Pros
- OutdoorGearLab tested this exact pit hands-on and named it its best value with grills
- The most complete box here: two grills, lid, poker and cover
- The lid turns it into a 36 in table when the fire is out
- Sold by OutVue's own store; zero Vine reviews in the cards we read
Cons
- About one review in ten is critical, more than triple the best pits here
- Owners report rust in weeks, and one a pit "rusted to pieces" in five months
- The star rating mixes this open bowl with two smokeless models on the same listing
- No warranty document exists, and one owner reports being offered a partial refund instead
- The tester's own advice is to cook on foil, not on the grill itself
Thin metal and fast rust — rust spots inside two months, a bottom that detached after one fire, a pit thrown away at five months. Assembly is the second theme: many bolts, and holes that do not line up.

“The deep bottom is great! I was skeptical because of the other reviews, but as long as you follow the instructions to assemble there’s no problem. It’s only wobbly if the screws aren’t tight. The fact that it doubles as a table is amazing! Perfect for the backyard!”— Verified Purchase owner, Amazon · Verified owner
Pro review “it's made of thin metal, and many people will run into rust and longevity issues.”— Chris McNamara, OutdoorGearLab

✓ Safety: no active recall — No CPSC recall for OutVue (CPSC recalls API checked 2026-09-19, positive-controlled the same sitting). The listing's Manufacturer field reads "yayi", which connects the storefront to Zhejiang Yayi Metal Technology — a company holding a 2018 CPSC recall (#18104) of a Hampton Bay GAS fire pit for a burn hazard. That is a different product, a different fuel and a different retailer: manufacturer history, not a recall on this pit. Burn on a non-combustible surface and never leave a fire unattended.
