Outdoor Fire Pits - What's Available

Outdoor fire pit - Serving as a barbaque and heater, outdoor fire pits are well worth the money for entertaining outdoors! Why? Because they provide a safe way to contain a blazing fire and they can also raise the ambient temperature 10 to 20 degrees: A great choice for radiating heat and warmth.

If you are looking to buy a fire pit there are several types available to buy. Take a look below and review your options. Prices range from about $140 and upwards depending upon factors such as size, brand, material and whether you're buying a wood or a gas one.

If you buy a wood burning fire pit, you get to enjoy the smells and sound of a crackling fire and enjoy the campfire experience. Also, many are lightweight and very portable. If you buy a gas pit, the nice thing is that you can create an instant fire without mess or need for wood. It is also a safer choice if you have any fire hazard issues and if you live in an urban area where "spare the air days" means a ban on wood burning. With a gas fire pit you'd be good to go.

Wood Fire Pit - Bowl Size Matters:
