Cons of the Camp Chef Del Rio Gas Fire Pit
Based on some reviews there were problems with the igniter switch. The igniter switch didn’t work properly and the fire pit couldn’t stay lit. This may be because of the gas feed not being lined up properly or other assembly problems.
Worth noting about the lava rocks;
According to Camp Chef, you may need to cure your Lava rocks that come with your Camp Chef propane fire pit before a lifetime of use. To do this, simply bake your rocks for about 10 minutes in your fire pit while maintaining a safe distance from your fire pit. This is because depending on the nature of the lava rock, some may crack and pop out of the fire pit. Don’t worry though, it’s not guaranteed that your lava rocks will pop, but just to be safe stay a few feet away. After those 10 minutes your lava rocks will be cured ready for a lifetime of use.
You could also use decorative fire pit glass instead of lava rocks for a more appealing look. However, fire pit glass is not meant to be used in the fire pit when cooking.
Conclusion
As said earlier a Camp Chef propane fire pit is ideal for almost any outdoor setting, and especially great for small outdoor spaces, for camping and tailgating. Get to do your cooking as you enjoy a cool evening outdoors with friends or family.
