Fire Pits

How to Choose a Fire Pit — Buying Guide

The fire pits here range from clean-burning backyard centerpieces to heavy steel models with cooking surfaces that grill as well as they warm. Choosing between them comes down to fuel, whether you want to cook, and how much space and clearance you have.

Wood gives you the real-fire experience and cooking heat; propane gives you instant, controllable flame with no ash or sparks. Both are well represented in this collection.

  • Decide fuel first: wood for ambiance and cooking, propane for convenience, cleanliness, and use during some burn restrictions.
  • Cooking models add a flat griddle or plancha rim around the fire — check the cooking surface diameter against how you actually grill.
  • Size the pit to your space: heat radius grows with fire size, and every model needs clearance from structures, decking, and overhangs.
  • Heavy-gauge steel and corten-style finishes weather outdoors for years; thin decorative pits are seasonal by comparison.
  • Check local rules before your first burn: HOAs and municipalities sometimes restrict wood burning or open flames on decks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook on a fire pit?

On models built for it, yes — pits with a flat steel rim or griddle surface cook like a plancha, searing steaks, vegetables, and breakfast foods over real fire. Models without a cooking surface are for warmth and ambiance only, unless you add a grate rated for the pit.

Should I choose a wood or propane fire pit?

Wood delivers the full campfire experience and the heat and coals for cooking, at the cost of ash, smoke, and storage for firewood. Propane lights instantly, adjusts with a knob, makes no ash or sparks, and is the practical pick for decks and burn-restricted areas.

Where can I place a fire pit?

On a level, non-combustible surface with generous clearance from your house, fences, furniture, and anything overhead. Follow the clearances on the product page and your local fire code, and never use a wood pit under a covered patio unless it is specifically rated for it.
