Fire Pit Art Third Rock Steel Propane Electronic Ignition Fire Pit

Inspired by the beauty of our home planet and handcrafted to become the focal point of exceptional outdoor living, the Fire Pit Art Third Rock Liquid Propane Fire Pit with All-Weather Electronic Ignition combines award-winning American craftsmanship with the flexibility of portable gas performance.

Designed for luxury homes where installing a natural gas line isn't practical, the Third Rock delivers the same breathtaking flames and effortless push-button convenience while allowing greater freedom in placement. Simply conceal a standard propane tank, ignite the fire with the touch of a button, and enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a professionally designed outdoor fire feature.

Whether gathering with friends beside the pool, relaxing on the patio after sunset, or creating an inviting atmosphere for outdoor entertaining, the Third Rock makes every evening feel extraordinary.

Design Inspiration

The Third Rock celebrates the rugged beauty of the planet we call home.

Its organically sculpted bowl echoes the contours of natural landscapes, while hand-forged textures reflect the artistry and craftsmanship that define every Fire Pit Art creation. The timeless silhouette blends effortlessly with contemporary architecture, rustic retreats, and professionally designed landscapes alike.

As the flames dance across the handcrafted bowl, the Third Rock becomes more than a fire feature—it becomes an outdoor sculpture that naturally draws people together.

American Craftsmanship

Every Third Rock Fire Pit is individually handcrafted in Tennessee by skilled American artisans using heavy-duty 1/4-inch carbon steel.

Each fire pit is formed, welded, ground, and hand-finished before receiving Fire Pit Art's signature Iron Oxide Patina. This naturally weathering finish continues to evolve over time, producing rich earth-tone character unique to every fire pit.

At its center is a premium stainless steel Penta burner engineered to create a broad, natural-looking flame pattern. Combined with Fire by Design's professional-grade All-Weather Electronic Ignition System, the Third Rock delivers dependable performance while preserving the handcrafted artistry that has made Fire Pit Art an industry leader.

Every fire pit is individually numbered by artist Rick Wittrig and backed by Fire Pit Art's lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Luxury Gas Performance

Luxury should never require compromise.

The Third Rock brings together handcrafted American artistry and the convenience of clean-burning propane, allowing you to enjoy beautiful flames without smoke, ash, or the maintenance associated with wood-burning fires.

Unlike permanent natural gas installations, liquid propane provides exceptional flexibility, making it an ideal solution for patios, pool decks, vacation homes, and outdoor spaces where a gas line is unavailable. Hidden beneath or adjacent to the fire feature, the propane tank remains discreet while providing reliable performance for memorable evenings outdoors.

The premium stainless steel Penta burner creates a balanced, full flame that enhances the sculptural beauty of the Third Rock while delivering welcoming warmth for family and guests.

Care & Patina Information

The Third Rock is finished with Fire Pit Art's signature Iron Oxide Patina, a naturally weathering finish that continues to develop additional character over time.

To maintain your fire pit:

• Do not cover the fire pit with a tarp, as trapped moisture can affect the natural weathering process.
• Remove wet leaves and standing debris from the bowl when not in use.
• Periodically inspect the burner, ignition components, and propane connections to ensure they remain clean and secure.
• Follow all manufacturer recommendations for propane tank storage and replacement.

The natural patina will continue evolving throughout the life of the fire pit, enhancing its handcrafted appearance.
