Choosing an outdoor fire pit
- Wood or propane: wood gives you the crackle and smell of a real campfire. A propane fire table lights in seconds, leaves no ash and doubles as a coffee table.
- Chimney or open bowl: a chimney-style pit sends smoke upward, while an open bowl lets more people gather around the flames.
- Accessories: a spark screen, lid, poker or grill grate adds safety and versatility. A covered log rack keeps firewood dry.
- Placement: set the pit on a non-combustible surface, away from walls, branches and overhangs, and check your municipality's open-fire bylaw before the first burn.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put a wood-burning fire pit on a wooden deck?
Not directly on the boards. Use a non-combustible base such as concrete pavers or a fireproof mat, and keep a bucket of water or an extinguisher nearby.
How do I store an outdoor fire pit for winter?
Empty the cold ashes, let the pit dry completely, then cover it or move it under shelter. A lid stops rain and snow from pooling in the bowl and slows rust.
