It is enough to have a small dacha outside the city, a strong family, cheerful friends and a desire to spend their free time in nature with dignity. Campfire bowls will help to organize a fire pit.

What are campfire bowls

In the distant past, a fire was made simply on the ground and food was cooked on coals. Today this option is practically never used by anyone and anywhere. Moreover, making fires even in the forest is prohibited in order to avoid the spread of fires. The elementary street hearths were replaced by massive and heavy structures, in which a fire is made to cook food. They also act as a decoration of any suburban area and are equipped with a smokehouse, grates, woodpile and other devices.

Before making the final choice in favor of this or that model, it is worth determining for yourself the optimal size of the product, its shape and material of manufacture. All kinds of accessories are also important. However, the main selection criterion is the material used. All popular models are available:

1. Cast iron. Massive, solid, durable.
2. Granite. In production, polished stone is used. Will be an ideal decoration for a summer residence.
3. Made of fire-resistant ceramic. Distinctive features - unsurpassed appearance, thanks to which it will successfully complement any, even the most sophisticated, landscape design. Refers to decorative design elements.
4. Made of metal. This material requires special coating to withstand the vicissitudes of the weather.
5. Stainless steel, galvanized steel or polymer painted steel. It is considered the best choice in terms of design ideas. Tops the rating of the most popular products. According to buyers, the most optimal option for making fish soup, barbecue, all kinds of side dishes and tea.

What should you pay special attention to when choosing products of this kind? Design features. Campfire bowls are of the following types:

1. Stationary. They are distinguished by significant dimensions and high weight. They are mounted in a specially designated place within the yard. As a rule, they are buried in the ground.
2. Portable. They have small dimensions and acceptable weight, a variety of shapes and the presence of all kinds of accessories.They are considered the most common, since they can be rearranged from place to place, hidden under a canopy, and so on.

How to choose the right fire bowl

Which company is better depends on the individual preferences of the person. Despite the indicated advantages and disadvantages of specific models, they will help to relax after a busy working week, cheer up, calm down, and be inspired for new exploits.

Experts recommend paying attention to the following parameters of the fire bowl:

1. The presence of a reason. Almost all products manufactured by the manufacturer are equipped with stands. But there are options in which the basis is not provided. They are cheaper at a price, but they can be purchased if a place of stone has already been arranged for installation.
2. Wall thickness. It should be noted that the durability of the product directly depends on this parameter. The thinner the walls, the faster the service life of the structure will end. It is best to opt for walls with a thickness of at least 3 mm.

4. Grill set. This accessory is essential when cooking steaks, sausages, vegetables. As a rule, it comes in a set.
5. Portability. If the decision is made to install the bowl in a specific place, a stationary model is selected. If you need to move from place to place, or you need to take it with you to the forest, you should give preference to a light portable fireplace.

Where to buy a reliable product

The best option is to visit specialized trade markets. There you can see the offered copies, get acquainted with the functions, talk to the sales manager who will show you the product included in the rating of quality products.

First of all, the form and design features, as well as functionality.If, as a rule, only barbecue is prepared on the grill, then there are so many types of bowls that you can not only easily cook any gourmet dinner in it, but also use it as a decorative item in a suburban area.
