About Us
About Us
At PW Spark and Ember, we specialize in crafting high-quality, American-made fire pits that bring people together. Founded in Pennsylvania, we are proud to be a family-owned and operated business driven by a love of the outdoors, quality craftsmanship, and creating opportunities for people to make lasting memories.
Expert Craftsmanship
Every fire pit we create is handcrafted with precision and care. Our welding expertise ensures that each piece is built to last, combining traditional metalworking techniques with modern design sensibilities.
From the first spark to the final polish, we pour our passion into every detail, creating fire pits that are as beautiful as they are durable.
Our Journey
Our journey began with a simple mission: to create durable, well-crafted fire pits that enhance outdoor spaces. What started as a custom welding solution grew into a passion for offering fire pits that people not only love but use to connect with their family and friends. With over 10 years of professional welding experience, founder Alex Plankenhorn has been designing and fabricating products that reflect a commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
Everything we do is rooted in our belief that “whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.” This spirit of integrity and care is at the core of how we run our business. As a family, we value personal connections and treating our customers like one of our own. That’s why we encourage you to reach out anytime—because we genuinely want to learn about your vision and help create a product that fits your life.
Quality & Materials
We understand that a fire pit isn’t a necessity—it’s an experience. That’s why we go to great lengths to make sure every fire pit is thoughtfully designed and built to last. Using 100% American steel sourced from local Pennsylvania steel service centers and specialty steel mills in the Midwest, we prioritize quality and durability. Each fire pit is heavy-duty and made for years of enjoyment, no matter the environment.
Custom Options
Whether you’re looking for a standard design or a fully customized centerpiece, we offer unique options to fit your space. Choose between square or round models, accessorize with features like our 360-degree grill grate, or personalize elements like handles and heat-resistant paint. Whatever your needs, we work with you to ensure your fire pit is as special as the memories you’ll make around it.
At PW Spark and Ember, we believe the best moments in life happen around a fire.
That’s why we’re dedicated to helping you create a space where those moments can happen. From our family to yours, we’re excited to be part of your story.
