FIREPIT IDEAS FOR YOUR NEXT BACKYARD PARTY
Relaxing and entertaining in your backyard is one of the great things about Summer. But just because the seasons change, doesn’t mean you have to move inside. If you're looking for a way to heat up your backyard and keep your guests warm, a fire pit is a perfect solution! Fire pits are a great way to add some extra warmth and ambience to your outdoor space, and they're perfect for BBQs and gatherings with friends and family. There are a variety of different fire pit designs to choose from, so you can find the perfect one for your backyard. Fire pits can be made from a variety of metals and steel.
We spoke with Josh from landscaping and here's what he has to say about the different types of fire pits available and he'll show you how to choose the one that's right for you.
BBQ STYLE
The fire pit barbeque is a fantastic idea for someone looking for the best of both worlds. Not only will you have the warmth of a fire pit, but you can also cook some mean steaks and sausages on the grill. The Fire pit is a circular or square-shaped fire pit with two parts: the Fire bowl and the Grill. The Fire bowl is where you'll put your logs, and the Grill sits on top and allows you to cook meals.
This type of fire pit is perfect for those who like to entertain friends and family. The Fire bowl can be positioned in the midst of the party and everyone may gather around to keep warm. This fireplace woods storage model has an open base to be able to store extra wood the next time you have visitors, as well as a draw for storing fire-starting items.
CIRCULAR FIREPITS
Circular fire pits are a popular choice for many homeowners because they're simple and elegant. They come in different sizes, but typically have a diameter of between three and four feet. This size is perfect for those who want a small fire that will still provide warmth and atmosphere.
Circular fire pits are easy to set up and can be used for both cooking and heating purposes. If you're looking for an affordable and stylish option, a circular fire pit is a great choice.
FIREPLACE WITH CHIMNEY
Fireplaces are a more modern option and are perfect for those who want something different from the traditional circular pit. They come in a variety of sizes, but typically have a length of between four and six feet in length. This size makes them perfect for larger gatherings or for use as a main source of heat. Most models have a chimney inbuilt so the smoke will be lifted up and away from guests.
Just like the circular fire pits, rectangular ones are easy to set up and can be used for cooking or heating purposes. Some models include a wire rack that can be used for grilling food.
FIREPIT LOCATION & FUEL
When first looking at a fire pit or fireplace, it's important to look at the safest places to locate one. They are ideal for open spaces with ample seating areas. Fire pits should never be placed near a structure, such as your home or garage.
When deciding what wood to use in your fire pit, Josh recommends the 15kg bagged firewood. It's the perfect supply of Australian grown logs and if you sign up to our PLUS Club, you'll save a massive $5.50 on this item every single day.
