You can tell right away that Focus Fires aren't your ordinary fire pits. Crafted like pieces of art, these are formed by spinning steel on a custom mold to form a smooth surface with no welded seams.
In 1967, Dominique Imbre, a former humanities professor, made the first Focus in his quaint workshop in the south of France. The need to restore an old farmhouse and pieces of salvaged scrap metal is what sparked his passion for sculpting and shaping metal.
Guided by the belief that design is the expression between art and functionality, Focus has become a globally known brand winning numerous design awards and exporting a majority of its products overseas.
The brand takes pride in all its creations made in France, preserving the tradition where it all began.
A Wood-Burning Fire Pit and Grill in One
The Sigmafocus is designed around a real solid-fuel fire, creating an outdoor experience that is fundamentally different from cooking on a conventional gas appliance.
Use it as a wood-burning fire pit when you want the warmth and atmosphere of an open flame. When you're ready to cook, the grilling setup turns the fire pit into an outdoor grill for preparing food directly over the fire.
This dual-purpose design makes the Sigmafocus particularly suitable for patios and outdoor entertaining areas where both live fire and cooking are important.
Cook Over Wood or Charcoal
The Sigmafocus can be used for grilling with wood or charcoal, giving you more control over the type of outdoor cooking experience you want.
Wood creates the experience of cooking over a live fire, while charcoal provides the familiar cooking method associated with a traditional charcoal grill. The grill grate provides a dedicated cooking surface above the fuel.
Unlike a gas grill with adjustable burners, cooking over solid fuel requires managing the fire, embers, and cooking position. For homeowners who enjoy hands-on outdoor cooking, this is part of the appeal of a fire pit grill.
Sculptural Focus Design for Outdoor Spaces
The Sigmafocus is not simply a cooking appliance. Its distinctive shape reflects Focus' design-led approach to fireplaces and fire features, giving the fire pit a strong visual presence even when it is not being used for cooking.
Its combination of fire, cooking, and contemporary design makes the Sigmafocus an alternative to placing a separate fire pit and charcoal grill in the same outdoor entertaining area.
What to Consider Before Buying a Sigmafocus Fire Pit Grill
Before installing the Sigmafocus, review its overall dimensions and required safety clearances to determine an appropriate location in your outdoor space.
Because this is an open-flame wood-burning fire pit and charcoal grill, placement should follow Focus' installation and operating requirements, including the specified distances from combustible materials and surrounding structures.
You should also consider how you plan to use the Sigmafocus. Wood is suited to creating both an open-fire atmosphere and a live-fire cooking experience, while charcoal provides another option when grilling is the primary purpose.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding approved fuels, installation, operation, cooking, and maintenance.
