There’s nothing like sitting around a firepit, enjoying the warmth it gives off. But using a fire pit isn’t just about staying warm! Here’s why you should consider adding a fire feature to your outdoor living space:
Fire Pits Create A Cozy Ambience
Fire pits are an attractive and relaxing focal point, helping to create a cozy atmosphere for chatting and spending time with loved ones.
Fire Features Enhance Aesthetics
Most outdoor spaces are purposefully designed for a certain look or feel. At night, lit up by the soft glow of a fire, that aesthetic can change completely, enhancing it.
Extend Your Lounging Area By Adding A Fire Bowl
TV rooms, living rooms, and even home libraries are meant for lounging and relaxing. A fire bowl can become the center of an outdoor lounge space, the perfect spot to read a book, meditate, or simply lie back and look at the stars.
Cook Your Dinner Over Open Flames
Hot Dogs, S’mores, grilled cheese sandwiches, and marshmallows are just a few of the delicious meals and snacks that can be cooked over an open flame!
No other outdoor accessory creates that magical time together quite like a gathering spot around a fire pit.
Tips For Choosing The Right Fire Pit
With so many fire pit options on the market, how do you decide which one is best for your outdoor space? Here are the factors you need to consider when shopping for your next fire feature.
Fuel Source
What fuel source do you prefer?
The fuel source determines the amount of in the moment maintenance your fire feature requires. A wood-burning fire pit needs regular stoking to keep the wood lit at a constant temperature. However, propane fire pits depend on a tank to fuel its flame and can run at a constant temperature until the tank is empty.
Some people love the scent that a wood-burning fire bowl gives off and that scent simply can’t be recreated using a propane or gas option.
Portable vs Permanent
Do you want a fire pit that is easily moved from location to location? Are you interested in a fire bowl that can be easily packed away in an RV or the back of a car? Or do you want a pit that will be installed in a permanent location? Size and weight are important factors to look at when thinking about portable options.
Accessories
Accessories can make time spent around the flames even more enjoyable. Be sure to check the full line of accessories available for the fire pit of your choice.
