KiwiFire 3 Year Workmanship Warranty
Premium Smokeless Fire Pit Warranty – Built to Last in Real Outdoor Conditions
If you’re investing in a premium smokeless fire pit, you want confidence that it’s built with quality and integrity. KiwiFire stands behind its craftsmanship with a comprehensive 3 Year Workmanship Warranty designed specifically for outdoor fire pits exposed to real-world environments.
Our fire pits are proudly 100% New Zealand made, engineered for durability, performance, and timeless outdoor entertaining.
What This Smokeless Fire Pit Warranty Covers
KiwiFire warrants that your KiwiFire Smokeless Fire Pit and genuine KiwiFire accessories will be free from defects in workmanship for three (3) years from the original date of purchase under normal residential use.
This warranty covers:
-
Structural welding faults
-
Fabrication defects
-
Assembly workmanship issues
-
Manufacturing-related component failures
If a valid workmanship defect is identified within the warranty period, KiwiFire will, at its discretion:
-
Repair the affected component
-
Replace the defective part
-
Provide an equivalent remedy
Outdoor Fire Pit Materials & Environmental Exposure
KiwiFire smokeless fire pits are manufactured from heavy gauge, premium-grade corten and carbon steels designed specifically for outdoor environments.
However, like all high-quality outdoor steel products, material performance is influenced by:
-
Coastal or salt-air environments
-
High humidity or rainfall
-
Pool or chlorine exposure
-
Fertiliser or chemical contact
-
Lack of drainage or airflow
-
Surface damage from impact or abrasion
- For carbon steel cooking accessories - lack of care and proper seasoning
Important: Natural Weathering Is Expected
Corten steel is designed to develop a protective rust-like patina. The following are normal and not considered defects:
-
Surface oxidation
-
Patina colour variation
-
Natural weathering changes
-
Minor surface texture variation
-
Heat-related surface changes from fire use
These characteristics are part of the beauty and durability of outdoor corten steel fire pits.
What Is Not Covered
This workmanship warranty does not cover:
-
Normal wear and tear
-
Cosmetic changes or surface rust
-
Environmental corrosion in extreme conditions
-
Damage caused by misuse or over-firing
-
Use of fuels other than recommended firewood
-
Improper installation
-
Commercial or hospitality use (unless agreed in writing)
-
Unapproved modifications or alterations
-
Acts of nature (storm, flood, fire damage)
Fire Pit Care & Maintenance Responsibilities
To maintain warranty eligibility, owners must:
-
Install the fire pit in a suitable outdoor location
-
Allow proper airflow and drainage
-
Avoid excessive moisture retention
-
Use only recommended fuels
-
Avoid overloading or sustained extreme heat exposure
Your fire pit is designed to be the centerpiece of outdoor entertaining, but proper care ensures it remains built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does rust void my fire pit warranty?
No. Surface rust and patina development are normal characteristics of corten steel and are expected in outdoor fire pits.
Is my fire pit covered in coastal environments?
Yes — however, coastal exposure accelerates weathering. Material longevity depends on environmental conditions and owner care. This is subject to Smokelis/KiwiFire expert judgement based on the conditions described and the rate of oxidation over time.
Is commercial use covered?
Commercial or hospitality use is excluded unless expressly agreed in writing.
