Ohio Flame

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.

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.
