Bond Manufacturing 36" Inch Mondavi Premium Faux Concrete/Cement Fire Bowl (Includes Burner & Lava Rock) Propane (Natural Gas Convertible)

Rolled the dice and bought this propane fire pit after reading a ton of reviews of several. Super happy we chose it. It’s the perfect size for our large deck. The flames are adjustable and they heat very well. It was delivered without anything broke or missing. It’s heavy. Easy to assemble and looks lovely! Buy it before they are gone 😊 Nancy State College, Pa

What's not to love? The substantial size allows for 8 people to comfortably sit around it. It isn't your run of the mill, home improvement store looking firepit. It looks fablous on our lakeside deck. We haven't had any problems with it so far and I would buy it again in a New York minute. There are only two things that I would mention just so others aren't disappointed (I wasn't, but others might have different expectations)--if you live in a place that gets really cold in the winter and are expecting it to keep you toasty warm, you won't be very happy. We've been using it on 70 to 80 F evenings and the only person who might start to feel too warm and have to move is the one sitting directly down wind of it. We actually prop our feet on the rim. The only other item that might disappoint some people is the fact that the lava rocks do not fill the bowl as completely as pictured and they are somewhat smaller in size. I just bought a 10-pound jug of reflective fire glass and sprinkled it on top of the lava. It adds a nice sparkle when the fire is burning. We have been shopping for a firepit for several years and this one had exactly the look I wanted and the price was very reasonable compaired to similar styles which ran as high as $1,800.00. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a firepit more for the ambience than for the heat. For us it's perfect.

One of the things I was hopeful about was that this fire pit would be hotter than most of the others, because it is 65,000 BTU, as opposed to the seemingly standard 50,000 BTU. When you turn it all the way up the flame is probably a foot and a half tall, and puts out some pretty good heat. There are a couple pictures in the ad that show a tank table/cover. In the description it says it comes with a “tank seat”; because of the pictures, I thought that might be a tank cover/seat. It is not. It comes with a little ring that the tank sits on. I guess it is to protect the deck from a possibly rusting tank, but it does not cover the tank. I would give it a 5 if it had come with the cover/table. It’s fairly difficult to move around, because there’s nowhere to grip the edge, and because of the slope it’s difficult to grab it at the bottom, and it’s decently heavy. The weight is not the problem; two people can easily carry the weight. So, plan to place it somewhere and leave it there pretty much. I’m happy with it for the price.

It's nice quantity and hot! Hot like a wood burning firepit. The container isn't too heavy that my friend and I could even carry it. It was sturdy/heavy enough that I wouldn't worry about kids around it either. We are so happy we ordered this one. It was easy to install and looks like high quality. It was also so nice and bright that our solar lights in our trees turned off during the burning. The flame was about 1 foot tall on the highest setting.

I got three of these they are beautiful I have had them about a year and the finish is pealing off.

We put this firepit in our backyard. We have desert landscaping and the firepit was the finishing touch. I love the look. It’s not too heavy, or too big, but substantial. Heat output is good too. And best of all, no smoke!!!

Love the product. Had it professionally converted to natural gas and it works like a charm. It’s easy to start and is a beautiful modern appliance on our paver deck. We’re in Florida by the beach so we do have cool windy nights. It’s perfect for chilling outside all year long.

Ours worked as advertised for about 9 months. We only used it a few times and we kept it covered when not in use. Then one evening I tried to turn it on and no gas was coming out of the heating element so it would not light. I tried resetting the propane regulator and switching to a new propane line. It was irreparable and had to be thrown away.

Bad experience with Bond mondavi! Ordered on September 17 and it was canceled because damaged before it got delivered. Over month later still waiting for money to be reimbursed. Bond mondavi is not reputable company.
