The walls rise up around the fire, curving or angling inward just enough to focus the heat and make the flames feel tucked inside their own den.
It gives the fire a sheltered, moody look. The glow stays deeper, richer, like it’s breathing from within a hollow. That open “cave” face lets you feed wood easily and enjoy the view of the coals without leaning over the whole pit, while the other sides guard the heat and hold everything tight.
A pit like this is made for nights when you want warmth that wraps around you. It’s rugged, distinctive, and feels ancient—like a little steel cavern holding a piece of the sun.
