Pros
- A real bowl shape with handles, and no assembly beyond four legs
- Sold by Sunnydaze itself, with the no-registration written warranty
Cons
- Nine percent of its ratings are one star, the worst share we read in this class
- Owners report the basin cracking where a leg attaches, inside a year
- Owners report legs rusting and snapping off; one notes the legs are not cast iron
- Several buyers dispute that it is cast iron at all, and returned it
- The highest price here, with no spark screen, grate or cover in the box
- A drain hole that owners say blocks, so rain sits in the bowl
The cast iron is thinner than buyers expected and it fails at the legs — a basin cracked where a leg attaches inside a year, a bowl that cracked while dumping ash at two years, legs that snapped off or arrived half-welded. Several owners say it is not cast iron.

Burn on a level, non-combustible surface, never under an overhead structure, and never leave a fire unattended. Owners report legs snapping off and bowls cracking — owner reports, not a CPSC finding; a bowl that drops with a fire in it is a burn and fire hazard.
