Legacy Series™ Fire Pit Snuffer Lid

A snuffer lid is an essential safety and maintenance tool for any wood-burning fire pit. By quickly depriving the fire of oxygen, it effectively and safely extinguishes flames, preventing the risk of accidental burns or the spread of embers when unattended. Additionally, a snuffer lid protects your fire pit from the elements, prolonging its lifespan and keeping it clean and dry for your next use.

Yes, covering your fire pit with a lid offers several benefits. A lid protects your fire pit from the elements, extending its lifespan by preventing rust and damage. It also keeps debris and pests out of your fire pit, making it easier to clean and use in the future. Most importantly, a fire pit lid can greatly enhance your fireside safety by preventing accidental sparks or embers from re-igniting unexpectedly when unattended.

A snuffer lid is designed to quickly and safely extinguish a fire in a wood burning fire pit. Much like an old-timey snuffer on a candle - but on a larger scale - by completely covering the fire, it deprives the flames of oxygen, causing them to smother and get extinguished. This method is much safer and more efficient than using water to put out a fire in your fire pit, as it prevents the scattering of embers and reduces the risk of burns. A snuffer lid also protects your fire pit from excessive moisture and the elements when not in use, making your next fire safer and easier to ignite.

Buying the correct size snuffer lid for your fire pit will enhance safety and effectiveness of your fire pit cover. To determine which size would fit best, simply measure the interior diameter of your fire pit. A fire pit lid that's too small will sit inside the fire ring and won't properly extinguish the flames. A lid that's too large might be difficult to handle and keep directly on top of your fire pit. It's generally recommended to choose a lid slightly larger than your fire pit for optimal coverage and safety.

The right Snuffer Lid will not only snuff your fire, but also double nicely as the fire pit cover itself. Additionally, your Walden Legacy Series™ Snuffer Lid is coated with a high temperature resistant black paint that is also UV protected, so it will shield you fire pit from the elements and look good for many years to come.

Just about any fire pit lid is better than none, but a domed lid shape is preferable, as it allows the lid to better shed the elements while maintaining its form. A domed shape also allows a bit more room beneath the lid for logs remaining in the fire prior to covering, giving you full control and flexibility for your fireside gatherings.

A fire pit cover should be heavy enough to stand up to many years of use and to stay in place with no worries of the wind carrying it off, but lightweight enough to allow one person to easily place or remove it. The Walden Legacy Series™ Snuffer Lid is just the right balance between being heavy duty and easy to handle. Additionally, the sturdy cool-touch top handle helps in safe and convenient placement and removal of your fire pit cover.
