Deal Details
It was available at the Springdale, OH Costco for 129.99 as of 3/17/2021. YMMV.
Here is a link of discussion on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/c..._outdoors/ another link from costco au: https://www.costco.com.au/BBQs-Ou.../p/1902464
Seems like a cheap knock off of this: https://www.firepitsdirect.com/da...e-pit.html or may be that is an overpriced version of this who knows? Uncannily similar.

Its heavy, will probably only last a couple of years uncovered but taken care of should last a bit longer - but the price seems really good for what it is.

I think its the same one! However, it looks like there was too big of a fire or an uncontrolled grease fire. Examining at store, the top is thin sheet metal. The paint it came with should be high temperature. But its not cast iron or anything (there are some heavy metal parts - like the adjustable grate and parts of the frame). I did buy a cover for it and a deck protector for underneath. Time will tell.

That's not rust! That's just natural metal petina, called oxidation.

I have one, purchased it last year. I have only used it a few times. I left one of the sides off and have the used the grill once. I like it, I store it in the garage though. I don't understand how that could happen to it unless the fire is super large or its left out in the weather all year. My only issue is it doesn't come with a cover. I looked around and didn't find anything but really didn't look that hard for one.

My parents have used it for a few years in the rainy NW and it has held up well even without a cover.

Bought this last year works great! Mainly use it for bonfires and grilling little stuff like hotdogs or foil wrap cooking. I was able to find a smoker cover from Walmart that fits it perfectly. I also line the bottom with foil.

Uhh no, read the reddit thread of the first commenter. Here are some of the comments:

"Before you rake him over the coals, I've seen the exact fire pit returned because it got that rusty over 1 winter. They should last much longer than that."

"I bought two fire pits at Costco over the years and they rusted through after one season (spring, summer, and fall) of use. I kept it covered and protected from rain. They didn't even make it to winter to see what snow would have done. I never returned them because they are freaking heavy and I didn't want to put that mess in my car, but I think I would have been justified if I did."

Even if its a knockoff, I support their ad campaign that employs people with dwarfism!

Based on reviews for this and similar items and the amount of surprise expressed by everyone involved I'm going to share what I was told to do with these types of devices when I was a young man, dreaming of my own fire pit one day.

The day you open up your black metal/steel outdoor high heat fire pit/chiminea, you should clean it all off with degreaser and hit it all with at least one coat of quality high heat grill spray paint. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS UNFINISHED, or just psuedo-galvanized looking. If you don't do this, it will be gone that year, at least the screens, covers or anything that gets hot/cold. Personally, I like to lay out some newspaper and give it a few coats on all surfaces dry for a few hours or overnight...get it on there good. If the unit is like the one in the OP, which appears to possibly be painted, you can likely go right over the top, inside and out, and you will extend the life or sand it and do the same thing with paint) (I would NOT not sand this, but I'm busy, a little arthritic and am sure the paint would stick and feel it isn't worth the time it would take by hand, but that's my time, not yours). Get a cheap cover.

It'll be 6 years next week for this one [amazon.com] I bought and that method has kept it in more than usable condition and aesthetics. We had a cover but it got so ripped 2 winters ago I stopped bothering....not bad for $70 and a $5 can of spray paint.

We're looking to build a new seating area in the yard and I may go check this out if it is in store. For the money it is 1/2 the price I can get a steel ring/square and surround with stone and is 360 unlike most chimineas I've been seeing. I saw one once that had a lift off chimney and beneath it was a built in grill...it had a swing gated door and a grill on top....like a multisided fidget cube of fire when the chimney was off. Saw it once and I've been striking out local and in my image descriptions to google search if anyone has any leads, I appreciate it.
