    Awesome Firepit
    My daughter got me this to replace my old one and I simply love it. It allows me to have a nice bonfire in my small yard.

      Ease of assembley
      Received this as a gift . Put it together in no time, the instructions were easy to understand and all parts were present . Have used it and it holds fire as expected, and looks good doing it.

        Not quality materials
        Put together easily, decent instructions but very poor quality materials. First use, wheels melted and grass burned from heat because it's too low to the ground.

        Hi Firestarter - this sounds like a situation where the firebowl may have been overloaded with fuel. The Bessemer Pit sits higher off the ground than many other wood-burning fire pits that don't typically have issues with scorched grass. You can also add a layer of sand to the bottom of the bowl to help dissipate heat to protect the wheels and ground. Please contact cservice@welltraveled.net to request replacement wheels. FireSense
          We Love It!
          We used the our new fire pit last night for the first time and it was great! My husband had an easy time putting it together. It is large and made a cozy fire. The vent on the bottom does not need to be open to create a great fire. The door on the grate is also kind of flimsy so we added the wood through the top.

            hollow plastic wheels & flimsy parts
            I just picked this up and assembled it. It's extremely light weight in it's pieces. I through out my previous one that was 2-3 times heavier. The hollow plastic wheels are a joke and the screen section needs to be bent around, quite a bit, to make the attachment holes line up. I'm almost afraid to host a fire in it! I'd gladly pay double for a good unit!

              Cover
              The only reason I didn’t give it a four star is that the top cover and door feel very flimsy and doesn’t feel like it will hold up. I have had a pit before and it was much more sturdy and heftier then this and lasted 17 years this doesn’t feel like it will last but maybe 2 years at the most. I will get back at a later time to give a update since I have only started using this about a month ago.

                versatile
                I have used my patio fireplace twice and it worked well. My grandkids roasted marshmallows the first time I used it. I like that I can move it around.

                  Hi Red2001 - sorry you're having trouble finding replacement parts. Some are listed on our website www.balkenehome.com, but if there's something you need that isn't listed, you'll just need to contact us (FireSense/Balkene Home) directly for those at cservice@welltraveled.net.
                    Easy to assemble
                    Wife went to the store, I had it assembled as she got back. One person job. If I had designed it there is one change I would make. Would have had 4 bolt & nuts to attache the screens to the base rather than just 2.

                      large wood capacity
                      We have not used this as of now but my relative had the same one for years and that is why we bought this model.

                        Great way to enjoy a fire
                        It's easy to move around. The best past is the ability to "snuff" out a fire and conserve your wood for another night. I love this fireplace!

                          Just we wanted
                          Just got a place with a backyard. Bought this 2 weeks ago and couldn’t wait to use it. Assembly was fairly easy, 2 women had no problem assembling it. Had our first fire last night. It worked great especially the door for roasting marshmallows. Can’t wait for our next fire

                            got it, put it together. Used is for 2 months, went to move it and the legs collapsed !! Spend more and get a good, strong one...

                            Hi Ed! Sorry to hear about this failure. If you purchased this item within the past year, it will be covered under our warranty and we will be happy to send you replacement parts or a new item as appropriate. Please contact cservice@welltraveled.net to get started.
                              Not Too Bad.
                              It was easy to install. Larger than I expected. Reason for the 3 stars, with my first use of the fireplace, the wheels started melting. The reason for my purchase of this type of fireplace is its portability (the wheels).

                                  Disappointed, missing several nuts and bolts, the handle is not centered. If the lid is on you cannot open the door, it has to sit cockeyed.

                                  Awesome features!
                                  I love that it has the wheels to travel all over my backyard and if I want to the front yard with ease. The handle is easy to use in moving it to different locations. I love the door on the side for stoking the fire or adding more wood. The top comes off as well for ease of roasting those hot dogs or marshmallows and adding larger pieces of wood.

                                    Brought it to burn all old wood stuff around and have evening fires to sit around. Serve its purpose very nice

                                      We are very pleased with 28” Bessemer Patio Fireplace. This is our second Bessemer Patio Fireplace. Our first Bessemer Patio Fireplace lasted 20 years. It is easy to load wood and move.

                                        Extremely Difficult to Assemble
                                        -Pictures are difficult to view -Manufacturing is subpar -Fitment was very uneven -The cage did not fit correctly with the lid, even when tightness was adjusted and brackets moved -Preparation instructions partially incorrect. They stated I needed a 10mm and 8mm wrench but I also needed a 17mm socket/ratchet. We got the fire pit together and it works fine, but the assembly was a nightmare.

                                          The best mobile fire pit
                                          Arrived quickly and works excellent for backyard fires when we want to be able to put the fire pit away afterwards.
