When you picture fall, you often imagine sitting around a fire pit, with s' mores, maybe a glass of wine or a mug of hot chocolate -- and making memories with close friends and family.
With the days getting shorter and a fall chill in the air, warm up your evenings by gathering around a new fire pit and watching the flames crackle while spending quality time with the important people in your life.
Here are some of our favorite fire pits, both for on-the-go travel or your own backyard.
Solo Stove Ranger
Solo Stove
$199.99, was $299.99
Recognized as the world's most compact fire pit, you can take this everywhere you go, whether you're heading to the hills for a weekend camping trip or to a friend's house for a BBQ, pack up the pit inside of itself, and you're good to go. Once the fire burns, the Ranger is designed so that the only thing left will be the ultra-fine ash. Once the ash is cold and no longer burning in any way, dispose of it either in a bin or add it to your compost! Fuel with chunk wood or small logs and the burn chamber will work its magic to ensure a consistent and safe fire that's always controlled.
