A portable wood-burning fire pit will fit anywhere in your backyard

With fall fast approaching it's time to consider those frosty October and November evenings, when a warm fire in the backyard seems like the best thing since sliced bread. While gas burning fire pits are currently quite popular due to their cleanliness and easy ownership, sometimes an old-fashioned fire of burning logs is required. The cooking of s'mores, hot dogs and more, along with the larger amount of heat to warm your guests, ensure wood burning fire pits will continue to be attractive to all homeowners. While we have examined wood burning and gas fire pits before (read the Liquid Propane & Wood Burning blog here), for this blog we will focus on the strengths and drawbacks of each type, and quickly review fire pits from Dagan Industries.

Custom fire pit projects for burning logs do exist, but can be costly and time consuming when compared to a smaller wood burning fire pit. These complicated models may require you to hire someone to help with installing a natural gas line, preparing the area for the fire pit or putting together the fire pit's stones, tile, stucco and other materials. While these fire pit projects (view Family Leisure Fire Pit Projects here) are great additions to any home, providing solid focal points for outdoor rooms and spaces, there are drawbacks.

They are semi-permanent additions to your home and typically cannot be moved without the help of crew. So be sure you consider the space you are adding a fire pit made of stone, stucco or tile; it will be difficult to remove, so keep this in mind. Also, with this semi-permanent nature, these fire pits will take up space that cannot be utilized during warm weather; nobody likes to gather around a fire when it's warm outside. Just be sure you consider carefully where you are placing your new fire pit, and how it will be used by your family.

Another popular option for homeowners is gas burning fire pits and fire pit tables. Both of these types burn natural gas, and are more aesthetic in nature than a traditional stone or metal fire pit. They are designed to provide a wonderful focal point, a great look, but hardly anything else. They can warm up a small crowd, but will struggle if the group is larger. And while the fire pit tables offer the ability to move around for the perfect placement, they still burn natural gas or liquid propane, and many people do not enjoy cooking hot dogs and other fire pit foods over these fuel sources. If these features sound attractive to you, Family Leisure does offer fire pit tables for sale; view Fire Pit Tables from Family Leisure here.

Do you require a backyard fire where the fuel source is wood, not natural gas, so you can cook hot dogs and s'mores? Do you already own a gas fire pit table or grill island, but have another space outside where you could use a wood burning fire pit? Do you wish for a portable fire pit that you can move into storage during the warmer months? Are you searching for an economic alternative to the massive stone and tile fire pits? Do you just enjoy the old-school sights, smells, sounds and smoke of a wood burning fire pit? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a wood burning fire pit is for you.
