A firepit with grill gives you open fire cooking and warmth in one unit. Most models reach temperatures ideal for grilling meat, fish and vegetables. Cast iron grates hold heat well and are easy to clean.
Look for adjustable grill heights — this controls cooking temperature without fiddling with the fire. Steel bowls are durable but treated steel resists rust far better than untreated versions.
Many units fold flat for storage. Spark guards are worth having for safety on wooden decking. Sizes range from compact 60cm bowls to large 90cm entertainer styles.
