Sugar kettles were used in 19th Century plantations where sugar cane was placed in these large iron pots and cooked down to produce sugar. The Sugar Kettle is primarily a product of the South, where large cotton and sugar plantations were located. They could withstand the heat and could produce large amounts of food for the plantation occupants. Over time, the kettles were no longer needed for cooking so other uses were found. The majority of Sugar Kettles were sent off to be melted down for the nation's war efforts during World War 2.

We were able to obtain some of these unique treasures and have them reproduced. Our customers use them for planters, water fountains, gardens, and even fire pits. However you choose to use your sugar kettle, it will enhance the beauty of your yard.

Specifications:

PondMaster Note: In order to drill a hole in the Kettle, you will need a diamond-tipped drill bit as the Kettles are about 1/2" thick. We can have that done upon request at the manufacturers as it requires about 4 hours of labor to drill a 2" Bulkhead Fitting hole.

Water Feature:

They can be set up individually or tiered for a cascading water feature. Our fountains are perfect for creating a focal point to your landscape, patio, or yard. In many cases, large commercial size fountains are often placed in town centers, large backyards, hotels and business courtyards and bring a sense of serenity that can help shield road or background noise.

Try placing water flowers, lilies, or other water plants within your water feature to liven it up. And, of course, water bubblers or sprayers always make for fun features.

Fire Pit Feature:

They are easily set up so you can start enjoying the warmth and relaxation of gathering around a glowing and crackling fire quickly. The round open design of a sugar kettle fire bowl gives you a 360 degree seating area and more area for warmth as the heat rises up along the wall of the kettle.

You can burn wood in them naturally, run a gas line to it as an igniter, or use a gas line in coordination with lava rocks, gas logs or sand. Let your imagination be your guide. Please note you requirements prior to placing your order.
