Wood-Burning Fire Pits for Your Patio
There is nothing like the smell and warmth of a wood-burning fire pit to sit around on a crisp evening. Here are 12 eye-catching wood-burning fire pits to build your outdoor seating area around. These pits allow you to safely enjoy a controlled fire near your party. Using firewood or fire logs, they do not require propane or other fuels. Install one of these in your sitting area and enjoy dancing flames and warming heat.
1.) Seabridge Steel Fire Pit
The Seabridge is a sleek and modern wood-burning fire pit fashioned out of heat-resistant magnesium oxide steel. It borrows from the vessel-style sink vanities popular in home design with its 19 3/4″ round black bowl. The entire unit measures 14 1/4″ x 25 1/4″ and stands 20 1/8″ tall. The base comes in a choice of dark granite or gray cement finishes.
2.) Nyora Cast Iron and Steel Chiminea

Hopefully this list of wood-burning fire pits gave you some inspiration for warming up your outdoor living space. While fire pits are wonderful additions to your space, please be aware of some very important safety precautions:
- Always make sure you install a fire pit on a fire-proof or fire-resistant surface. Stone or tile patios or a lawn area cleared of surrounding grass and covered with sand is best. Before installing on a wood deck make sure your fire pit is safe for use on wood surfaces.
- Open fires create hot flames, sparks and ash that can burn you or ignite surrounding material. Consider a fire pit with a screened cover for additional protection or if you regularly have windy conditions.
- Always be careful with young children (and adults!) around any open flames. Also, most fire pit exteriors will get hot with use and can burn to the touch.
