Cast Iron Outdoor Wood Fire Dish

Cast Iron Outdoor Wood Fire Dish

What We Like: The shallow dish for better airflow

What We Don’t Like: Low to the ground, not so good for young children

The Howland Cast Iron Fire Pit is the ultimate in modern backyard entertainment. It is sturdy, but also sleek with its Kadai-style design.

Unlike a lot of modern outdoor gas fireplaces, this is a real wood burning fire pit. Perfect for sitting around the fire late into the night with friends! The shallower design of the bowl ensures good airflow and less smoke.

This design is quite low to the ground which is cozy but probably not suitable for younger children. It is compact but still holds a surprisingly large amount of wood, and the cast iron makes it incredibly stable.

Buying Guide

There are four main types of outdoor metal fireplaces that you can choose from:

  • A mantelpiece-style design is more similar to indoor models and perfect to create a cozy atmosphere. Due to their size, these outdoor metal fireplaces are best suited in large gardens or patios
  • A freestanding stove-like design can still help you achieve a cozy feel but, usually, with an emphasis on more decorative and vintage styles
  • Freestanding obelisk-style fireplaces are a practical space-saving choice that introduces an element of verticality into your outdoor area
  • Lower fire pits can be placed in the middle of a seating area to ensure that everyone is keeping warm without a taller or bulkier fireplace getting in the way of your conversation

However, keep in mind that, nowadays, there are lots of creative and more contemporary designs that don’t necessarily fit within one of these traditional categories. Still, they might be worth scouting for if you’re trying to make a statement or are looking for a fireplace solution that will fit in a very specific spot.

When you need to take care of an outdoor metal fireplace, follow these steps. Use a broom with stiff bristles or a wet-dry vacuum to remove all soot, debris, and leaves from the main body of your fireplace. Then, using warm, soapy water and a cloth or brush, clean the entire fireplace both inside and out. Do this at least seasonally to ensure that your fireplace remains both safe and aesthetic.
