Overview
Bring substantial American craftsmanship to your outdoor space with The Liberty American Fire Pit by Ohio Flame.
Defined by bold, clean lines and constructed from heavy American carbon steel, The Liberty takes a refreshingly simple approach to outdoor fire: substantial steel, timeless form, and no moving parts to break or wear out over time.
Available in five sizes from 24" to an impressive 48" diameter, The Liberty can anchor everything from an intimate patio to a large-scale outdoor entertaining area. Depending on size, construction ranges from 3/16" to 1/4" thick steel, with the largest 48" model weighing approximately 245 pounds.
Its Natural Steel Finish is intentionally designed to evolve outdoors, gradually developing an iron oxide patina that darkens and gives each fire pit its own character.
An integrated Rain Drain helps prevent water from collecting in the bowl, while the included 4" Round Blocking Plate with Standard Length Centering Tee allows the drain to be closed when desired.
Proudly 100% American made and artisan crafted, The Liberty isn't designed to feel like another seasonal patio accessory. It's a substantial outdoor fire feature made to become part of the landscape.

Why This Product Stands Out
Some fire pits are designed to be replaced.
The Liberty is designed around an entirely different philosophy.
There are no complicated mechanisms, decorative panels, or moving components. Instead, Ohio Flame relies on substantial American carbon steel and straightforward construction.
Even the finish is intentionally uncomplicated.
Rather than attempting to keep raw steel looking permanently new, The Liberty allows nature to become part of the design. Its Natural Steel Finish develops an iron oxide patina, gradually darkening and evolving as the fire pit lives outdoors.
And the larger you go, the more substantial the construction becomes.
The 42" Liberty weighs approximately 186 pounds, while the commanding 48" model weighs approximately 245 pounds and is constructed from 1/4" thick steel.
This isn't lightweight seasonal patio décor.
It's an American-made outdoor fire feature with genuine physical presence.
Choose Your Liberty
The Liberty is available in five sizes, allowing you to select a fire pit proportioned appropriately for your outdoor space.
| Size | Overall Height | Bowl Depth | Steel Thickness | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24" Diameter | 14.5" | 7.5" | 3/16" | 47 lbs. |
| 30" Diameter | 16" | 9" | 3/16" | 72 lbs. |
| 36" Diameter | 18.5" | 11" | 3/16" | 103 lbs. |
| 42" Diameter | 20" | 12" | 1/4" | 186 lbs. |
| 48" Diameter | 22" | 14" | 1/4" | 245 lbs. |
Which Size Should You Choose?
24" Liberty — Compact & Intimate
A strong choice for smaller patios and more intimate seating arrangements where you want authentic Ohio Flame construction without an oversized footprint.
30" Liberty — Versatile Everyday Size
Provides additional fire-bowl capacity and visual presence while remaining manageable for many residential outdoor spaces.
36" Liberty — Substantial Centerpiece
At approximately 103 pounds, the 36" model begins to create a commanding focal point and works particularly well within established outdoor conversation areas.
42" Liberty — Large-Scale Entertaining
Construction increases to 1/4" steel, with a 12" bowl depth and approximately 186-pound weight. An excellent choice when the fire pit needs to hold its own within a larger patio or landscape.
48" Liberty — Maximum Presence
The largest Liberty makes an unmistakable statement. At 48" in diameter, 22" high, 14" deep, and approximately 245 pounds, it's designed for expansive outdoor environments where the fire itself becomes a central feature.

The Beauty of Natural Steel
The Liberty isn't intended to maintain the appearance of freshly manufactured steel.
Its Natural Steel Finish evolves.
Exposure to the outdoor environment gradually produces an iron oxide patina, darkening the surface and creating the distinctive character associated with naturally weathered steel.
That evolution is part of The Liberty's design rather than something that needs to be polished away.
The result is a fire pit that can become more visually integrated with its landscape as it ages.
Built Around Simplicity
One of The Liberty's greatest strengths is what it leaves out.
There are no moving parts to break or wear out.
That simplicity means fewer components demanding attention and allows the substantial steel construction itself to become the focus.
Add firewood.
Build your fire.
Enjoy the experience.
It's outdoor fire reduced to its most authentic form.
Integrated Rain Drain
Outdoor fire pits inevitably encounter rain.
The Liberty incorporates a Rain Drain into the bowl, allowing water to escape rather than simply accumulating inside.
Ohio Flame also includes a 4" Round Blocking Plate with Standard Length Centering Tee.
When desired, the plate can be positioned to close the drain opening and help prevent ash from falling through it.
It's a simple detail, but one that makes sense for a fire pit designed to live outdoors.
Who This Is For
The Liberty is an excellent choice for homeowners who want an outdoor fire feature with the permanence and presence of a substantial landscape element rather than the feel of temporary patio equipment.
It's particularly well suited for:
- Premium patios
- Backyard entertaining areas
- Large outdoor conversation spaces
- Custom landscape designs
- Vacation and second homes
- Rustic-modern properties
- Contemporary outdoor spaces
- Large residential fire-pit areas
- Buyers who prioritize American manufacturing
- Customers who appreciate artisan metalwork
- Anyone seeking a naturally evolving steel finish
For buyers who value American craftsmanship, substantial materials, simple construction, and long-term ownership, The Liberty offers a distinctive alternative to mass-market outdoor fire pits.
Care & Ownership
The Liberty is designed around a naturally evolving steel finish rather than a surface that must remain cosmetically unchanged.
Its iron oxide patina will continue to develop and darken with outdoor exposure.
Periodically remove excess ash and debris as appropriate, and keep the Rain Drain clear when drainage is desired.
Because this is a substantial steel fire feature, always position it on a stable, non-combustible surface and follow Ohio Flame's installation, operating, clearance, and fire-safety recommendations.
Allow the fire pit to cool completely before handling the blocking plate or performing cleaning and maintenance.
Important Safety Information
The Liberty is an outdoor wood-burning fire feature and should be operated responsibly.
Always:
- Use outdoors in an appropriately open location.
- Place the fire pit on a stable, non-combustible surface.
- Maintain appropriate clearances from structures and combustible materials.
- Follow local fire and outdoor-burning regulations.
- Never leave an active fire unattended.
- Keep children and pets appropriately supervised around the fire.
- Allow the steel and ashes to cool completely before cleaning or handling.
- Be aware that the steel itself can become extremely hot during and after use.
