Our Top Tabletop Fire Pit Picks

Gathering around a backyard fire pit with friends, family and home-cooked food is one of life’s simplest yet greatest pleasures. The waves of dry heat warming your hands and face, the amber flames casting everyone in a flattering light and the acoustics of crackling logs — the entire experience is delightful. That said, traditional fire pits are not the right fit for every family or lifestyle. Enter: The tabletop fire pit. This type of pint-sized fire pit offers the same cozy ambiance as its larger counterparts but does so in a lightweight, easy-to-move package that allows you to set up shop virtually anywhere around your house.

How to Choose a Tabletop Fire Pit

Setting: Before buying your tabletop fire pit, consider where you plan on using it the most. Yes, these designs are portable, so you can (and should!) move your fire pit around your home as you see fit. That said, if you plan to use it as a semi-permanent centerpiece for your outdoor dining table, you should take that table’s measurements, shape and finish into consideration when purchasing your fire pit. Doing so will ensure whatever fiery focal point you choose will make a seamless addition to your outdoor space.

Purpose: Consider what function your tabletop fire pit will bring to your home. Do you plan on using it to roast marshmallows with the kids? Or is it purely decorative? Once you figure out your tabletop pit plans, that brings us to the final determinant.

Fuel Type: Tabletop fire pits come with various fuel options, and each fuel delivers a slightly different experience from the next. If you determined that your tabletop fire pit’s purpose is roasting s’mores, it’s paramount to purchase one that runs on food-safe fuel such as propane, gel or ethanol. If you plan to use your tabletop fire pit as a glowing centerpiece on your dining table, you should avoid all propane or natural gas-powered design to ensure safe indoor use.
