bad back episode and was laid up so my youngest son did it and I recall him saying it was not an easy assembly. Other reviewers site how it is prone to rust and doesn't last.We have moved a couple of times and that firepit has come with us. It comes with a cover and I have consistently covered it the next day after it cools to protect it from the elements. Here it is, 6-7 years later and it is finally now showing signs of wear with the screen developing some breaks and openings. I'd say we got our money's worth with this gem. So...we purchased another one and it's awaiting its time to replace the original which we'll continue to use until it is really time to retire it.If you're thinking about a firepit....think no further. This one is awesome! BTW...these rating features are quite 'inappropriate' for the most part and don't fully reflect characteristics that should highlight this product, perhaps the first two should be there, but there should also be other characteristics highlighted.

I must say I do not review products often. But I would like to throw this one out. Ordered this a few days ago, assembled it, let it burn.Assembly: Not hard, just time consuming and if you do it alone, hope you got long arms. :) I was short a couple 20mm bolts, no fault to the manufacturer, the box was smashed up pretty good, with holes in it, hardware obviously dropped out in transit. No biggie, went to hardware store got some stainless 20mm bolts. Problem solved, of course I could have called the mfg, and ordered them but hey it was time to light this fireball, so I didn't wait.The bottom line: This fireball is awesome. Looks cool, puts off alot of warmth, and you can dump in a lot of wood in it. I put about 6 logs in it at once, placed properly. I didn't worry about anything, just made sure the wood was over and in the pan and not resting on the wire mesh. I pumped it pretty hard with 6 logs, then continued to feed what it likes to eat, wood for a few hours. Functional, aesthetically pleasing, and works as advertised. Even with the massive fire rolling, I was able to open it bare handed and feed the fire. Doesn't get any better than that. Perfect.In fact I will say straight up I love it. Happy party boys!

This is our second one, the other burnt out after 5 well used years.

It came without the huge landman logo on it which was much better. Looks great - exactly like a 'ball of fire' when lit. Was easy to put together. Appreciated the cover.

tout est parfait

Said it all above. Needs to be covered when not in use to prevent rust. Of the many designs available, this is the best!
