Fire Pits

Wood burning iron bowls, fire pit BBQ grills, 2-in-1, 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 tables with ice buckets, plus a 5-piece tool set. Sizes run from a compact 56cm bowl through to an 82cm BBQ grill, and most models burn wood or charcoal.

How to choose a fire pit for your backyard

Start with how you actually use the backyard. Want somewhere warm to sit on cool nights? A plain iron bowl is the simplest answer. If you also want to cook, look at the fire pit BBQ grills with a grill plate on top. And if you entertain often and want one piece of furniture doing several jobs, a multi-function table makes more sense than a standalone bowl.

Then match the diameter to your group size and the space you have. Smaller patios suit a compact outdoor fire pit around 56cm. Larger lawns handle an 80cm plus bowl comfortably. Have a look through the outdoor furniture and firepits range if you want to see seating and firepits together.

Fire pit bowls

A plain bowl is the simplest format. Open fire, no grill, easy to light and easy to pack away. The 56cm iron rustic bowl suits small patios and courtyards where you want warmth without taking over the space. The 80cm iron bowl works better for larger gatherings, with an extra-deep well that holds more wood and contains sparks. Both develop a natural patina over time, which is expected with iron, not a fault.

Fire pit BBQ grills

The 2-in-1 fire pit BBQ grills in 76cm and 82cm sit around a fire first, then convert to a grill when you want to cook. The deep bowl portable model includes a 45cm grill, a spark-proof mesh lid (a wire cover that stops embers escaping) and foldable handles for packing down. The cast iron portable camping stove runs on wood or charcoal with adjustable pot supports and a 40 to 60 minute burn per load. For grill-only cooking without the fire pit function, see our dedicated BBQ range.

Fire pit tables with ice buckets

The 2-in-1 fire pit table combines a fire pit with a BBQ in a single frame. The 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 fire pit tables also offer an ice-bucket function. Follow the individual model’s instructions when switching between fire pit, BBQ and ice-bucket use. The tables use powder-coated steel frames. The 2-in-1 model has an embossed stone-pattern surround, while the 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 models feature ceramic-tile tops. These suit entertainers who want one piece of outdoor furniture to do several jobs. The trade-off is honest. Multi-function tables give you versatility rather than depth in any single function. Pair with matching outdoor chairs to seat around the table.

Fire pit tools and lids

The 5-piece fire pit tool set includes a brush, poker, shovel and clipper on a stand. You'll want a tool set if you're regularly tending wood fires, adjusting logs or clearing ash. You can skip it if you mostly use a charcoal BBQ grill. Mesh lids and fire pickers add a safety layer when you've got children or pets around. For cooking accessories, our BBQ tools cover tongs, spatulas and brushes.

Fire pit sizes explained

Compact (around 56cm): Suits 2 to 4 people, small patios, courtyards and townhouse backyards. Easy to move, which makes it a practical portable fire pit for weekends away.

Medium (around 76cm): Suits 4 to 6 people in an average suburban backyard. Enough bowl space to cook on without dominating the lawn.

Large (80 to 82cm and up): Suits 6 or more people. A large fire pit at this size works well for bigger gatherings and gives you a usable cooking surface on the BBQ grill models.

FAQs

Is it legal to have a fire pit in my backyard in Australia?

Rules vary by council and change during declared fire danger periods or total fire bans. Check your local council website before lighting, and watch state fire authority alerts in summer. This is general information, not legal advice. Your council is the source of truth for your address.

What wood is best for a fire pit?

Use seasoned (dried) hardwood such as redgum, ironbark or box. Dry hardwood burns hotter, cleaner and longer than softwood or green wood, with less smoke. Avoid treated timber, pallets, painted wood and construction offcuts, since these can release harmful fumes.

How far should a fire pit be from the house?

A common guideline is at least 3 metres from the house, fences, sheds, pergolas and overhanging branches. Give yourself more clearance on windy days. Keep a bucket of water, a garden hose or sand within reach, and never leave a lit fire pit unattended.

Can you put a fire pit on grass?

Open flames and radiant heat will scorch or kill grass underneath. Use a paver, heat mat or bed of sand to protect the lawn, and raise the bowl on legs if the model supports it. On decking, add a non-combustible base and check your deck material can handle the heat.

How do you put out a fire pit safely?

Let the wood burn down to ash where possible, then spread the embers with a poker so they cool faster. Pour water slowly over the ashes, stir, then pour again until there is no steam or hissing. Only empty cold ash into a metal bin, never straight into garden waste.

Do you deliver fire pits across Australia?

Yes. Many fire pits dispatch from our Melbourne distribution centre, and some ship directly from partner warehouses, which affects delivery times. Free shipping applies to Australian orders over AUD 200, with exclusions for some bulky and partner-warehouse items. Check the product page for the latest delivery estimate.
