All about Recreational Fire

When it comes to fire, there have been a lot of various uses over time since its first discovery in ancient times. Back before temperature control, it was used to warm homes. It has also been used to cook food to be safe for humans to eat. Now, there are almost endless things that can be done with fire, including installing an outdoor fire pit for recreational purposes. Here is some more information about how you can use fire to enhance your entertainment.


There are two basic types of outdoor fires that you can install on your patio or other outdoor entertainment area: wood burning and gas burning. Depending on what you want to use them for, you may prefer one over the other. Wood burning pits are created to include real logs, where gas burning ones often have fake logs put in that are resistant to the flames created and instead they burn natural gas or liquid propane. Both of these options can vary in shape, size and price; however the gas ones are often more sophisticated.


There could be some advantages to each type of fire pit. Wood burning pits may be cheaper to buy, and some people enjoy that they are more real. In some cases, they may also provide better heat. However, if you are using the pit a lot, you may benefit more from the gas burning pit long-term, as you won’t have to keep getting new firewood and the gas in some pits may last longer. In the end, it is mostly up to personal preference.


Fire has evolved a lot over the centuries, to go from a necessity of life to something that can be used recreationally. Now, if you choose to install a fire pit out in your yard, it can add to a relaxing night or to a summer get together at your home with friends, family or neighbors.
