How to Build Outdoor Metal Fire Pits


An outdoor metal fire pit can be a fantastic addition to anyone's backyard. When the weather begins to get cold fire pits can be terrific places to enjoy quiet conversations. And a fire pit can be just the place you look forward to getting away to after a hard day at work.


3. The next logical step is of course the construction with a toasted marshmallow is a smore. Some flat chocolate bars, you know the kind, graham crackers and you have one of the quintessential outdoor desserts known to mankind.* Increased accessibility for handicapped or physically challenged guests.7) No heavy equipment required.2. After a meal by using the patio fire pit everyone wants dessert. Well break out the marshmallows. Give all the kids a metal skewer with a cool handle and step back. There is not a kid from three to ninety three who hasn�t had a fun time with a fire and trying not to burn the marshmallows.* Fire pits can be easily relocated, as this product is modular.1. While most patio fire pits come with a grill, who needs one to do up some hot dogs? What a fantastic summer time meal. A package of dogs, a package of bins and chips equals an instant meal. Throw in a few carrot sticks or other raw veggies and you have a decent meal.

While any fruit wood, apple, orange, pear wood is great pecan, hickory or mesquite would do quite well. Soak the chips for a while in a bucket of water. Throw them on right before putting on the steak and let the smoke begin. A trick I picked up on a while back is to finds an old pot or pan lid that you can cover the meat while it is cooking. This will circulate the smoke around the meat while it is cooking. This will help to intensify the smoke flavor while using a patio fire pit.
