Benefits of Having Permanent Natural Stone Fire Pit at Your Home

Outdoor living is tempting. If chilly weather compels you to leave it, warmth from a fire pit may help you resist that nasty climate. Wikipedia has described Fire Pit as a feature because nomads in the ancient era dug it on a site and destroyed it before moving somewhere else.

Today, things are different. We are not living like nomads. We have permanent homes. Of course, we have options to invest in a temporary fire pit or the permanent one on our outskirts of home. Investment in both options are almost equal, but the decision may depend on your circumstance.

Suppose your circumstances are favoring the installation of a permanent fire pit. In that case, my advocacy will remain in favor of natural stone fire pits. I have illustrated the advantages of a natural stone fireplace in detail in my previously written blog. 

So, no need to repeat those all again here. Instead, I would like to make arguments favoring a permanent natural stone fire pit in your outdoor areas. Most likely, backyard, garden patios, or unique framework erected using stone seat walls on a mini fire pit patio choose places for many. 

Let me utter some ultimate benefits of having a permanent fire pit in the outdoor spaces of your home.

An Outdoor Fire Pit – A More Convenient Option Than A Fireplace.

Please bear in mind that the fireplace always is a permanent structure created above the ground. Whereas fire pit is a feature dug underground, and it may be temporary or permanent. 

The fireplace's structural design enclosed the core fire area from three sides and left only a window at the front to warm up. So, comfort, convenience, and thrill you can feel sitting around a fire pit under the sky. That, you may not find with a confined fireplace frame. You need not bring chairs outside the home. Just have clean paving to sit in any pose and relax around at any degree of the entire circle!

 

An Outdoor Fire Pit – A Quicker Option Than A Fireplace.

In my previous blog, I have correctly quoted a fireplace structure and its components like –

"A foundation, hearth, firebox, mantelpiece, chimney crane, grate, lintel, bar, damper, chamber, throat, flue, & afterburner."

When you buy a fire pit stone-kit from World of Stones USA-like prestigious natural stone supplier, you can create a functional fire pit as DIY (Do-it-Yourself) endeavor. 

• You need to dig a big and a small hole—one for burning fire pit fuel and another arrangement for supplying draft air.
• Prepare mortar to stick fire pit stones, stack up stones as per given layout, and finishing touch.

An Outdoor Fire Pit – A Cheaper Option Than A Fireplace.

We have seen that investment in a permanent stone fire pit construction is negligible compared to a framed fireplace. So, the investment in a fire pit erection is not more than some stone pieces available in the ready-to-use kit, and mortar to fuse stone pieces permanently.

An Outdoor Stone Fire Pit – Portable or Permanent?

Portable fire pits are using gas as fuels for the sake of convenience and safety. We cannot extend electrical wires each time from home whenever we need a fire pit outdoors. Similarly, wood and coals are traditional fuels. Hardly anyone prefers it unless you are in rural areas or living in a farmhouse.

Gas burning fire pits must stand for safety and security reasons covering gas bottles and keeping children away. 

In contrast, permanent fire pits are built with standard practices following safety and security measures. Many local authorities in rural and urban areas are issuing permits for fire pit construction. You have to oblige their rules and regulation while buying and installing permanent fire pits in your spaces.
