Best fire pits in the UK for 2023

Garden fire pits provide a cosy campfire atmosphere in any garden. They can make the focal point of a patio for big gatherings or part of a quiet, comfy nook to curl up in.

Garden fire pits can keep a party going long after sunset, or keep you snug while you relax after work. If fitted with grills, they can even be used to barbecue, toast marshmallows or cook popcorn. They’re a much greener and more economical alternative to patio heaters, too, which consume a lot of electricity or non-renewable gas.

There are many different types of fire pits out there – so many that it may begin to feel overwhelming. So we’ve rounded up the best fire pits in the UK, as well as answering the most common questions.
