Abstract

A fire pit having a deflector ring that is received in a fire screen located on the top of the fire pit. The deflector ring has wall portions that are angled from 45 to 75 degrees for deflecting heat onto the feet, body, and head of users surrounding the fire pit, reducing smoke production, and for minimizing flame obstruction. The fire pit includes a pit body having a wall section and a top surface that defines a fire pit receptacle opening. A lower screen is located above the top surface. An upper screen is located above the lower screen. A frustum-shaped deflector is received in the lower screen. An outer surface of a wall portion of the deflector is for radiating heat onto a user's body and feet, and an inner surface of the wall portion of the deflector is for radiating heat onto a user's body and head.
