Basic Fire Pit & Fire Bowl Safety Guidelines


We have provided some basic guidelines for the safe use of fire pits, fire bowls and other fire units. These are not intended to be the only guidelines to be taken into consideration for the safe use of a fire pit, and are provided for educational purposes only. Always use good judgment when adding an outdoor fire element to your outdoor space, as well as good judgment when using it. 
  • When considering adding a fire pit or other fire element to your outdoor space, you should always consider safety first, this is the best way to ensure that your experience with your new fire pit will be as enjoyable as possible!
  • When starting a fire in your fire pit, use flammable fire starters with great care to avoid injury to yourself, others around you and to your property. Keep fire starting accessories out of the reach of children. Never leave children unattended with a fire pit or fire element.
  • Since fire pits, bowls and other fire elements stand above the ground, always be careful not to allow tipping over of the item to avoid fire hazard. 
  • Never over load your fire pit with wood; building too large of a fire in a fire pit that is not designed for such use may result in damage to you, your property and to the fire pit. Be sure to read all information about the size and use of a fire pit before selecting one, to make sure that the fire pit is appropriate for your intended use. Always read the manufacturers materials before using your fire pit for the first time to ensure optimal use.
  • Always check with your local government entities regarding compliance with local codes and ordinances.

Ideas for Winter Outdoor Entertaining with Fire Pits & Fire Bowls

Fire Pits and Fire Bowls have endless uses for year round entertaining! Focusing on the winter months, we have included a few ideas for winter uses of fire pits and fire bowls!

The most common use of fire pits during winter is for heating of the surrounding area, as fire pits and fire bowls provide radiant heat to gather around, and of course, you can roast marshmallows and hotdogs, or whatever you wish was well!


Sledding Parties:
Nothing feels better after a run down the sled hill than a quick warm up beside a fire bowl before going back up for more fun! You can keep a kettle full of warm water available at all times by adding a grill to your fire pit or bowl to place the kettle on. This way you can serve hot cocoa, tea and/or coffee to your family and friends as they come by to warm up. This warm outdoor retreat from the cold is sure to be a frequented spot next to the sled run. Parents can sit around the fire bowl, chat and watch kids play, while staying warm!



Ice Fishing:
Portable fire pits and fire bowls are perfect for keeping warm around the fishing hole! As long as you are sure to place a firepad under the fire bowl or pit, you can enjoy hours of radiant heat and endless cups of hot cocoa, tea and/or coffee, as well as grilled foods, giving you a better chance of sticking around long enough to catch your limit! You can also grill your fish over the fire with the use of some aluminum foil and a few herbs, salt and pepper.





Tailgate Parties:
You'll be the most popular party in the parking lot with your fire pit or fire bowl! Keep water hot for cocoa or tea, and grill foods for your friends and family for an excellent tailgating experience. *Be sure to check local laws and regulations regarding use of fire pits and fire bowls.
Of course, fire pits and fire bowls are perfect for use on your patio, deck or lawn during the winter months, providing heating and cooking capabilities, as well as a stunning, fiery focal point for your outdoor space!

Fire Pit Accessories Information

Fire pit accessories include wood grates, to provide a breathable platform to elevate wood while burning for better air flow to the fire, fire pokers for tending the fire, and spark guards to protect surrounding areas from burning due to stray sparks. Fire pit grills are also available to allow for cooking over the fire.

Fire Pit pads should be used under fire components that are placed on decks or wood patios to protect the wood beneath from potentially catching on fire, as well as preventing warping, cracking and discoloring of the wood from excessive heat.

Support Small Business in America-Express your opposition to Proposed Internet Sales Tax Laws

For many years, large national retailers and many state tax collectors have hoped for new Internet sales tax collection policy. They want Congress to pass a federal law that would allow tax agents from one state to enforce their sales tax laws on retailers based in other states, even when a business is based thousands of miles away. eBay Inc. opposes this misguided idea, and believes that small businesses selling via the Internet should only be subject to the tax laws of the states in which they operate.

The news from Capitol Hill is clear. Internet sales tax supporters are convinced that 2013 is their year, and they are determined to pass a new Internet sales tax bill when Congress tackles "corporate tax reform." In December, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the sponsor of Internet sales tax legislation, publicly announced that he had a commitment from the Senate Finance Committee to "take it up early next year and move it to the floor."

Your opinion matters. If you oppose giving state tax collectors new powers to impose and enforce out-of-state sales tax burdens on small businesses that sell via the Internet, now is the time to make your voice heard.
Click here to send an email to your Members of Congress and express your opposition to state tax collectors imposing unfair tax burdens on small businesses.

Choosing Your Fire Pit-Versatile, Functional Outdoor Decor

Fire pits are versatile,  functional outdoor decor, and aside from the aspect of providing a fiery focal point for entertaining, they can also be used for heating your patio, deck or surrounding area of the pit, as well as for cooking foods.

When choosing a fire pit, or fire component, you should take into consideration what you may want to use the fire pit for. While all fire pit styles are excellent for entertaining, certain styles and designs work better for certain purposes.

The large steel fire domes are the perfect fire element for sophisticated outdoor entertaining, with their stunning beauty they are also effective in heating the surrounding outdoor space and accommodate marshmallow roasting as well.

Table fire pits are a great choice for entertaining as well as casual use, as they can be used as a table when the fire bowl is not in use, and also provide a flat surrounding surface on which drinks or plates can be placed when a fire is burning. These fire pits are convenient for cooking quickly grilled foods, however most do not provide much heat and are not well suited for BBQ’s or for grilling foods that require long cook times.

If you would like a fire component that will be an attractive entertaining focal point, provide heat, and have the ability to grill any foods you like, steel, bronze or wrought iron fire bowls are your generally your best bet.

When heating your outdoor space is your main goal and you want a beautiful, decorative addition to your patio, deck or lawn without an open fire, a chiminea may be the right choice for you. These fire components are effective outdoor heating, without the use of an open fire, while adding a touch of old world style to any area. Patio fireplaces also fit meet the requirements for these uses as well, providing effective 365 degree heating for the surrounding outdoor space with an enclosed lantern, firehouse or pagoda patio fireplace design.

Regardless of the design or style you choose, your patio, deck or lawn will be exquisitely enhanced with the element of fire. Add a friendly, inviting feel, to your outdoor space with the perfect stunning focal point!

Materials Used to Make Fire Pits, Fire Bowls and other Outdoor Fire Elements

Fire pits are made from a variety of metals such as copper, bronze, sculptural grade steel, stainless steel, cast iron and wrought iron. Some fire pits are machine pressed into the shape of a bowl, often the case with copper or aluminum fire bowls, as well as stainless steel fire bowls. Sculptural grade steel is generally used for larger fire pits or fire domes and are hand crafted by welding steel pieces together into a bowl or dome shape. These steel fire bowls and domes are adorned with a decorative pattern, created by the artisan with the use of a plasma cutter to remove the sections of the metal to create openings. These patterns are not just created for aesthetic reasons, although the results do yield a stunning work of art; the patterns enable air to reach the fire within the dome, as well as enable heat to escape from the sides for a warming effect on the surrounding area. Wrought iron fire bowls are often covered in a decorative bronze or copper finish that is applied by artisans with an old world method of hand hammering the chosen material onto the wrought iron form. Fire pit tables usually have a design around the edge and are also available with decorative tile or slate surrounds around the fire bowl.
