Pros
- The deepest owner base here, and the lowest critical share of any pit we read
- Sold by Bali Outdoors' own store, not a marketplace reseller
- A 40 in ring with a mesh shelf that works as a foot rail
- The cooking grate swivels off the fire and adjusts in height
- Zero Vine reviews in the cards we read; every one a verified purchase
Cons
- No steel thickness published anywhere — and "thin metal" is the top complaint
- Serious Eats tested a Bali pit and found it slow to light, and unlightable in wind
- The rating pools three sizes, so it is not a clean read of the 40 in
- The warranty is a 12-month badge on the maker's site with no document behind it
- One owner measured the bowl shallower than the listing states
Thin steel and a short life — six of ten recent critical cards, including rust inside a month and a bottom rusted out at two years. The 47 in size has an owner reporting a full rust-through in eleven months, covered all winter.

Pro review “Like the other bowl-style fire pits, this was one slow to ignite and burn. It took 45 minutes to assemble, only to give middling results.”— Grace Kelly, Serious Eats
