A cast iron fire pit is a great way to add beauty to an outdoor evening. Generally, they are very portable, and therefore easier to setup and take down then an in-ground fire pit would be. Using cast iron also makes them attractive and easy to clean.

When selecting a cast iron fire pit, make sure you choose one that is the right size for your space. You want to choose a cast iron fire pit that you can easily place in the central part of your outdoor area. You want to leave enough room around the fire pit to keep it clear of buildings, plants, and other potentially flammable objects. You will also want to leave enough space around your cast iron fire pit for people to gather safely without feeling crowded.

If you plan on using your cast iron fire pit things like roasting marshmallows and hot dogs outdoors on a summer night, make sure that the materials in the fire pit and whatever materials you are burning are considered food safe. Some chemicals used to treat your fire pit, or those used in “easy light” logs may be safe to breathe, but not to eat.

Cast iron can be rested and damaged if left to sit in water for too long. Store the fire pit in a dry place when not in use. If you must leave your cast iron fire pit out in your yard, be sure to purchase a cover to help keep it dry.
