A fire pit is a structure designed for containing a fire, often used for warmth, cooking, or ambiance in outdoor settings. Typically made from materials like stone, metal, or brick, fire pits can be built-in or portable. They provide a safe way to enjoy a fire while minimizing the risk of wildfires or accidents. Fire pits are popular in backyards, parks, and camping areas, allowing people to gather around a flame for socializing or relaxation. Many fire pits are designed to burn wood, while others use propane or natural gas. Accessories like seating and cooking grates can enhance the experience.
