Gather friends and family (at a safe distance) under the night sky and enjoy the warmth of this wildlife-themed, wood-burning, outdoor fire pit. The flames inside the steel drum make the cutouts flicker, and the pit even comes with a handy cooking grate.
No firewood on hand? No problem. This propane-powered, outdoor fire pit is entry-level outdoorsy. The push-button ignition fires it up in seconds. We also like its stone top, which serves as an aesthetic complement to the gritty lava rocks.
Even if your camper is fully loaded with all of the best gear for your next outdoor adventure, you should still have just enough space to fit this pop-up fire pit, too. It folds down to the size of a camping chair and only weighs 8 pounds.
This outdoor fire pit works with wood, charcoal, or pellets, and it's equipped with a heat shield at the base of its drum to protect the ground underneath from being scorched. Reviewers also love how its innovative stainless steel design provides exceptional airflow, burning the materials cleanly without creating an excess of smoke.
This wood-burning chiminea design is a more style-forward choice for the outdoor lounge area. Because of its semi-contained form, this type of outdoor fire pit retains much more heat, making it a good choice for regions that tend to get very cold at night.
The elongated, cast-iron silhouette also helps draw smoke upward, instead of it billowing toward you.
For the DIYers who are on the lookout for their next project, build your own backyard gathering spot with this outdoor fire pit kit.
Available in three different natural stone colors, it comes complete with everything you need to get the job done in an afternoon. No special masonry know-how is required.
