Outdoor fire pits are quickly becoming the gathering spot for family and friends on patios, decks and other backyard areas. They are a popular feature for many homes, apartments, camps, and a variety of other social gathering places. In addition to being a great way to stay warm and have fun, outdoor fire pits are perfect when you're looking for that feel of being around a campfire, but in the comfort of your own backyard or city deck.
Outdoor fire pits have many more uses and benefits than what you may think. When sitting around an outdoor fire pit, the quality of the interaction among friends definitely is improved. There is something about the warm glow of a fire that attracts and relaxes people. Outdoor fire pits bring a whole different atmosphere to your favorite outdoor space.
Tired of saying good-bye to your backyard in the wintertime? A well-made outdoor fire pit can turn that loss to gain. In fact, there's something special about coming together around a warm fire in the fresh air of winter.
Outdoor fire pits are not without practical uses. Cooking is one that comes readily to mind, especially as it relates to wood burning fire pits. Beyond just roasting marshmallows, some outdoor fire pits may prove very useful when the electricity is down and you can't use the range or microwave.
Portable outdoor fire pits are versatile and specifically designed for small, easily controllable campfires that you can enjoy wherever you want. At the same time, they add a luxurious element to your outdoor style.
Sitting next to my outdoor fire pit works best for me under a crisp, starry night after a hectic and stressful day. Losing myself in the mystery of the dancing flames, the crackling and popping sounds of ashes launched into the night, and the unaffected smell of burning firewood drenched in fresh, cool air, is transporting and never gets old.
Of course, this kind of experience requires the right kind of outdoor fire pit, one that enhances its setting and meets your needs and preferences.
To that end, make sure you look around, because there are many options for outdoor fire pits. They vary a lot in size, style, and function, so do your homework before buying and remember that quality matters.
What material is used to make your outdoor fire pit can influence how it works, how long it lasts, and what it will add visually to the space where it will be located. Wrought iron, aluminum, ceramic, stainless steel, copper, and cast iron are good examples of the kinds of materials used to make outdoor fire pits. Concrete, slate, and marble are used to make some beautiful custom-made portable outdoor fire pits.
Even though there is a lot of variety when it comes to the names and styles of outdoor fire pits, most fall into one of three categories in terms of the type of fuel they burn. Which one you choose, wood, propane, or natural gas, really should depend on two considerations. What are your preferences, and what is the availability of each type of fuel?
For example, natural gas and propane fire pits are an excellent choice in places where wood burning is restricted, or where wood is not easily available. Natural gas may be more convenient, unless you don't already have natural gas lines installed.
On the other hand, wood burning fire pits are very popular for a number of reasons, including fragrance, cooking, and (for many) the joy of chopping and stacking firewood and building a campfire. In other words, there are a few things you need to think through before buying your outdoor fire pit.
In terms of price, you probably can find an outdoor fire pit under $100 that looks okay. However, you may wish you hadn't jumped at the deal when you see it rusting out after a few months in the weather. Quality does matter.
Those who have the money and appreciation for hand-crafted construction and the highest quality materials can easily find custom made portable fire pits. Some marble and slate pits may cost well over $1,000.
Generally speaking, you can find quality made portable outdoor fire pits in a large variety of shapes and styles for $200 to $600. They truly are the perfect investment for people who want an affordable outdoor, low maintenance fire without the expense, space requirement, and restrictions of a solid stone outdoor fireplace structure.
In summary, portable outdoor fire pits are the perfect addition to any backyard, patio, deck or other place where people gather outdoors. They are a very effective way to bring people together in a relaxed, natural setting. With the variety of styles and prices available, there should be no problem finding just the right outdoor fire pit to enhance your favorite outdoor area.
