The Story
Ohio Flame builds fire pits the way a small American foundry has built things for a century — by hand, in Ohio, with steel thick enough that it'll outlast the patio it sits on. Every Patriot and Liberty piece is plasma-cut, rolled, and welded by a single craftsman who signs off on the seam before it ships.
Their material of choice is Cor-Ten — a weathering steel originally engineered for railway carriages and architectural facades. Left outside, Cor-Ten oxidizes into a stable rust layer that protects the metal underneath instead of corroding it. The first season is a quick brown blush; by year two it's a rich patina you couldn't paint on if you tried.
Ohio Flame's lineup is restrained on purpose. A handful of round, classic profiles — 30-inch, 36-inch, 48-inch — in either the original Patriot or the more architectural Liberty silhouette. The catalog stays small so the craft stays consistent. You're not buying from a category, you're buying a piece that came out of one shop.

Design Principles
01
Each fire pit is plasma-cut, rolled, and welded by one fabricator from start to finish — not assembled from outsourced parts.
02
Weathering steel develops a self-protecting rust layer outdoors. The piece looks better at year three than the day it arrived.
03
Two silhouettes, three sizes. A small catalog is a sign the maker still cares about every weld.
04
Steel is sourced and finished in Ohio. No global supply chain, no surprise substitutions on a re-order.
Questions
Cor-Ten is a weathering steel originally engineered for railway carriages and architectural facades. Left outdoors, it forms a stable rust layer that protects the steel underneath instead of corroding it. Ohio Flame fire pits develop a brown blush in the first season and deepen to a rich, self-protecting patina by year two — there's no sealing or maintenance required.
Yes. Every Patriot and Liberty piece is plasma-cut, rolled, and welded in a single fabrication shop in Ohio. The steel is sourced and finished domestically — no global supply chain, no outsourced components.
The lineup is intentionally restrained: round Patriot and Liberty silhouettes in 30-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch diameters. The smaller catalog is part of the craft — every weld is signed off by the same fabricator who cut the piece.
No. The Cor-Ten patina is designed to weather, including through rain and snow. Water actually accelerates the protective oxidation. A cover is fine if you prefer keeping debris out, but it's not required for material longevity.

We carry 13 brands — not 50. Here's why each one made the cut, what they're best at, and which one is right for your project.

Ohio Flame's Liberty, Patriot, and Fire Chalice lines are hand-fabricated in Ohio from American Corten (weathering steel) that develops a permanent rust patina. $845-$1,800 range for pits that outlast anything imported at 3x the price. Here's which Ohio Flame fits your patio.

Wood-burning. Every Patriot and Liberty piece is built as a wood pit — no gas conversion kit and no propane variant. The thick steel construction is matched to the heat profile of a real wood fire.
Indefinitely with normal outdoor use. The Cor-Ten weathering steel is rated for decades of exposure; the structural welds are hand-finished and not the failure point. Owners commonly report 10+ year service with no maintenance beyond ash removal.

Ohio Flame builds just two silhouettes — the classic Patriot bowl and the architectural Liberty. Both are hand-welded Cor-Ten steel from a single Ohio shop. This is the head-to-head that decides which one fits your outdoor room.
