Does the inside pit or scrap off?

No it is smooth stainless steel and if something doesn't wash out, such as bean stain, I polish it with Bar Keeper's friend. My pots, I have used for many years, still look and cook like new. Corinne T.

No, it's stainless steel. There is no coating that can scrap off or flake off. Mine hasn't pitted either. I have a whole set of this cookware. It amazes me how easy it is to clean. I'm very happy with this pot.

Absolutely not. It is truly fantastic. Doesn't discolor either, as some stainless steel will.

No, I have detected a little discoloration but I have saw no pits or any metal scraping off. I have used my pot a lot but I always wipe it down with olive oil before the next use.

Yes, but the inside peeled off when I cleaned it. West Bend is replacing it but now they are on Backorder until June.

No. We've used it several times and it's been just fine. I really thought it was metal. At least inside. It may be plastic outside.

Inside has a bit of the exterior finish but the inside of my lid is a little heat marked after use. Lighter module is standard Zippo steel color. Should come with standard Zippo box.

Yes, there is a split that runs from the outer edge to the inner opening. You shouldn't need to cut anything.

No, there is nothing on the inside. They are welded on. It is a great, heavy bottom stock pan. Love it!

I'm not a metal expert, but there are no seams and the whole item appears to be made from the same material. I did a little more checking and could get a magnet to stick to the side of container, but not to the bottom or the lid. This does not mean it is not stainless. Stainless steel with a higher percentage of nickel is a higher quality stainless and will not hold a magnet. I love my container and the inside is not showing any negative effects of the compost being stored inside, so I still recommend and would buy this product again.

The interior is the same plastic as the outside. The coil at the bottom is metal.

As long as all parts are snapped together it is safe. No inside parts are exposed.

Not since this spring when first assembled. But would keep checking and have some good quality touch up paint handy. Plan on doing end of season maintenance. A great style and pit for the money. Like that fire box is higher off our wood deck than most other styles and a table top surface when not in use.

Yes, but the inside peeled off. I had to use crock pot liners. West Bend just send me a complete new one. I'm still using liners because even gentle cleaning can damage the inside.

No inside does not come out. First time I used it for a artichoke dip, when I went to wash it I discovered inside cracked and chipped.

The interior top and bottom are covered in foam rubber. There is exposed metal around the edges where the top and bottom meet, but I'm assuming once closed the safe contents are encompassed by the foam and won't shift to come in contact with the metal sides. When closed, my items don't rattle around.

No the inner lining including the bottom, is all one piece and made of aluminum. It does not bother me. I do not see how that affects the food in the inner pot. It does get dirty and stained easily which I keep clean by adding some vinegar to the water inside every now and then.

No the inside contains no metal of any kind there only the stainless steel band around the outside. Get it you won't be sorry

Yes, the top and all of the grill grates comes off. It can function as just a pit.

We've not had any problems with that but we haven't let the ashes get really deep. There is a mesh screen attached to the inside of the pit to control that behind the cut-outs. But if you were to let the ash get really deep then I expect some could sift out. We really like the pit, holds good sized logs so really glad we went with the square shape. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Used it last night actually. Hope this helps.
