Verlo FIRE Bowl ø30.5 cm — metal fire pit bowl, model V-83001-1

The Verlo FIRE Bowl ø30.5 cm (metal fire pit bowl, model V-83001-1) is a compact outdoor fire bowl designed to contain wood or charcoal in a stable, round metal basin. Its 30.5 cm diameter provides a portable solution for garden and patio use, creating a controlled open flame for heat, light and simple campfire-style cooking. The construction focuses on a straightforward, utilitarian design that fits small gatherings and temporary installations.

Advantages

The metal fire pit bowl offers a durable container for burning solid fuel with relatively simple maintenance and easy setup. Its round shape promotes even combustion and the open design allows good airflow for sustained burning. Because it is compact and relatively lightweight, it is suitable for moving between storage and use locations and fits on small patios or gravel areas where a larger fire pit would be impractical.

Suitable for

• Small garden and patio heating
• Informal outdoor gatherings and social evenings
• Campfire-style cooking such as grilling skewers or roasting marshmallows
• Temporary installation for events and backyard parties

When it may not be suitable

The Verlo FIRE Bowl is not designed as a permanent built-in fireplace or for use with heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment. Its compact diameter limits the amount of fuel that can be burned at once, so it may not provide prolonged high heat for large groups or extended events without frequent refuelling. It also lacks integrated spark screens or covers, so additional accessories or supervision are required in windy conditions or where embers are a concern.

Key specifications

• Material: metal (steel)
• Shape: round bowl
• Diameter: 30.5 cm
• Intended fuel: wood or charcoal
• Intended use: outdoor

How to use

Place the fire bowl on a stable, non-combustible surface clear of overhanging branches and structures. Assemble any legs or stand if supplied, then add a base layer of small kindling and progressively larger pieces of wood or lump charcoal. Light the fuel following local safety guidelines, maintain a safe distance from the bowl while igniting, and never leave the fire unattended. Extinguish embers completely with water or sand and allow the metal to cool before moving or storing the bowl.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify available outdoor space and local regulations for open fires.
• Consider whether you need additional accessories such as a spark screen, grill grate, or protective cover.
• Assess surface protection needs (heat-resistant mat or pads) to prevent damage to decking or paving.

Usage recommendations

Use seasoned dry wood or quality lump charcoal for cleaner burn and reduced smoke. Keep a fire extinguisher or water source nearby and check local fire safety rules before each use. For cooking, use an appropriate grill grate placed securely over the bowl and allow the metal to cool fully before cleaning or storing.
