Let’s talk fire pits

Q: Will the rust affect my food?

No, H&amp;S Metalcraft fire pits use separate mild steel cooking plates, so food is not cooked directly on the weathered corten steel surface of the fire pit. Corten steel develops a natural rust patina as part of its weathering process, while the cooking plate is designed specifically for food preparation and can be seasoned and maintained in the same way as other steel cooking surfaces. For best cooking results, food should always be cooked on the designated cooking plate rather than directly on the fire pit itself.

Q: Which is the best fire pit if I want to use it as a BBQ, a camp oven and a classic fire pit?

If you&#39;re looking for a versatile fire pit that can be used for outdoor cooking as well as providing warmth and ambience, a multi-purpose design is often the best choice. The H&amp;S Metalcraft Ultimate Aussie Fire Pit is designed to perform multiple roles in one unit. It features a full-edge BBQ plate for grilling, a camp oven setup for traditional campfire cooking such as damper and baked potatoes, and functions as a classic fire pit for gathering around with family and friends. By combining cooking and heating capabilities in a single Australian-made fire pit, it offers flexibility for a wide range of outdoor entertaining and backyard cooking experiences.

But not just any fire pit. We’re talking about a serious game-changer for backyard barbies, campfire cooking, and starlit nights with a cold drink in hand.

Say hello to this H&S Metalcraft custom-designed, Aussie-made beast of a fire pit. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill fire ring; it’s a versatile outdoor kitchen, a statement piece, and a good old-fashioned fire pit all rolled into one.

Built Tough

Crafted entirely from 6mm corten steel, this fire pit isn’t messing around. Corten is famous for developing that rugged, weathered look over time, forming a protective layer that looks better with age.

Top that off with carbon steel BBQ plates that heat evenly and handle serious sizzle. It’s a setup built to last through thousands of snags, steaks, and smoky sunsets.

Flexibility is Its Middle Name

Whether you're a weekend camper, an outdoor chef, or just someone who loves a good fire under the stars, this unit’s three-in-one versatility is where it really shines:

Full-Edge BBQ Plate – fire up the grill and sear your steaks with confidence. The circular plate surrounds the fire perfectly, making it easy to feed a hungry crew.
Camp Oven Setup – got a stew or damper on the go? This setup is ready to support your cast iron creations with solid heat retention and easy access.
Classic Fire Pit – strip it back to basics and enjoy a wide-open one metre diameter fire pit. Toast marshmallows, spin yarns, and let the flames do the talking.

And the best bit? Everything is modular and removable — no tools, no fuss. Go from cooking to chilling in minutes (although the plates will obviously be HOT once the fire pit is in use!)

Aussie Designed - Aussie Made

This beauty isn’t imported. It’s designed, fabricated, and finished right here in Australia, in Jervis Bay on the South Coast, to be precise. That means it’s made for the Australian lifestyle and conditions — harsh summers, spontaneous camping trips, backyard cricket games, and all.

Plus, if you're the type who loves customisation, you’ll be chuffed to know it can be tailored to suit your style or branding.

In a Nutshell?

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the safest type of fire pit for my family?

When choosing a fire pit, safety depends on factors such as stability, construction quality, responsible use and proper placement. A well-built fire pit made from durable materials is generally a safer option than lightweight alternatives that may be more susceptible to movement or damage over time.

H&S Metalcraft fire pits are manufactured from heavy-duty corten steel and designed with a stable, robust structure to help contain the fire and provide a solid outdoor heating solution. Laser-cut ventilation features promote airflow for efficient burning, while the substantial construction helps reduce the risk of accidental movement or tipping.

Regardless of the fire pit you choose, it should always be used on a suitable non-combustible surface, with adequate clearance from buildings, vegetation and other flammable materials, and never left unattended while in use.

Will the rust affect my food?

No, H&S Metalcraft fire pits use separate mild steel cooking plates, so food is not cooked directly on the weathered corten steel surface of the fire pit.

Corten steel develops a natural rust patina as part of its weathering process, while the cooking plate is designed specifically for food preparation and can be seasoned and maintained in the same way as other steel cooking surfaces.
