Fire Pits with Swing Arm BBQ Racks

For anyone who wants a fire pit BBQ combo, these designs come with a swing-out grill so you can cook over the flames. They’re always a hit at family cookouts, garden parties, and any kind of outdoor entertaining. Food cooked directly over an open flame and the grill swings away when not in use.

Chimeneas

A chimenea uses a chimney design to draw smoke upwards and away from seating areas, giving you the warmth of an open fire with less smoke drift. It’s best for patios, decking, and windier gardens where a focused heat output is needed.

Fire Pit Ovens

Built for outdoor cooking, these designs enclose the fire for higher, more controllable heat, great for pizza, roasts, and slow-cooked meals.

Lightweight, packable designs for campers, small gardens, or anyone who wants to move their fire pit around. Their easy storage makes them a great idea for anyone short on space.

Fire Pit Maintenance Tips

Keep your fire pit safe, efficient, and ready for the next use with these simple upkeep steps:

• Clean regularly: Let ashes cool fully before removing them with a brush or shovel. Wipe surfaces down to prevent buildup.
• Protect against rust: Use a protective cover and store portable fire pits under shelter during wet weather. A heat-resistant sealant helps maintain the finish.
• Inspect for damage: Check the bowl, legs, and any moving parts before each use. Replace worn components promptly.
• Use the right fuel: Burn only dry, seasoned hardwood to minimise sparks and excessive smoke.
