The weather is officially on the downturn from summer, and it’s clear that winter is fast approaching. That means that it’s just about time to cozy up with your favorite drink and a warm blanket to sit by the fire. Whether you need to refresh your backyard setup or you’ve not yet owned one, a fire pit is the ideal centerpiece for any outdoor space.

Lucky for you, we’ve done the digging already and found some of the best deals on fire pits—from big-name brands like Solo Stove to smaller, lesser-known (but still superb) ones—you can find ahead of the holiday season.

Powered by propane and capable of an incredible output of up to 50,000 BTUs, CHITOOMA’s Gas Fire Pit Table is perfect for semi-permanent backyard setups and will keep you and yours toasty warm even when the mercury drops. While its flame and heat production are certainly stars of the show, this fire pit actually doubles as an outdoor table when the center pit isn’t lit, offering even more year-round versatility.

Normally, this 28-inch fire pit table costs $400. But it has dropped to just $130, saving you a whopping $270 off the MSRP. That price won’t last, so pick up this fire pit while you can.

Lazy Buddy Steel Fire PitsVIA MERCHANT VIA MERCHANT

LAZY BUDDY Steel Fire Pit

Made from thick and sturdy 304 stainless steel with a heat-resistant black coating, the LAZY BUDDY Steel Fire Pit is exactly as tough as it looks. It also comes with a mesh metal lid that will block large particulates, like ash and embers, from escaping without blocking out the flames and heat, making it safer overall. However, it has a secret power: it does triple duty. Along with functioning as a fire pit, it can also be used as a BBQ and an “ice bowl” (AKA a cooler)—meaning it’s as useful in the cold winter as it is in the hot summer.

Right now, this three-in-one fire pit, BBQ, cooler is $96 off, bringing the price down to $87 from $183.

FAQ

When do fire pits go on sale?

The best time to buy a fire pit is when it’s on deep discount, and there are tons of slashed prices ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Shop the deals above for big savings on Solo Stove and a few other fun finds throughout the month of November.

Why are fire pits so expensive?

It can be easier to understand why fire pits are so expensive if you think about it from two angles. First, they’re essentially pieces of furniture, and a lot of time and effort goes into designing them to look like something you’d want to keep on your patio. Second, they have to be built extremely tough, as they’re exposed to extreme amounts of heat—that means some clever engineering and high-quality, heat-resistant materials go into their construction. And that’s to say nothing of other technologies they may have, like a smokeless design.

Thankfully, by buying fire pits when they’re on sale—like the deals we’ve outlined above—you can sometimes save hundreds of dollars off their sometimes-high MSRPs.

How much should I spend on a fire pit?

That depends on numerous factors, like how big a fire pit you want, what materials you’re interested in, whether you want a permanent installation or something more portable, etc. Quality fire pits can run anywhere from a few hundred bucks to thousands of dollars. That said, we’ve found some of the best fire pits average about $300, although you can save quite a bit on the sales listed above.
