The Del Rio"s new design features decorative lava rock for improved flame performance and even heat diffusion. Camp Chef Gas Fire Pits are allowed for use in most fire ban restrictions, check with the local Ranger Station before use. Features include: includes all weather patio cover; includes four extendable roasting sticks; regulator and 5 ft hose included Product specifications: total output: 55,000 BTU/hr; outer diameter: 29"; bowl diameter: 24"; bowl height to ground: 11"; materials: heavy gauge steel, copper Setup and Curing: due to the nature of lava rocks, some rocks may need to "cure" before a lifetime of enjoyment. To do this, simply setup the firepit and ignite on high, allowing it to "bake" the rocks for about 10 minutes. During these few minutes, maintain a safe distance while a small portion of the rock may, or may not, crack and gently pop. After 10 minutes, the rock will be cured and setup complete."
