What to look for in a fire pit
There are lots of factors that you need to get right when buying a fire pit. Here is what you need to consider;
Design
The general outlook of the fire pit will have far-reaching outlook implications. There are some general designs ranging from round to cubic or rectangular designs. But if you want to go for more customed designs, you can talk with the manufacturer
Portability
Do you want to have the fire pit stuck in one place or do you want to be able to move it around? Well, if you want a more permanent structure, you will cough more. Portable ones are cheaper and will give you better mobility.
The kind of fuel
Is wood your primary source of fuel? Or do you want the more advanced electric or gas fuel? Well, the location and general usage will dictate your choices. Just keep in mind that electric and propane inspired fire pits are more expensive than wood-powered fire pits.
Type of materials used
Materials have a big say on the longevity of the fire pit. The most common types of material used include; copper which easily stains and rusts, cast aluminium doesn’t last easily and cast iron is the hardest but quite heavy.
