The best fire pits serve as a social centerpiece on long spring and summer days and evenings, as well as on chilly nights in the fall in winter.
Fire pits encourage us to be outside with those we enjoy spending time with most. They establish a space for us to put down our phones and socialize. Many of the best fire pits also allow us to eat some pretty dang good food too. There’s nothing better than smores and hotdogs over an open flame—just to be clear, those foods are exclusive, don’t eat them together.

Stahl Firepit Steel Patio Firepit
A mix between minimalist and brutalist, this fire pit looks like it would belong in a movie like Blade Runner. Made by Stahl in Portland, OR, this fire pit is cut with A36 hot-rolled steel, a type of steel that stays incredibly strong for years. The steel is also intentionally non-powder coated and void of any artificial treatments. Not only will it save you from breathing in anything you might not want to, but it will also make the steel age naturally, giving it a cool worn look over time. It measures 8 x 20 x 20 inches.

The Sunnydaze fire pit does great double duty as a BBQ grill. We like its rectangular design, as it makes it easier to cook food like hotdogs without sitting directly above the flames. Included with the fire pit is the grill grate, a spark screen, a fireplace poker, and a waterproof cover. The fuel type is wood and it measures 36 x 27 x 25 inches. It does weigh 30 pounds, but once you have the fire pit set up it will be nice knowing it will be less likely to get knocked over.
