This pit will hold fairly large pieces of wood that would otherwise fit in a wood stove or indoor fireplace. The construction is sturdy and from mostly good materials, as are all Weber products. The bottom ring that sits in the basin could have been less flimsy material in my opinion. We'll see how it stands up to heat. The top ring and all supports are stronger, thicker steel, as are the legs. The wood screws that hold the wood handles to their mounts are cheap. If you back one out, (say to turn the Weber logo right side up) it will strip. This was easily fixed with larger brass wood screws I had lying around the garage. I was slightly surprised that it had the "Made in China" stamp on the box. Most Weber replacement parts and charcoal grills I've seen are USA manufactured. <br /> The ash-catcher is just for show, unless you want to drill holes in the bottom basin. I wouldn't recommend it. Anyway, it does look sharp. I'll put it to the fire test soon... <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 I was pleasantly surprised as the unit is bigger in real life than it appears in the pictures.
