This means that if you want to use the Fireside Outdoor Pop-Up Fire Pit on your lawn, you can - and you will not end up with a dead spot in your lawn. You don’t need it if you’re building a fire on the beach or on rocks or over packed dirt, but if you want to build a fire over vegetation, the Heat Shield will protect grass from scorching. Why?

I assembled the Fireside Outdoor Pop-Up Fire Pit in about two minutes, crumpled some newspaper and stacked some large kindling and had a crackling fire going in under 5 minutes. All it took to win me over was a single fire on a chilly night on a dispersed camping site without a fire ring or a good place to make one.
