Cast iron fire pit BBQs: These are among some of the most affordable fire pit BBQs known for their superb heat capacity. They can absorb the fire’s heat and spread it evenly over a large surface. Make sure to check if the fire pit bbq you are buying is a cast iron fire pit as many are simply steel. Cast iron BBQ Fire Pits will be very heavy, cost more but are real lasting peices.
Chiminea fire pits: Are you seeking a flexible and portable fire pit for your BBQs? If yes, a chiminea could be just what you need. Since they’re designed to help draw air to the fire, they deliver an efficient and clean burn. Additionally, they direct the smoke upwards, away from the eyes of you and your guests.
Stone fire pits: If you need low-maintenance fire pits that look more authentic and organic than their metal counterparts, stone fire pits can fit the bill just right. However, they don’t transmit heat the way metals do (so maybe not so great for BBQing on) and are difficult to repair should they chip or crack.
Indian bowl fire pits: Inspired by authentic Indian kadai bowls, which are a cooking apparatus, Indian bowl fire pits let heat be delivered evenly out of all sides. They are strong and durable and can be a beautiful addition to your garden or patio.
Brick fire pits: These typically have a robust concrete base and use fire-safe bricks for the inner walls as they won’t crack under the heat, unlike regular bricks. More decorative bricks surround the inner walls for an aesthetic look from the outside.
Concrete fire pit BBQs: Despite being heavier than most other fire pits, these are more stable. They are ideal for making your cool evenings comfortable with a campfire or barbecue.
Fire Pit Tables: Unlike what some may think, a fire pit BBQ is different from a fire pit table. While the former is for cooking, the latter merges a patio table and a fire pit. You can only cook on a fire pit table if it is designed for that purpose and most arent. Make sure to check if its a fire pit BBQ table and it is sold with the right BBQ accessories before you buy it.
Camping Fire Pit: Yes unreal huh you can even get a fire pit to take to the campsite (check the rules on BBQs and open fires in your site or hiking location before sparking up!). These are small, lightweight little BBQ fire pits that can pack down to fit in a rucksack! Just be sure to make sure they are 100% cool before you pack away as I cooked my backpack with one!
