I found this out while in college, the days of pyrotechnics galore. If it is possible to spray the copper fire pit with enough air freshener (we used lysol) as to where the lysol begins to collect in a pool, you can then light this on fire and if it burns long enough, it will begin to remove the excess dirt and grime. I had a copper change holder that was shaped like a bowl and we filled it with lysol. When the flame died out, where the lysol had been burning, the copper was lighter in color and clean. I believe this is due to the heat of the fire, not so much as the lysol itself. The heat probably evaporates the grime. hope this helps!
