The 12 Best Fire Pits For The Perfect Outdoor Setup

We’ve previously talked a lot about fire pits in general and how you can organize them and make it more comfortable and inviting. What we didn’t really focus on until now is the actual fire pit. Yes, the seating and the decor are important but everything ultimately revolves around the pit which sits at the center of this entire setup. Before anything else, it’s important to make a distinction between the four main types you can choose from: wood-burning, gel fuel, propane fire and natural gas fire pits.

The wood-burning kind give you that authentic campfire-like experience which you can’t really recreate through other means. They’re usually made of steel and some in a variety of different styles and sizes. The size of the bowl dictates how big the fire can get so keep that in mind and choose a fire pit that suits your space. Gel fuel fire pits don’t give off any smoke but they also don’t give that burnt wood smell which some actually enjoy.

They also don’t give off as much heat as the other types. They have reservoirs which need to be constantly replenished with gel fuel. In comparison, propane fire pits don’t need to be refilled as they use propane tanks. They’re also usually larger than the other previously mentioned types. The flame rises from beneath pebbles or faux wood. Natural gas fire pits are similar to the propane ones but need a permanent connection to a natural gas line.
