A Little Fire Pit History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When fire was discovered, it was the job of the \u201cfire watcher\u201d to be sure the fire didn\u2019t spread or go out. Archeologists have found evidence that the earliest fire pits existed 200,000 to 400,000 years ago. Fire pits were used for warmth and for cooking food. As we learned to work with metals and cooking moved above ground, the use and style of the fire pit took on new forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire Pit Styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early fire pits consisted of a hole dug in the ground. Now there are models made of metal, brick, stone and poly and styles are quite versatile. Outdoor fire pits come in all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire pits that use propane or natural gas keep things neater, eliminating wood, ash and debris.<\/p>\n\n\n

When choosing an outdoor fire pit, look for one that fits your backyard or outdoor area in style, shape and material. You\u2019ll also want to look for a fire pit that fits your plans for using it. What features are best for you? Do you want a fire pit that also functions as a table, for example?  Do you want a portable model that\u2019s easier to move around?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel options include wood, propane or natural gas. Wood burning offers an authentic \u201copen fire\u201d experience, but they are heavily regulated. Propane and natural gas are free of smoke, easy to clean, and turn on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n

Types of Materials for Fire Pits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal, stone, concrete and poly are all materials used for outdoor fire pits. Stone is heavier and not a fire pit you can move. Stone could also crack over time. Concrete is also heavier and not a portable material. Concrete can also show stains from soot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poly <\/a>has been dubbed a \u201cmiracle\u201d for outdoor use. It\u2019s made with high density polyethylene that comes from recycled plastic. In addition to its eco friendly nature, poly is easy to clean and maintain and it can weather the elements with maximum durability.<\/p>\n\n\n
