Who doesn’t love sitting around a warm, toasty campfire? It adds comfort and ambiance to a crisp evening where family members and friends gather to roast marshmallows and tell stories. A fire pit is also a great addition to your backyard, adding spice to an otherwise dull space. Many areas of the country are even able to utilize their fire pits year round, making them well worth the initial investment.
There are a lot of different types of fire pits and each has pros and cons. Do a little research before purchasing to ensure you’re getting a design to suit your needs.
Let’s take a closer look at our first type of backyard fire pits and its pros and cons.

- Affordable – Fire wood is usually pretty cheap and readily available in almost all areas
- Warmth – Real wood fires create a warm and cozy flame that is unmatched in heat and flame presence
