Why Use Granite For Your Fire Pit
There are plenty of options when it comes to fire pit materials; however, stone is both a stunning and durable choice. Although brick and concrete often appear in fire pits, they may be less adequate than granite. Granite is not only beautiful, but it will withstand the freeze-thaw cycle. In addition, it is very low maintenance. Granite will allow you to have a lavish fire pit that can last a lifetime.
Fire Pit Styles

There are endless designs for a classic fire pit. They are not limited to a specific shape or size. they could be round, square, or even a more intricate shape, such as a hexagon.

Table
This serves as a two in one option. A fіrе pit table іѕ just like а patio table, but it contains a bowl fоr a fіrе іn its center. Fire pit tables are highly functional and have the ability to give you a whole new element in entertaining company. They allow you and your guests to comfortably sit around the fire, while you have plenty of space for plates, drinks, and even games.

Fire pit tables are ideal for hosting outdoor gatherings!
In-Ground
This is what it sounds like it is: a pit submerged in the ground, as opposed to built above ground. In-ground fire pits can be simple, or complex. They may merely be a hole in the ground containing a fire, or they can be built into a patio, adorned with elegant stone.
Wood Burning
A wood burning model utilizes either wood, оr artificial logs. They provide the classic feel of a campfire, accompanied by the naturalistic look. Some models even come with cooking grills built in for convenient barbecuing. However, you can always purchase a grill yourself if you decide that you want one down the line. With this model, you can make and enjoy your meal without even having to move. A wood burning fire pit is a way to feel like you are out in the wilderness, but we would not consider this, “roughing it.”
