Morsø Ignis 62981131 (Black, 45cm x 45cm)

Cast Iron Fire Pit

From: Morsø

The Morsø Ignis Fireplace is a small outdoor fire bowl cast from solid iron. It measures 45cm x 45cm and stands 32cm tall on its own legs. Danish maker Morsø has built fires like this since 1853 on the island of Mors, so the design comes from a long line of cast iron know-how.

This isn't just for warmth. The bowl shape works for wood or charcoal fires and doubles as a grill when fitted with the optional grate. Cast iron holds heat far longer than thin steel, so food keeps cooking even after flames drop.

Standing legs lift the bowl clear of grass or decking. The black painted finish resists weather. Maximum heat reaches 315°C. A 5-year manufacturer warranty covers the casting itself.

Product Features

Solid Cast Iron Body - The whole bowl is cast from one piece of iron. This makes it tough enough to handle direct flame contact and years of outdoor use without warping or cracking under heat stress. Heat-Storing Design - Cast iron soaks up heat slowly and releases it slowly too. After your fire burns down, the metal stays warm for a good while longer, so you get more heat for less wood. Dual Fuel Use - Burns either wood or charcoal depending on what you need. Wood suits a longer garden fire while charcoal gives steadier heat for cooking food on the grate.

Grill Grate Slots - Built-in slots hold the optional Morsø Ignis grill grate steady above the flames. This turns the fire pit into a barbecue for meat, fish, bread or vegetables without extra kit. Standing Legs - Fixed legs raise the bowl above ground level. This keeps the base clear of grass, decking or sand and gives the fire proper airflow from below for better burning. 5-Year Warranty - Morsø backs the cast iron construction with a 5-year guarantee. This reflects how long these fire pits are built to last with normal outdoor use and care.

FAQs

What fuel can I burn in the Morsø Ignis Fireplace?

You can burn either seasoned wood or charcoal. Wood suits longer garden fires and camping use while charcoal gives more even heat for grilling food on the optional grate. Always use dry, seasoned wood rather than green or treated timber as this burns cleaner and produces less smoke.

Can I cook food on this fire pit?

Yes. The bowl has built-in slots designed to hold the separate Morsø Ignis grill grate. Once fitted you can roast or grill meat, fish, bread and vegetables directly over the coals. The grate is sold separately and is made from stainless steel so it resists rust and cleans up easily.

How heavy is the fire pit and can I move it easily?

It weighs 19kg. That's heavy enough to stay stable in wind but light enough for one person to move between the shed and garden or load into a car for camping trips. The standing legs make it easy to lift without touching the hot bowl.

What size is the Morsø Ignis Fireplace?

The bowl measures 45cm wide by 45cm deep and stands 32cm tall including the legs. That's a compact footprint suited to patios, decking or camping pitches without needing a large open space.

How hot does it get and is that safe?

Maximum recorded temperature is 315°C. As with any open fire you should keep it at least 1 metre from anything flammable, never leave it unattended and always fully extinguish it before leaving the area or going to bed. Keep children and pets at a safe distance while lit.

Does the finish hold up to weather and repeated fires?

The bowl has a painted black finish over solid cast iron. Cast iron is naturally durable and handles high heat well over time. As with any outdoor metal item some surface wear is normal with heavy use, but the core material is built to withstand repeated firing.

What accessories work with this fire pit?

Morsø sells a matching grill grate, fire tongs, a roasting plate and heat-resistant gloves designed to fit the Ignis range. The grill grate measures 44cm x 40cm and weighs 1.1kg. Fire tongs are 52cm long. These let you cook, turn food and manage the fire safely without separate generic tools.

Is there a warranty on this product?

Yes. Morsø includes a 5-year manufacturer warranty on the cast iron construction. Morsø has made cast iron products since 1853 and was named Royal Purveyor to the Danish Court in 1915, a title the company still holds today.
