Frequently Asked Questions

  • Hardwoods like oak or hickory are the top choices for a wood-burning fire pit because they provide long, clean burns with less smoke. You should always avoid softwoods, treated lumber, or woods that can be toxic when burned, especially if you plan to cook over the fire. Using well-seasoned (dried) firewood is also key — green or wet wood produces significantly more smoke and is harder to keep lit.

  • Wood-burning fire pits are generally not recommended on wood or composite decks, as the intense heat can warp, melt, or darken deck materials — and composite decking is especially vulnerable. If you have a brick or concrete patio, a wood-burning fire pit can be used as long as there are no overhead clearance issues like a roof, canopy, or overhanging trees. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines and local regulations before placing any fire pit on a deck or covered surface.

  • Yes — most portable wood-burning fire pits will kill the grass underneath after just one or two hot fires, and even fire-resistant mats or pavers typically only offer temporary protection. If you plan to use a fire pit in the same spot regularly, it's best to remove the turf under the pit entirely and replace it with gravel, pavers, or stones. This protects your lawn and also creates a safer, more stable base for the fire pit.

  • The three most important factors in reducing smoke are using well-seasoned firewood, ensuring proper airflow, and building a hot, strong fire from the start. Elevating your firewood on a grate helps air circulate underneath, which leads to a hotter, cleaner burn with less smoke. Smokeless-style fire pits that use secondary combustion can also help, but they work best once the fire is fully up to temperature and are most effective with dry, seasoned wood.

  • Wood-burning fire pits should be kept at least 20 feet away from your home, and they should never be used underneath any kind of covering such as a pergola, canopy, or overhanging trees. Many municipalities also require the fire pit to be a minimum of 10–25 feet away from buildings and other flammable materials. Always check your local fire codes, since regulations vary by area and burn bans may further restrict use during high fire-risk periods.
