What it's for
Decking, lawn,
wherever you
actually sit.
A fire pit sends heat straight down. On stone or a paving slab that is fine. On timber decking or grass it leaves a mark — a scorched ring on the boards, a dead patch on the lawn — and that is why most people end up putting the pit somewhere they did not really want it.
The base goes in between. It holds the pit up off the surface so there is air underneath instead of contact.
Which means the fire sits where the chairs already are.
Two sizes: 27 cm for the El Campo, 37 cm for the El Fuego. Go by the pit you own.

Eco-friendly, and here's why
Plant wax.
Not trees.
A wood fire needs wood. Something gets felled, split, dried, bagged and driven to a forecourt so it can be burned for an hour.
ECOFUEGO burns a solid block of 100% plant wax. A renewable, biodegradable crop, made by a company that started out pouring frost candles for vineyards.
And because there is no wood in it, there is no wood smoke. That is the part that carries the smell, settles in your clothes, and drifts over the fence into somebody else's evening.
Before you buy
The questions
people ask.
Will it stop my decking scorching?
That is what it is for. The pit stands raised, with air underneath rather than resting straight on the boards. Site it sensibly all the same — level ground, clear of anything overhanging, and at least 3 m from buildings or anything that will catch.
Can I put the fire pit on a table if I use the base?
No, and this is the one to get right. Fire pits go on the ground — never a table, a bench or any raised surface. The base does not change that. Flames reach up to three feet and the unit is heavy enough to matter if it goes over.
Which size fits my pit?
27 cm for the El Campo, 37 cm for the El Fuego. Pick the size that matches the pit you already own rather than the one you like the look of.
Does a base come with the fire pit?
No. Every pit ships with the burner, lid, drum, a first refill and a cover or travel case. The base is a separate purchase.
What is it made of?
Powder-coated steel in matte black, built to sit outdoors. Wipe it down when it needs it.
Warranty and returns?
For a return, a fault or anything damaged in transit, email customercare@ecofuego.com and they will tell you where you stand and sort it out. Faulty or mis-supplied items are on us.

My friends could not believe the amount of heat that came off from what is essentially a very large candle.
★★★★★ Edd Wheldon · Verified buyerGreat flames and surprising heat, it is also easily moved around our different garden areas.

★★★★★ Matthew Greenwood · Verified buyerIt's so easy to light and put out, I use it every day sitting out having my morning coffee.
★★★★★ Claireshields · Verified buyerWas very doubtful on this working. The reviews were too good. But after blindly trying its safe to say the reviews are right.
★★★★★ Kobie · Verified buyerWe didn't want to deal with the hassle of burning wood… Love the height of the flames and the warmth they produce.
★★★★★ Yossi Ayalon · Verified buyerGoes under
Which pit is it
standing on?
Both pits burn the identical wax refill. The only real difference is whether it stays on the terrace or comes with you.
