Cuisinart Cleanburn Spark Guard — 20" Stainless Steel Mesh Fire Pit Screen, Open-Top Safety

The Cuisinart CHA-820 Cleanburn Spark Guard is a stainless-steel mesh spark screen that fits 20" fire pits to help contain sparks and embers while allowing easy fuel access through its open top.

If you own a Cuisinart Cleanburn fire pit or a compatible 20" diameter model, this spark guard provides a physical barrier between the open flame and nearby seating or landscaping. Built from durable stainless steel with a fine mesh pattern, it balances containment with airflow so the fire can breathe while reducing the chance of stray sparks. Assembly is required once, after which the guard simply sits on the fire pit rim for quick removal and replacement as needed.

How does this spark guard improve safety when the fire is burning?

The mesh shell catches and contains flying embers and larger sparks that can escape an uncovered fire pit, lowering the risk of accidental burns or nearby ignition. Its stainless-steel build withstands high temperatures and resists warping under normal outdoor use.

• Mesh design filters out embers while preserving visibility of the flame
• Stainless steel resists corrosion and heat discoloration
• Sits securely on a 20" diameter rim to cover the combustion area
• Reduces ember travel to nearby chairs, decks, and vegetation

Will the guard fit my Cuisinart fire pit and still allow adding wood or fuel?

The CHA-820 is sized for a 20" bottom diameter and designed specifically to work with Cuisinart COH-800 Smokeless 24" Fire Pit models and other 20" circular pits. Its open-top layout means you can add logs or fuel without fully removing the screen—convenient for refueling during use.

• Bottom diameter: 20" — fits matching rim sizes
• Top diameter: 14.5" for flame access and airflow
• Height: 5.6" to cover most standard fire bowls
• Open top supports quick fuel addition without full removal

How simple is setup and everyday use?

Initial assembly is required once to prepare the spark guard for use; after that, it’s a one-step placement on the fire pit rim. The guard is lightweight enough for regular handling but sturdy enough to remain stable while in place.

• First-use assembly: straightforward, few parts
• Daily use: place on rim — no tools needed after assembly
• Maintenance: occasional brush or rinse to remove ash buildup
• Storage: store dry to preserve stainless finish

What are the construction details and dimensions?

Constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel, the CHA-820 mixes strength with corrosion resistance for outdoor longevity. The specific dimensions make it a suitable accessory for many 20" fire bowls while offering a compact profile that doesn’t block the view or warmth of the flame.

• Material: stainless steel mesh and frame for durability
• Dimensions: 20" bottom diameter, 14.5" top diameter, 5.6" height
• Design: open-top mesh for airflow and easy refueling
• Compatibility: intended for Cuisinart COH-800 and 20" circular pits

It suits homeowners, renters with permitted outdoor fires, and anyone who entertains around a fire pit and wants to reduce flying embers without blocking the flame view.
