A fire pit is a must-have for any patio and creates unforgettable moments.
But as with many outdoor products, the question quickly arises:
- Which model is the best, and what should you look for when buying?
- Which materials are durable and easy to care for?
In this article, we answer these questions and give you valuable tips on how to choose the perfect fire pit and take proper care of it, so you can enjoy your fire experience for years to come.
Which fire pit is the best?
There are many aspects to consider when buying a fire pit: the material, the size, and also the location all play a crucial role. For the best fire experience, rust-free and smoke-free models are recommended. They feature special air inlets that optimize the combustion process and reduce smoke.
Additionally, a good fire pit should be safe, durable, and easy to clean.
Further down in the article, you'll find valuable tips on what to look for when buying a fire pit.
What should you consider when buying a fire pit?
Material: Choose stainless and heat-resistant materials such as stainless steel
Size: Consider how much space you have and how many people will regularly sit around the fire. For everyday use in small gardens or patios, fire pits with a diameter of 40 to 60 cm are ideal.
Location: Use a slightly elevated fire pit to protect the ground. Thanks to the chimney effect, NORLIVA fire pits have very low downward heat radiation and are therefore well suited for surfaces such as stone, grass, and wood.
Ventilation system: Smokeless models often have special air channels that allow for more efficient and lower-emission combustion.
Accessories: A spark guard and a matching cover are practical extras for safety and protection against the elements.
Tips for caring for your fire pit
To keep your fire pit looking good and functional for a long time, proper care is essential. Stainless steel models are especially easy to maintain since they are naturally rust-free. Cast iron fire pits, on the other hand, require a bit more attention, as they tend to rust without regular care.
Empty ashes
After each use, you should remove soot and ash—often a damp cloth is enough to clean the surface.
A particularly handy feature is an integrated ash drawer that makes it easy to dispose of residue.
Rust protection for cast iron
Cast iron fire pits should be lightly oiled after cleaning (e.g., with vegetable oil or a special cast iron care product) to prevent rust.
It’s important that they are always kept dry.
Long-term care & storage
To protect the fire pit from the elements, it is recommended to use a protective cover or a dry shelter, even for rust-free models.
If the fire pit is not used during the winter, it should be stored in a dry place or protected with a weatherproof cover.
What material is best for a fire pit?
Stainless steel fire pits are especially popular because they are not only rust-free but also easy to maintain and long-lasting. Enamel coating is particularly advantageous for fire pits that are kept outdoors year-round.
The enamel layer protects against rust and the elements, ensuring it lasts longer and is less prone to wear and discoloration. The smooth surface also makes it easy to remove dirt. In addition, the glossy coating gives the fire pit a high-quality, timeless look. Enameled fire pits are highly heat-resistant and retain their stability and good appearance even at high temperatures.
Smokeless models with an innovative air circulation system provide an enjoyable, safe, and sustainable fire experience.
Conclusion: The right fire pit for long-lasting enjoyment
A high-quality fire pit should be rust-free, smoke-free, and easy to maintain. Stainless steel and enameled models offer the best features here. Regular cleaning and weather protection will significantly extend its lifespan.
When purchasing, material, size, ventilation, and accessories are crucial to ensure the best fire experience. Those who prioritize quality can enjoy cozy evenings by the fire—without annoying smoke or rust!
