Most of the best days I’ve had ended around a campfire. Few things are as conducive to friendship as sitting around a fire, sharing food and drink with friends and family. The outdoor fire pit is probably one of our ancestors’ first inventions.
There’s no need to go caveman to recapture that ambiance and feeling though. There are dozens of outdoor fire pits on the market—wood-burning, propane, smokeless, tiki-themed, and everything in between. It can be overwhelming, so we’ve put together this guide to help you find the best fire pit for every outdoor space, whether you have a tiny patio or acres of wilderness out the back door.
Be sure to read our many other outdoor guides, including the Best Camping Tents, Best Coolers, and Best Portable Grills.
