Anna Bishop Design Kadai Fire Bowl (80cm, Stand & Grill Included)

What fuel can I use in this fire bowl?

You can burn wood, charcoal or BBQ briquettes in this fire bowl. Wood gives a traditional campfire feel and works well for evening gatherings. Charcoal or briquettes give more consistent heat if you're using the grill to cook food. Don't use accelerants like petrol or lighter fluid as the steel isn't designed for that kind of rapid heat.

How many people can sit around this firepit?

The 80cm size comfortably fits 10 or more guests sitting around it. This makes it a good choice for bigger family gatherings, parties or if you regularly entertain groups in the garden. If you only need space for 4-6 people, a smaller 32-inch model might suit you better and cost less to run.

Does it come with a stand?

Yes. The stand is included in this set and lifts the bowl to approximately 35cm above the ground. This height keeps the fire at a safer distance from the grass or patio beneath it and makes it easier to tend the fire without bending down too far.

Can I cook on this firepit?

Yes, a grill is included with this set so you can use it as a barbecue as well as a firepit. Simply place the grill rack over the bowl once your charcoal or briquettes are lit and glowing. Many buyers use it for both purposes - warming guests in the evening and cooking food earlier on.

Will the fire bowl get hot on the outside?

Yes, the steel gets very hot during use, as you'd expect from any metal firepit. One reviewer noted it was hot enough to crack a paving slab underneath the stand after use. We recommend placing a heatproof mat, gravel patch or similar protective layer beneath the stand if you're setting it up on a patio or decking.

How do I clean and maintain the bowl?

Let the bowl cool completely before cleaning. Empty out any ash and wipe down the steel with a dry cloth. Because it has an oil rubbed finish, avoid harsh detergents that could strip this coating. Store it covered when not in use to help prevent rust, especially over winter months.

Is this a genuine Indian handmade product?

Yes. This fire bowl is handmade by artisan craftsmen in Rajasthan, India, using traditional riveting techniques rather than machine welding. This is different from many mass-produced firepits which use thinner tin and factory welding. The handmade construction is part of why the bowl has such a rustic, authentic appearance.

How is it delivered and how long does dispatch take?

The item is dispatched quickly from a UK warehouse, so you're not waiting on a long international shipping process despite the product being made in India. One reviewer noted their order arrived earlier than expected. Check the specific delivery estimate at checkout for your postcode.
