There is one question that has preoccupied my mind for quite some time, and that is; what is the best patio fire pit to use? I had been intending to build my own patio fireplace for quite a long time, and when I was invited to a garden party by my wife, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. My friends were really into gardening, and so I decided to join in with them. My first impulse was to tell my wife that I would definitely build her a patio fire pit, and she was not too pleased with me at first.
You see, there are many things to keep in mind when you decide to make a garden party at your next get together. First of all, your lawn needs to be properly tended to, and it takes a lot of hard work to do that. Secondly, your garden furniture needs to be protected from the heat of the sun, which could cause the life of your patio fire pit to be shortened. It also takes quite a bit of patience and work to build a patio fire pit and then maintain it properly.
So my wife asked me what is the best patio fire pit to use? I thought about it for a while and then came up with a plan. I contacted some landscapers in town and asked them if they had any recommendations. The two of them suggested that we buy a brick patio fire pit. What is great with this type of product is that they usually come with stakes to set it on, and then there are iron inserts that can be put right in to give the impression that it is built straight out of the ground.
The biggest problem is that you have to clean up the ashes once in awhile. You can’t just throw it in the trash, because the ash is not going to simply move to the next dumpster. So the best way to keep your patio fire pit clean, and smelling fresh is to rake it every so often with a shovel.
One thing I learned is that it helps to rake your patio fire pit before you actually begin using it. This will help move any loose debris off of it. This will also help prevent any accidental trips over the fire, since it will be clean. The best way to do this is to have a rake, or something else that will dig.
When you buy a patio fire pit, you will also have to purchase some utensils. This includes a poker. Why a poker? It is because patio fire pits usually have things like marshmallows or hot dogs on them. If you hold them like a hot dog, then the marshmallows or hot dog will burn down, and you won’t be able to get them out. And if you hold them like a poker, the poker will soak up all of the juices and stay hot.
Some of the other things you will want to include in your patio fire pit supplies are a shovel and a broom. You don’t want to spend too much time cleaning up the ash when you are using your patio fire pit, so you will want to use the broom. And make sure to use it often. rake the ash and make sure it does not overflow into the other containers.
One of the most important things to remember is that your patio fire pit does not have to look like it is made from cast iron. You can find many beautiful sets and even plastic patio fire pits. They are very classy and stylish, and will really add to the ambiance of your patio. If you do your research, then you will find the perfect set for you.
