No, fir pits don't have to be round. While round fire pits are popular due to
their traditional shape and ease of creating an even heat distribution,
fire pits come in various shapes such as square, rectangular, or custom
designs. The shape you choose depends on your personal style, the
available space, and how you plan to use the fire pit.

A tabletop fire pit is designed to provide warmth and ambiance in a compact, convenient form. It’s ideal for small spaces like patios, balconies, or outdoor dining areas. It can also be used for decorative purposes, and certain models allow for functions like roasting marshmallows. Tabletop fire pits add an inviting atmosphere while offering a portable and low-maintenance option compared to larger fire pits.

Maintaining a fire pit involves:

Cleaning it regularly: Remove ash and debris after each use.
Inspecting for rust or damage: For metal fire pits, clean any rust and repair damages.
Covering it: Use a cover when not in use to protect it from the elements.
Seasonal maintenance: Before winter, thoroughly clean it and apply rust-preventing solutions if necessary.

Use a cover: A weather-resistant cover helps keep water out and prevents rust.
Store indoors: If your fire pit is portable, move it to a dry space during rainy weather.
Drain holes: Ensure your fire pit has proper drainage to avoid water buildup.

Place it on a fire-resistant surface: Avoid placing it on grass, wooden decks, or near flammable materials.
Keep a safe distance: Position it at least 10-20 feet away from structures or overhanging trees.
Use a spark screen: This prevents embers from flying out.
Avoid flammable liquids: Don’t use gasoline or other accelerants to start the fire.
Supervise: Never leave a fire pit unattended, especially when children or pets are nearby.
