Details

The Third Rock Fire Pit by Fire Pit Art turns a globe into a sculptural fire feature. Continental cutouts reveal the fire within, while the surrounding steel represents the world’s oceans. The recognizable outline gives the piece a distinct identity during the day and a different presence after dark, when the flame lights the globe from inside.

Handcrafted in the USA from 1/4-inch-thick mild carbon steel, Third Rock stands 40 inches high and measures 36 inches across. Its taller form suits an open garden, courtyard or hospitality terrace where it can be viewed from several directions. Choose it when you want a focal point within the landscape rather than a low bowl between lounge chairs.

Fuel & ignition options

Third Rock offers five fuel and ignition combinations:

Wood-burning.
Natural gas — match-lit.
Liquid propane — match-lit.
Natural gas — All Weather Electronic Ignition System (AWEIS).
Liquid propane — All Weather Electronic Ignition System (AWEIS).

Wood-burning

Choose wood when building and tending the fire are part of the experience. Plan for firewood storage, ash removal and local wood-burning restrictions. In a lodge or hospitality setting, establish who will tend the fire and manage cleanup between gatherings.

Match-lit gas

Natural gas and propane match-lit models keep lighting manual while avoiding the routine of adding logs and clearing wood ash. Follow the supplied lighting sequence and keep the gas controls accessible in the finished layout.

Electronic ignition with AWEIS

The All Weather Electronic Ignition System from Fire by Design adds electronic lighting and flame-sensing technology. It’s an option for buyers who prefer electronic operation, including properties where staff manage the fire feature. Confirm power requirements and compatible controls before installation.

Select the intended fuel and ignition system when ordering. Fire Pit Art makes configuration-specific modifications for gas operation; consumers must not modify a wood-burning piece for gas.

Gas burner & included components

Natural gas and propane configurations use a 24-inch stainless steel HPC Penta burner rated at 200,000 BTU/hr. The gas package includes a 24-inch-diameter burner pan, 45 pounds of lava rock and a flex-line kit. The manufacturer also lists a Dante valve with the package.

AWEIS configurations include a 24-volt AC transformer, fire module, heat shield and installation instructions. Confirm the complete connection and ignition package for your selected configuration before arranging installation.

The output rating applies to gas models, not the wood-burning version. Have a qualified installer verify that the planned fuel supply meets the burner’s requirements.

Choose your finish

Iron Oxide Patina

The standard finish develops a rust-toned appearance that gradually darkens with exposure and use. Its weathered surface complements stone, timber and planting. Iron Oxide Patina is available on gas models and is required for wood-burning versions, which generate too much heat for powder coating.

Powder-coated colors — gas models only

Textured Black, Bronze, Mojave, Silverado and Speckled Oak offer alternatives to the weathered patina. Choose a color to coordinate with furniture frames, railings or other exterior details. Powder-coated surfaces don’t develop the same rust-toned patina, so follow the care instructions for your selected finish.

Placement & installation

Give the globe an open sightline so its shape can be appreciated from the house or across a garden or courtyard. At 40 inches high, Third Rock is a taller focal point rather than a low fire bowl. Consider how its form will affect views between people seated on opposite sides.

Plan around the full 36-inch overall width, not just the smaller base beneath it. Leave room for circulation and fire tending while meeting the manufacturer’s required clearances. In hospitality spaces, keep the feature out of primary pedestrian routes and provide access for the person operating it.

Confirm delivery access and arrange suitable help or equipment to move the 250-pound piece into position. Have a qualified installer verify the supporting surface, clearances and local requirements. Any raised platform or pedestal installation should be reviewed with the manufacturer rather than assumed suitable.

Natural gas requires a suitable permanent supply. Propane needs a planned tank location and connection arrangement, while AWEIS also requires an appropriate electrical supply. For shared spaces, establish who will light, supervise and shut down the feature.

Care & optional accessories

The Iron Oxide Patina finish may arrive with a dusty, rust-colored surface and will deepen in color as the steel matures. Keep wet leaves and debris off the piece while the patina develops. Fire Pit Art advises against placing a tarp against the surface because it can interfere with oxidation, blacken the patina or transfer color to the metal.

For a powder-coated gas model, follow the care instructions supplied for that finish. Let the fire pit cool fully before cleaning or fitting a compatible cover.

Fire Pit Art lists its wood-burning fire pit grate as compatible with Third Rock. This optional accessory is for supporting firewood, not cooking. Fire-tending tools and a nearby log rack can also help organize a wood-burning gathering area.

Confirm the listed fit before ordering any cover or other fitted accessory. Third Rock’s globe-shaped enclosure should not be treated as interchangeable with an open bowl of the same width.

Warranty

Fire Pit Art provides a 10-year structural-integrity warranty for carbon steel fire pits for the original purchaser. The iron-oxide finish and saltwater environments are excluded, as are shipping and handling charges associated with warranty service. Confirm finish coverage separately if you select a powder-coated gas model.

Burners, gas components and electronic ignition systems have separate terms, with some coverage differing between residential and commercial use. Review Fire Pit Art’s warranty information for complete coverage and exclusions, and confirm the terms applicable to your selected configuration.
