The Warmth of a Fire Pit

You’ll probably know from previous posts that I love a good drink in the garden. In the summer that is, I’m not very good with the cold. However, we had a party a few years ago in December. We had woodburners, patio heaters and a fire pit. It was lovely. And no one was cold, I remember happily floating around in a pink sleeveless dress all evening. Even into the early hours.

I suppose choosing a fire pit could prove a bit difficult if you don’t know what you are looking for. There’s all sorts of things to take into account such as where to put it, what is suitable for your garden and so on. Do your research and make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. After all you are going to have a pit filled with fire in your garden. Safety is key.

You want a fire pit that you and your friends can sit around when evenings get cooler after the summer. Although in the UK you might find that a fire pit is essential even in summer. Not every night is warm and sticky. If, like me, you live by the coast then a fire pit is a good idea even on summer evenings. The wind coming from the sea is often rather chilly.

You will probably be using your fire pit on cooler evenings. consider a patio fire pit, especially if you patio is the first part of your garden you step out onto from your house. Having a fire pit so near the house will mean you don’t have to travel too farm from its warmth to get things like more drinks or to answer the phone.

Another upside to having a fire pit is the cooking opportunities. Marshmallows on toasting forks are my favourite. A very social and sticky way to to get your sugar fix. There are loads of options to the type of fire pit you can get, do you want a gas fire pit? Do you want to have to source wood to fuel it?

As with any purchase like this. Do your homework.
