A control panel controls activation of at least one of a light source and the actuator and communicates with a circuit board and the battery. A cavity beneath the seat portion may be provided to house the battery, solar panel, and to store a solar equipped cover. Arms on the recliner may be provided with an accessory orifice to receive a mounting member of an accessory table.

Abstract: A fire pit has a combustion chamber with a perforated floor, a chute below the perforated floor directing ash and debris from the floor to an area below the chute, and a removable ash pan occupying the area below the chute and having a handle affixed thereto.

Abstract: A fire pit having a deflector ring that is received in a fire screen located on the top of the fire pit. The deflector ring has wall portions that are angled from 45 to 75 degrees for deflecting heat onto the feet, body, and head of users surrounding the fire pit, reducing smoke production, and for minimizing flame obstruction. The fire pit includes a pit body having a wall section and a top surface that defines a fire pit receptacle opening. A lower screen is located above the top surface. An upper screen is located above the lower screen. A frustum-shaped deflector is received in the lower screen. An outer surface of a wall portion of the deflector is for radiating heat onto a user's body and feet, and an inner surface of the wall portion of the deflector is for radiating heat onto a user's body and head.

Abstract: An insert ring that suspends a fire pit at least partially within an opening of a support structure, and provides ventilation into the support structure to an outer wall of the fire pit.

Abstract: A base supports a fire platform with a burner. A tabletop defines an opening with a contour matching a contour of a top rim of the fire platform and is selectively fitted to the base to create a table surface around the fire platform. A fire column selectively fits to the fire platform such that flame from the burner travels into the fire column.

Abstract: A multi-piece cooktop compatible with various firepits for creating a firepit assembly.

Abstract: A fire pit screen has a fire pit screen lower portion including an upright screen wall defining a top opening and a bottom opening, and a fire pit screen upper portion comprising a screen top panel sized to fit on top of the screen wall covering the top opening thereof.

Abstract: A solar powered cover for outdoor furniture having enhanced functions. The outdoor furniture defines a table top supported by a base that defines an interior for receiving a fuel tank. A solar cover is received on the table top for covering the outdoor furniture. A solar panel is affixed to the top portion of the cover and communicates with the solar panel. The enhanced functions may include lighting, an insect repellent dispenser, and a battery adapted to receive power from the solar panel. The battery may facilitate activation of lights, an insect repellent dispenser, controls or indicators. Controls for activating a controller may be provided for controlling the enhanced functions. The controller may be adapted to receive power from the solar panel, a battery, or a cord connected to a plug-in outlet. The cover may include a securing device for securing the solar cover on the outdoor furniture.

Abstract: A table accessory for use with a fire pit. The table accessory may be supported by a fire pit for use as a table, for supporting a storage cover, or, when the fire pit is in use, may be moved below the fire pit for use as a heat shield. A plurality of accessory legs extend from the lower surface of the body. The terminal ends of the accessory legs are configured to be received on a top panel of the fire pit. A fire pit stand has a plurality of fire pit legs for supporting the fire pit. The fire pit legs define a fire pit leg height. The height of the table accessory is less than the fire pit leg height for facilitating locating the table accessory under the fire pit chamber of the fire pit for use of the table accessory as a heat shield.

Abstract: A heat deflector for use with a fire pit has at least one heat deflector panel, and a support structure engaged with the at least one heat deflector panel and supporting the at least one heat deflector panel in a spaced apart relationship with respect to the fire pit.
