Experience a relaxing and soothing campfire in your own garden - this is one of the most beautiful experiences that comes with having your own garden. Because the atmospheric romance of a campfire makes you forget the stressful workday and is good for the soul - a piece of vacation flair in the home garden, as they say. This article is about fire bowls made of stainless steel, because they bring the best properties for a fire bowl and are a decorative highlight in the garden.
The advantages of stainless steel fire bowls over other fire bowls
Stainless steel fire bowls are extremely heat resistant and can be easily fired with charcoal or firewood. Unlike iron or steel, stainless steel does not rust and remains smooth & shiny - even after several years, a stainless steel fire bowl looks as good as new. Due to the rust-free property of stainless steel, you not only own a visual highlight in your home garden, but it also makes ongoing maintenance much easier. While steel or iron fire bowls are a case for the scrap yard after a certain time, stainless steel fire bowls are a one-time investment that comes with enormous advantages.
So are stainless steel fire bowls:
- heat resistant
- corrosion resistant
- weatherproof
- stainless
- enormously durable
With these "superhero" properties, a stainless steel fire bowl is the most suitable material for atmospheric campfire evenings with family and friends. The stainless steel fire bowl can be left in the garden all year round - whether in wet or cold weather - for years without showing signs of rust or suffering any loss of quality, which can be seen immediately after a week with steel fire bowls. The enormous durability, combined with the high-quality appearance, which is particularly appreciated by design-savvy architects of luxurious designer buildings, make stainless steel fire bowls an absolute must if you want to focus on quality and appearance. Matching stainless steel accessories are also available, e.g. in the form of covers to transform the fire bowl into a lounge table when not in use.
Buy stainless steel fire bowl - what to consider ?
For stainless steel fire bowls, especially at first glance cheap fire bowls, you should pay attention to the following features:
- The workmanship: Unfortunately, it often happens that the workmanship of cheaper offers is miserable - so there are still burrs on the fire bowl that can cause serious injuries and the welds were not ground cleanly, so that the fire bowl looks like cheap goods and you can also hurt your hands here. Especially here you should rely on a qualitative processing and take a little more money in hand to not have to bother in the future with scratches and injuries because of poor workmanship.
- The bowl: The stainless steel bowl of the fire bowl is the heart - if quality was skimped here, the bowl will bend very quickly in a fire, so that you quickly no longer have fun with the fire bowl. Here it is important to ensure that the material thickness of the stainless steel is at least 2 mm - the stainless steel fire bowls from our steel art forge have a material thickness of at least 3 mm.
- The base frame: The base frame is extremely important for the stability of the fire bowl and therefore also for your safety - after all, it's hard to imagine what could happen if the fire bowl tips over in a strong gust of wind. For this reason, the base of the stainless steel fire bowl must be very stable and also have a certain weight - so that it does not tip over even in the event of sudden stormy weather. Make sure that the bowl and the base are firmly attached to each other and that nothing is "loose" - otherwise this can be dangerous.
- Height: The height of the fire bowl and in particular the distance between the bowl and the lawn below is important in order to be able to assess whether the ground under the fire bowl can be damaged. A perfect center is also crucial: If the fire bowl is too high, the heat will bounce enormously against your own face when you sit by the fire bowl. It's easy to forget this when buying a fire bowl - our "Eccentric" stainless steel fire bowl, for example, is 35 cm high.
ATTENTION: The base frame of the fire bowl should also be made of stainless steel - you often see fire bowls sold as "stainless steel fire bowls", although only the bowl is made of stainless steel and the base frame is made of conventional steel. The base will rust and the rust will also spread to the stainless steel bowl - steel and stainless steel cannot be combined, as the rusty steel will also cause the stainless steel to rust!

Accessories for stainless steel fire bowls
The accessories for fire bowls, which are made of stainless steel, is also very important. Because with a grill ring it is possible to grill on the fire bowl and sizzle delicious steaks. Or you can transform your fire bowl into a beautiful lounge table with a matching lid.
Here it is of enormous importance that the accessories are also made of stainless steel. Because as soon as they are made of conventional steel, for example, the accessories will rust over time. As soon as the rusty steel comes into contact with the stainless steel of the fire bowl, the beautiful stainless steel will also lose its rust-free property and will also start to rust. For this reason, stainless steel should also not be processed with equipment that has been used to process other materials. Stainless steel should only ever come into contact with stainless steel.
The care of a stainless steel fire bowl - difficult or uncomplicated ?
The stainless steel fire bowl is very easy to clean compared to fire bowls made of other materials, as dirt particles have a hard time sticking to the smooth surface of the stainless steel.
For the care of the stainless steel, we recommend either the conventional stainless steel cleaner or the citrus cleaner - especially the latter makes the stainless steel look like new again after cleaning and is our main cleaning agent when caring for the stainless steel fire bowls.
