Most people enjoy relaxing outside their homes next to the warmth and glow of a patio fire pit. These outdoor fireplaces are available in a variety of sizes and materials. You can build permanent fire pits on your patio, or buy a portable fire pit. Patio fire pits have several appealing factors that are attracting more people every day.

Variety

You can choose from a large selection of patio fire pits. Permanent fire pits are usually made of stone, clay or fire-resistant brick. These fire pits tend to be more elaborate and can become the focal point of your patio. Smaller, portable fire pits are also available in many different materials and shapes. They can be carried to different places around the yard, and even on camping trips. Most fire pits use either gas or wood.

Range of Use

Patio fire pits provide light, warmth, and can even be used for cooking. By placing grates or grills over your patio fire pit, you can use it as a barbecue. Fire pit cooking has several advantages. The cooked food is usually more flavorful because it has been cooked over a real fire. Also, if the fire pit is large, it can be used to cook for many people at one time.

Safety

When constructed or installed properly, fire pits are very safe to use. Permanent fire pits have walls on all sides that prevent sparks from spreading outside. You can also use wire mesh on top of a patio fire pit, for added security. Gas patio fire pits can be easily controlled with a knob.
