Types of outdoor fire pits we offer

Outdoor fire pits for ambience

If you want a simple, atmospheric outdoor fire pit for gathering around on cooler evenings, you’ll find:

• Classic garden fire pits and bowls for logs or wood-based fuels.
• Low-level fire bowls ideal as a central feature on patios and terraces.
• Precision airflow and wood-gasification designs that burn hotter and cleaner, with reduced smoke and odour.

Many of these outdoor fire pits are designed to be left in situ as a permanent feature, with optional stands, lids and covers to help protect them when cooled.

Large fire pits and sculptural centrepieces

For bigger gardens and statement spaces, Garden Chefs offers substantial, design-led pieces including the dramatic Glowbus Dewdrop range – a true design fire pit that becomes a focal sculpture even when not lit.

These large fire pits and huge fire pits:

• Create a strong visual centre for terraces and landscaping schemes.
• Offer generous fire chambers suitable for group gatherings.
• Are built from durable, outdoor-ready materials designed to weather beautifully over time.

If you are planning a generous entertaining area, consider pairing a large sculptural bowl with seating and side tables to make it the heart of your outdoor living space.

Low-smoke and smokeless fire pit options

If smoke drift is a concern – for you or for nearby neighbours – a low-smoke or smokeless fire pit style can be a smart choice.

Garden Chefs stocks low-smoke bowls and wood-gasification designs that:

• Use precision airflow and secondary combustion to reburn smoke.
• Deliver hotter, more efficient flames from the same amount of fuel.
• Reduce odour and visible smoke compared with many basic fire baskets.

These are ideal for more sheltered gardens, smaller patios and terraces where comfort and cleaner air are a priority.

Fire pits for cooking and grilling

Some models are designed not just as heaters, but also for live-fire cooking. Depending on the product, accessories such as plancha plates and grill grates can transform a simple bowl into a cooking fire pit.

Within the Garden Chefs range you’ll find:

• Dedicated cooking fire pits that can be used for open-fire grilling.
• fire pit grill setups with removable or adjustable grates.
• Multifunctional units that can switch between bbq fire pit cooking and pure ambience modes.

Always follow the specific cooking and safety guidance supplied with your chosen model, and use appropriate tools, heat-resistant gloves and spark protection where recommended.

Portable fire pits and flexible layouts

If you entertain in different parts of the garden, or want to take the atmosphere with you when you move house, portable fire pits can be a useful option. Some bowls and compact units are light enough to relocate once completely cooled, letting you:

• Reconfigure your seating and layout through the seasons.
• Take a patio fire pit out onto the lawn or further into the garden when conditions are safe.
• Store your fire pit under cover over winter to keep it looking its best.

Always wait for full cool-down before moving any fire feature, and never relocate while hot or burning.

Tabletop fire and indoor alternatives

For balconies, compact patios or interior spaces where a full-sized pit isn’t practical, Garden Chefs also offers tabletop bioethanol models. These can provide the feeling of a mini fire pit with clean-burning fuel, odourless and smokeless operation, and are suitable for indoor and outdoor use when operated correctly.

Explore our tabletop fire pits and wider bioethanol range, including bio ethanol burner options, for a flexible alternative to traditional wood-burning bowls.

FAQs about fire pits

Which fire pits are best for a UK garden?

For most UK gardens, durable metal bowls and outdoor fire pits with good airflow perform well. If you have close neighbours or a sheltered garden, a low-smoke or smokeless fire pit design can improve comfort by reducing smoke and odour.

Do you deliver fire pits across the whole of the UK?

Yes. Garden Chefs supplies fire pits in the UK with tracked delivery. Typical delivery is 2-3 working days, though busy periods or specific products may take longer. Exact delivery information is shown at checkout.

What’s the difference between a fire bowl and a fire pit?

A fire bowl is usually a simpler, open bowl shape designed for logs or similar fuels, often lower to the ground. A fire pit can be a bowl, a deeper vessel or a sculptural piece, sometimes with accessories for cooking. Garden Chefs stocks both standalone pits and dedicated fire bowls.

Can I cook on my fire pit?

Some models are suitable as a fire pit bbq or grill when paired with the correct accessories. Look for product pages that reference cooking use, or explore our bbq fire pit options and compatible grills. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and use appropriate tools and safety gear.

Are there modern fire pits for small patios and terraces?

Yes. Many modern fire pits and compact bowls are designed for smaller outdoor areas, offering strong visual impact without taking up too much space. For very tight spaces or balcony use, consider tabletop fire pits indoor alternatives that run on clean-burning bioethanol.

Which fire pit should I choose for a large garden in the UK?

For larger gardens, a bigger bowl or sculptural design fire pit works well as a focal point. Large fire pits create a wider heat radius and suit bigger seating groups. Think about how many people you’ll typically host and how far from the house you’ll position it.

Are fire pits weatherproof?

Most metal fire pits are designed for outdoor use and can be left outside, though appearance and lifespan are improved if you use appropriate covers once fully cooled and avoid standing water where possible. Check the guidance for your chosen model and consider accessories such as lids, covers and stands.
