Hykolity 35 Inch Fire Pit with Cooking Grate & Charcoal Pan, Outdoor Wood Burning BBQ Grill Firepit Bowl with Cover Lid, Steel Round Table

I have been using this fire pit for almost a year, at least 2 times every week. It is still very durable. The only problem is that the cap doesn't fit perfectly with the pit but other than that, very satisfying.

I purchased the Hykolity 2 in 1 fire pit with grill after looking at dozens of fire pits over multiple websites. I was looking for one that was the most reasonably priced with the overall best reviews and this was the one. My goal is to learn to cook outside without a stovetop or gas oven, just because I feel it’s important of be able to cook under different circumstances. With extended power outages becoming more frequent, having a back up plan seems prudent. This fire pit was very easy to assemble, it only took one person to assemble it and about 15 minutes. The large ring around the outer perimeter makes moving it very easy. We did follow the instructions and place sand in the bottom before cooking. I was able to start a fire very easily, even though I chose a very windy, cold, and drizzly day to have my cook out. I’m getting impatient for spring. The cutouts around the sides of the fire pit allowed for terrific ventilation and I had no problems maintaining my fire. The tool to remove the hot lid works better than anticipated. It looks and feels flimsy, but it works very well to securely hook the lid and remove it, it also serves as a poker to move around the logs and bits of coals as I was cooking. The firepit is 31” in circumference and it seems bigger than I thought it would be, which is a bonus. For my purposes of the first cook out, I didn’t use the grill that came with the fire pit, I will likely test that out during the summer. The grill that came with it does appear to be quality stainless still and very sturdy. This fire pit holds heat so well that it took several hours for the coals to die down completely. I kept the fire pit well away from any structures on my property and periodically checked it and stirred the coals into the sand every hour for about 5 hours before all of the little embers were completely out. PLEASE make sure your fire pit is completely out before moving to its storage location to prevent accidental fires. I did purchase a waterproof cover for the fire pit, as it is powder-coated and heavy-duty steel material, which has excellent high temperature-proof and rust-proof, per the manufacturer. I want to give it every opportunity to last as long as possible, so am keeping it in an area under an eve with the water proof cover to further decrease risk of rust. If there are changes, I will come back and update the review. I purchased this fire pit when there was a coupon, so paid a total of $100.31 on February 19, 2023, which is by far, much cheaper than any other fire pit that I looked at. As of the time of this review, I would definitely recommend this fire pit to anyone looking for a non-gas burning fire pit. I burned a combination of mulberry and peach wood when I had my first cook out. It can also burn charcoal briquets. It does have drainage holes in the bottom. This is not intended to be used on flammable surfaces, such as decks, patio carpets, etc. I hope this review helped and happy shopping!

It showed up early (on a Monday) but we didn’t have time to assemble it till the weekend only to find out it’d be impossible to do since it didn’t come with any of the parts actually needed to hold it all together. We spend who knows how much going throw all the plastic and foam hoping we had just missed them but no, they were no where to be found.Edit: we managed to put it together and it’s pretty good

 Nice fire pit, keeps warm better than most that don’t have the side holes. Swivel grill top is also pretty awesome and worked great for the hotdogs. Can’t wait to cook up some steaks. Toasting marshmallows worked good too. I’m so glad we chose this one.

Very easy to assemble, took under 30 minutes for 1 senior woman! Seems very sturdy and it's attractive. One thing to note is that the lid doesn't go on when the grill grate is attached. I guess it doesn't really matter but I was surprised to know that. See the close up photo-the post that holds the grill is too long and sticks up too high for the lid to go on. The post would need to be shorter or the lid would need to be more "domed" or rounded for it to work. Otherwise so far so good.

Really good for the price, I’ve cooked a ribeye and New York strip over the fire and it was actually amazing compared to pan or grill

It’s been a great fire pit! We did get sand to put in the bottom and we have had no issues. We have used it every weekend since we got it. Only one tiny minor complaint would be it doesn’t come with a cover that would protect it from the elements but other than that it’s pretty great.

Easy to assemble and works perfect in my inner city Baltimore back area.

Easy to assemble and looks great!!

There is some gapping on the ring around the pit but it hasn’t fallen apart so it seems ok.
