Fire pits are permanent or portable containers
designed for backyard bonfires and barbecues which have become popular for entertaining and outdoor living. Fire pit designs incorporate a variety of fuel sources and are available in many
different shapes and sizes. Some fire
pit designs
burn wood or natural gas, and may be equipped to roast marshmallows or accompany you on a camping trip.

An attractive choice in fire pit designs is an in-ground, permanent fire pit. These pits start as holes dug into the ground, and then are lined with
small walls of stone
that extend above the ground. The bricks or rocks insulate the fire from the soil and block the wind. This simple design allows you to build
a basic campfire in the backyard, but also gives you a place to set a grill for a few skewers. This type of fire pit can be a focal point of a patio, with seating built in a circle surrounding the pit.
