Want to know what goes into our custom fire pits?
I LOVE this part. Why? Because it's what gives everyone comfort that their hard-earned money into this conversation piece is heirloom worthy! Only the best components are used to make the premium fire pit setup you'd expect at a very reasonable price.
400+#10 hex screws
First, the drilling...
Every hoop and stave (the vertical, wooden piece of the barrel) are drilled and fastened with a #10 hex screw to not only give it a riveted look, but tighten the barrel so it won't ever fall apart. When finished, there are over 400 screws making it as solid as a rock!
2+2coats of stain and sealer
Next, the sanding, staining & sealing...
Each barrel is sanded and receives two coats of a Dark Walnut stain. Want a different finish? Just ask if you'd like something else! After the stain dries, we apply two coats of a Spar Urethane: a clear coat that provides UV protection and is mold & mildew resistant.
~500taps of a 2lb. sledge
Forming the fire pan...
Using a specific wine barrel matters. When mounted to the head of the barrel we then use a torch and a 2lb. sledge hammer... about 500 "taps" and a dozen laps around the barrel gently form the edge over the chime (lip) of the barrel. This gives it the unique look and protection from any potential burn to the barrel itself.
250,000BTU's, adjustable
Attaching the burner...
Harnessing up to 250,000 BTU's is no joking matter! All plumbing is secured tightly to the barrel and metal pan. Don't worry, the flame is adjustable and controlled by a fireplace key mounted on the side of the barrel for easy access.
1.25″thick table, Galvalume top
Did you ring?!?
Most of our orders request the coffee table ring and tabletop cover. The wood is OSB, which is water resistant (what's under your roofing shingles), glued (with water resistant glue) and screwed together to form a 1.25" thick table. We then bond a Galvalume (galvanized metal with zinc & aluminum) metal to it creating a surface that is rust-proof, easy to clean and super durable. Not to mention WAY cool looking!

About us
Colorado Crafted
How it came to be...
I searched and searched for reasonably priced fire pits and came up short. Big box retailers offered little character and wimpy flame output, I had a couple wine barrels on-hand, so I decided to create my own!
Several years later...
Eventually, enough people convinced me to offer up building custom wine barrel fire pits. So, I sourced the materials and came up with my first two models: Dining Table (Full Barrel) and Coffee Table height versions. Customer feedback had me offer a matching metal/wood ring, a Copper Sink Cabinet, Whiskey Flights, a Serving Tray and the list keeps growing...check out the photo gallery for visuals!
It's a family business!
