The Sunnydaze 30″ Royal Cauldron Outdoor Fire Pit with a copper finish has found a new home in our backyard. Out of the box, it only took about 10 minutes to assemble. The fire pit was packed well but had a small dent that we could knock out. 

As we lit the fire, we could tell there were some excellent features to this pit. The included fire poker was a handy tool not only for moving around the wood and kindling, but it served well to remove and replace the spark screen. Speaking of the spark screen, it’s a great idea to help prevent any fires from starting by flying ashes. It also gives a rustic appeal to the pit. 

There are drain holes in the bottom of the cauldron, but you’ll want to manually clean out the fire pit once the ashes have cooled to prevent those holes from plugging up (we found this out after a rainstorm hit as we were burning). The handles on the outside of the pit are decorative and serve as a great way to move the pit for repositioning and cleaning. 

It took a little bit of fanning to get the fire going, but once the coals were burning in the bottom, more wood could be easily added to keep the fire going for a very long time. The shape of the cauldron itself protects the fire from heavy wind. Overall, this is an excellent addition to our backyard, and we cannot wait for the cool days in the fall to relax around it!
