What’s best between a Firepit and BBQ?

Fire pits have become increasingly popular over the last few years, but the reality is that gathering around a fire is something humans have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years. So when people ask why purchase a fire pit grill over a BBQ, the answer seems very simple to us.

Barbecues do a job. They cook food, and they do it well. A fire pit grill can also provide the functionality of cooking and the infusion of smoky flavour in your food, but they are more than this.  They are a way of life.

Inside, kitchens used to be hidden places, dark corners of the house where chefs were kept isolated from social gatherings, and food was produced through hatches. In the last few decades, we’ve seen kitchens take their rightful place at the heart of the home and opened up to family and friends. The kitchen is where we gather round and chat.

The same is happening outside our homes, in our gardens. Where BBQs sit in the corner, with no hope of Patrick Swayze ever coming to set them free, fire pits take centre stage. No matter your preference, there’s plenty of cooking options to choose from with a fire pit grill; spit roasting, pot cooking, grilling, frying and sautéing, skewering, and even roasting and smoking! The versatility of the fire pit, is so superior to the BBQ that you will live to eat rather than eat to live.

Cooking over a wood burning fire pit grill gives scrumptious flavours to food no matter what you are cooking. It is the taste of Summer! A good quality firepit will provide a focal point in any outdoor living area and will become the social hub of your garden. Not only delivering aromatic delights for your tastebuds, the fire pit offers a source of heat and creates a cosy atmosphere outdoors.

Being outdoors can help you relax and unwind; gathering around the fire pit, sharing food and conversation with friends and family is good for the soul. As is, toasting marshmallows! Made stupidly simple with our six-pronged marshmallow fork, there will be plenty to go round. For us, this makes the fire pit a clear winner.
