What is a fire pit?

A fire pit is an outdoor hearth, consisting of a metal bowl designed to hold wood, coal or burning embers. Historically used as an outdoor heating appliance, it serves to produce heat, create a, il sert à produire de la chaleur, créer une atmospherefriendly and bring people together around thefire. Its origins date back to antiquity, before becoming firmly rooted in Mediterranean and Latin American cultures, where it was used both for warmth and for thecookingof food.

Theterracotta brazier, typical of Mexico, concentrates heat and protects the flames from the wind thanks to its closed shape. Today, the brazier has evolved and serves two essential functions: to provide a pleasant ambient heat and to allow for a simple, authentic wood-fired cookingrich inflavours.

Depending on themodels, a brazier can operate on wood, charcoal or, less commonly, ongasor bioethanol, producing real flames but with more limited heat.

Permanently installed in agardenor placed on aterrace, the brazier becomes a true element ofoutdoor decoration, designed to extend theeveningsoutdoors, in any season. It is important to choose a model suitable for thesizeof your space, for youruse, and to adhere to local safety regulations to avoid anyfire-related risks. lié au feu.

How to choose your plancha fire pit?

Choosing a fire pit is not just a matter of design. It is important to consider features such as size, weight, durability and rust resistance when purchasing a fire pit. Above all, it is awood-fired cooking toolthat must be efficient, safe and durable. Here are theessential technical criteriato master before making your choice. The best fire pit will always depend on your needs and personal preferences.

The thickness of the plancha: a determining criterion

The plancha is the centrepiece of the fire pit. At COEO, the choice of a thickness of 10 mm is established as the best balance between performance and durability. Below 10 mm, the plate risks becoming deformed due to high temperatures. Above 10 mm, the inertia becomes too significant: the plancha is slower to heat upand requires more fuel. Many event professionals confirm that 12 mm plates are often too energy-consuming and not very responsive to ignition. 

Peripheral edge: a false good detail

Beware of fire pits with an outer edge welded onto the plancha. This type of design has several disadvantages:

• Safety: no more risk of cuts during handling.

• Hygiene: accumulation of food residues that are difficult to clean.

• Design: the materials and welds used are not recommended for food contact.

At COEO, the plancha is edgeless and designed for safe, clean, and sustainable use.

A plancha inclined from the manufacturing stage

A high-performing plancha must be cold-angled, from its manufacturing, and not only under the effect of heat. This inclination allows for a natural and constant flow of fats towards the hearth, improving safety, cooking quality, and ease of cleaning. To check this, simply position a level: the slope should be visible between the outside of the plate and the centre of the fire pit.

Airflow: the key to controlled combustion

A fire pit works like a chimney: the fire needs anupward air supply, coming from below. A poorly oxygenated hearth leads tolighting difficulties, temperature lossandexcessive smoke.

At COEO, the airflow is optimised by a double wall, which allows oxygen to circulate and fuel the fire from bottom to top, ensuring stable, efficient, and comfortable combustion.

Standards, safety, and laboratory testing

Not all fire pits are created equal. Some products are marketed without testing or certifications, without a guarantee of safe use for cooking. COEO conducts laboratory testson all the materials used to ensure their compliance with food contact, as well as strict validations regarding fire risk prevention, both in France and internationally.

Materials: corten steel, stainless steel or powder-coated steel.

• Corten steel: develops a natural protective patina (layer of rust) over time, which enhances its durability and makes it very weather-resistant, ideal for long-lasting outdoor use without aesthetic constraints.

• Stainless steel: resistant to corrosion, making it particularly suitable for coastal areas or humid environments.

• Black thermolacquered steel: a more contemporary and streamlined finish, requiring high-temperature paint and rigorous surface treatment before thermolacquering to ensure its longevity.

Dans tous les cas, les matériaux COEO respectent les technical and food safety requirementsrelated to cooking over wood fire.

Design and durability

A streamlined design is a guarantee of longevity. COEO has deliberately excluded draft hatches and ash drawers, often subject to deformation due to heat and sources of long-term malfunctions. The round shape of the brazier is also preferred for a better distribution of heat and a more homogeneous combustion.

Cleaning the cooking plate: the right reflexes

After each use, it is recommended toclean the still hot cooking plateusing aspatula or scraper. This simple operation helps to remove food residues before they cool and stick to the surface.

It is important tonever use dish soapor conventional degreasers: these destroy thenatural patinaof the plate, which is essential for cooking quality. Once the plate is cleaned, applying athin layer of oileffectively protects it against oxidation.

Seasoning: an essential step

Theseasoning of the plateis highly recommended. It involves heating the plate and applying oil to create a protective patina. This natural layer prevents food from sticking, facilitates future cooking, and provides long-lasting protection against rust.

On aa steel plate, the appearance of aslight surface rustcan be normal, especially during the first uses or in case of humidity. It can be easily removed during cleaning and seasoning, without affecting performance.

Preventing rust and protecting the fire pit

For fire pits made ofironor standardsteel, it is advisable toregularly apply oilto exposed surfaces. It is also recommended tostore the fire pit in a dry placewhen not in use, and to use asteel coverto protect the bowl and the plate between uses. To avoid rust on iron or standard steel models, it is advisable to apply oil regularly.

These simple precautions significantly extend the lifespan of the fire pit and maintain its aesthetic appearance over time.

Wood or charcoal: which fuel to choose?

Plancha fire pits primarily operate onwoodorcharcoal. Charcoalburns more slowly and allows for aeven cooking, ideal when looking for a stable temperature on the plate. Hardwoods, such asoakorbeechhêtre, burns longer than softwoods and adds a distinct aromatic signature to food.

In any case, it is recommended to usewell-dried firewoodto ensure a clean and efficient burn.
