Frequently Asked Questions About Nürburgring Licensed Products Made of Corten Steel

Gartenmetall’s Nürburgring licensed product line includes two fire baskets and a decorative stele. Available items include the NÜRBURGRING “BURG” fire basket, the NÜRBURGRING “GRÜNEHÖLLE” fire basket, and the CORA “NÜRBURGRING” decorative stele. The fire baskets feature various Nürburgring motifs; the stele displays the official racetrack logo with two checkered flags.
The main difference lies in the design. The “BURG” fire basket features the “Nürburg” design, while the “GRÜNEHÖLLE” model features the “Grüne Hölle” lettering. The material, exterior dimensions, and square shape are the same for both models.
All three Nürburgring licensed products are manufactured from Corten steel, grade S355J2W+N, with material number 1.8965. The visible surfaces are delivered by Gartenmetall with a pre-aged rust finish. Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel that, when exposed to suitable weather conditions, develops a characteristic patina of noble rust with a protective barrier layer.
Both the “BURG” fire basket and the “GRÜNEHÖLLE” fire basket are 740 mm high, 345 mm wide, and 345 mm deep. Both fire baskets therefore have a square cross-section.
Yes. Gartenmetall offers a grill grate as a paid option for both Nürburgring fire baskets. According to the technical product information, the compatible grill grate measures 350 × 350 mm, is made of stainless steel, and is positioned on top of the fire basket via four legs. The grill grate is not included in the standard package and must be ordered separately.
Gartenmetall recommends using a coaster when placing the fire baskets on patio slabs. A matching stainless steel coaster is available as an accessory for both Nürburgring fire baskets. It specifically reduces the risk of rust stains on the surface; at the same time, the fire basket must be placed on a suitable, level, and fire-resistant surface.
A fire pit must be placed on a level, fire-resistant surface and operated at a sufficient distance from buildings and other flammable materials. Open fires must not be left unattended. Gartenmetall also advises against using flammable liquids such as rubbing alcohol and recommends extinguishing the fire in the event of heavy sparks or strong winds. Appropriate fire extinguishing agents should be kept within easy reach.
Although the visible surfaces of Nürburgring products are delivered with a pre-aged appearance, the Corten steel patina continues to develop when exposed to the elements. According to Gartenmetall, the formation of the typical surface begins after about two to three weeks and is not fully complete until approximately one and a half to three years have passed. The key factor is the alternation between wet and dry weather. As a result, the color and appearance may change noticeably during this time.
The CORA “NÜRBURGRING” decorative stele is 1.380 mm high, 300 mm wide, and 15 mm deep. It has a C-shaped edge and is inserted about 200 mm deep into the ground for installation. This makes it structurally quite different from the two fire baskets and allows it to serve as a standalone design element featuring the Nürburgring motif.
For the two fire baskets and the Nürburgring-themed stele, Gartenmetall-Shop currently lists a delivery time of 7 to 14 days; the products are manufactured to order. For shipments within Germany, packaging and shipping costs are included in the listed price, according to the product pages. The delivery time shown on the respective product page at the time of order is authoritative.
