Assemblable fire pit insert

A fire pit insert system configured to be assembled by an end user, the system comprising:

• a plurality of wall panels configured to be secured together by the end user to form a burn chamber, wherein each of the plurality of wall panels has an interior wall segment spaced apart from an exterior wall segment defining a space there between, wherein each of the plurality of wall panels has an attachment with holes therein, wherein the interior and exterior wall segments have holes therein, wherein one of the plurality of wall panels is secured to another of the plurality of wall panels by receiving the attachment of the one of the plurality of wall panels in the space between the interior and exterior wall segments of the another of the plurality of wall panels, aligning the holes in the attachment of the one of the plurality of wall panels with the holes in the interior and exterior wall segments of the another of the plurality of wall panel, and receiving one or more bolts in the aligned holes;
• and
• a plurality of rim portions configured to be removably coupled to the plurality of wall panels,
• wherein the rim portions, when the wall panels are secured together and the rim portions are coupled with the wall panels, rest on a top surface of a structure surrounding the fire pit insert system when the fire pit insert system is placed therein.

A method of assembling a fire pit insert comprising:

• securing a plurality of wall panels together to form a burn chamber,
• wherein each of the plurality of wall panels has an interior wall segment spaced apart from an exterior wall segment and wherein each of the plurality of wall panels comprise a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion comprising two legs that extend further vertically than a middle recessed portion;
• positioning an ash catch on a flange of the interior wall segment within the burn chamber;
• positioning a grate above the ash catch;
• securing one or more rim portions to the top portion of one or more of the plurality of wall panels;
• and
• connecting a first wall panel of the plurality of wall panels to a second wall panel of the plurality of wall panels by receiving an attachment of the first wall panel in between the interior and exterior wall segments of the second wall panel, aligning holes in the attachment with holes in the interior and exterior wall segments of the second wall panel, and receiving a bolt in the aligned holes.
