Want the kids to hangout outside? These backyard fire pits will do the trick

There’s nothing better than a good chat around the fire. So here is a round up of fire pits to add to your backyard aesthetic!

By Mindy Dunyon

As Utah begins to ease restrictions, the neighborhood kids are starting to come out of quarantine. I’m happy about it. My kids can only play so many games of “Settlers of Catan” as a family before they will begin to go crazy! As much as I want to see my kids hanging out with their friends again, I would also really love them to find things to do outside. So I’ve been on the hunt for a good fire pit. Ideally one that doesn’t leave everyone smelling like smoke at the end of the night.

Here are six top-rated fire pits you can purchase for less than $400.
