1 piece Franklin Pit including Pit Cover

Franklin Pits are made with all American steel. Markings, numbers, letterings and uneven patina reflect the true construction of the pit, made right here in the USA. Once a raw steel pit is finished, we coat it with all natural food grade oil and wax. Consistent oiling and maintenance will lead to a deeper and changing patina over time.
Just like wood, steel has a grain. It expands and contracts. Flexes and twists. Eventually the molecules in your pit will settle down as time passes and fires are built. When using your pit, a little extra movement in the steel will occur over several heat cycles.
