Shop Affordable Fire Pits

Our Fire Pits collection offers a versatile range of cheap fire pits suited to Australian backyards, patios and outdoor entertaining areas. Shoppers typically compare size, material, portability and heat output to find the right design. Enhance your outdoor space with additional heating from patio heaters or explore matching options in outdoor heating. Customers often praise the great value for money and quick delivery, making it simple to choose cheap fire pits with confidence.

Choosing the Best Fire Pit for Your Outdoor Space

When selecting a fire pit, start by considering the size of your area, how many people you usually entertain and the type of ambience you want to create. Steel and cast iron designs offer strong heat retention and durability, while lighter portable styles are ideal for camping or small patios. If you enjoy outdoor entertaining throughout the year, you can pair your fire pit with additional warmth from our heaters collection for more controlled indoor–outdoor comfort.

Features That Improve Safety and Performance

A good fire pit should balance safety with functionality. Look for sturdy legs or bases, protective spark guards and deep bowl designs that help contain flames. Wide rims make cooking or marshmallow roasting easier, while removable ash trays simplify clean up. To keep the surrounding area more comfortable on warmer days, you can support airflow with options from our fans range to help disperse smoke and increase ventilation.

Key considerations include:

  • Material strength and heat retention

  • Portability and weight

  • Fire bowl depth and shape

  • Safety shields and mesh guards

  • Ease of maintenance and ash removal

  • Compatibility with cooking accessories

Creating a Year–Round Outdoor Setting

Fire pits are ideal for creating a warm focal point during cooler evenings, but they also pair well with broader outdoor entertainment setups. If you enjoy low and slow cooking, consider adding flavour with complementary appliances such as BBQ smokers for long weekend meals. For those wanting a complete seasonal approach, cooling or air quality products found in our heating, cooling and air quality collection can help maintain a comfortable atmosphere in both open and semi–enclosed spaces.

How Do I Choose the Right Fire Pit?

Selecting the right fire pit for your outdoor area requires considering the size and style of your space. Measure your outdoor area to ensure the fire pit fits comfortably and safely, ideally with no objects or furniture within a one-metre radius. Choose between wood-burning for a classic feel or charcoal for less smoke. Our fire pit material options come in metal or stone, with a range of aesthetic styles to complement and enhance your outdoor décor. 


Our portable fire pits and BBQs offer flexibility, so you can cook or relax around the fire anywhere in the garden, with certain safety measures built into the fire pit’s design. The right fire pit for you will come down to size, function, style, material and whether you want it to be portable or not. 


For all these features, look no further than our outdoor fire pit collection. 

What Do I Need to Consider When Buying a Fire Pit?

When buying a fire pit for your patio or garden, consider size and space to ensure it fits comfortably and safely. 


Next, you can choose a fuel type: wood-burning for a natural ambience or charcoal for a slow and cleaner burn, though it will cost more to run. Select materials like metal or stone to better align with your outdoor aesthetics and durability needs. Is your fire pit exposed to the rain? If so, then stone may be better than metal.


Lastly, think about maintenance requirements and additional accessories like outdoor furniture covers to protect your fire pit for years to come. 

How to Light a Fire Pit?

The best and safest way to light a fire pit involves using a fire starter or kindling and avoiding flammable liquids like gasoline. Make sure to clear the area of any debris and ensure the pit is on a non-flammable surface. If you are on a wooden patio, make sure it is a fire pit designed for patios. 

 

Place kindling or the fire starter material at the bottom of the fire pit, then stack small, dry wood pieces in a teepee shape, allowing sufficient airflow. 

Light the kindling with a long match or lighter, gradually adding larger pieces of wood as the fire grows. Always have a water source or fire extinguisher nearby for safety reasons. It's crucial to monitor the fire at all times and make sure children and pets are kept at a safe distance. 

Can I Have a Fire Pit in My Backyard?

Of course, as long as you have the space and permission from the local housing council (if required). 


Having a fire pit in your own backyard also comes with a range of benefits to you and the family: 

Enhanced Outdoor Cooking Experience

A fire pit provides a unique and enjoyable way to cook outdoors. It allows for traditional cooking methods like grilling and roasting, offering a distinct smoky flavour to foods that can't be replicated with standard home kitchen appliances. 


It's perfect for social gatherings, where guests can participate in the cooking process, grilling up a storm and creating a fun place to eat and socialise. 

Ambience and Aesthetic Appeal

Fire pits create a cosy, inviting atmosphere in your backyard. The warm glow of the fire adds a charming ambience, perfect for relaxing evenings. It also serves as a focal point for outdoor décor, elevating the aesthetic appeal of your garden or patio area.

Year-Round Outdoor Enjoyment

A fire pit extends the usability of your outdoor space throughout the year. During cooler months, the warmth of the fire makes it comfortable to spend time outside, allowing you to enjoy your backyard regardless of the season. 


This creates more opportunities for outdoor entertainment and relaxation all year round, allowing you to make the most of your outdoor living space.

Can I Have a Fire Pit on Concrete?

Having a fire pit on concrete is generally safe, but precautions are necessary. Ensure the concrete is sealed and not prone to cracking from high heat. Always monitor the fire and have safety equipment nearby for emergencies.

Can I Have a Fire Pit on Grass?

Using a fire pit directly on grass requires extra attention, as it may damage the lawn and pose a fire hazard. For our portable BBQs, the legs are long enough to create a suitable distance but ensure the surrounding area is clear of flammable materials, and never leave the fire unattended. 

Do Cast Iron Fire Pits Rust?

Whilst they have a traditional and even ‘classic medieval’ look, cast iron fire pits are prone to rusting, especially when exposed to moisture and left untreated. 


Regular maintenance, like keeping them dry, applying a heat-resistant coating, and using a cover when not in use, can significantly reduce rusting and prolong their lifespan.

Can a Fire Pit Go on a Deck?

Like grass, keeping a fire pit on a wooden deck requires caution. Ensure adequate clearance from flammable materials and choose a fire pit designed for deck use. Make sure never to leave it unattended when lit.
