Best Portable Fire Ring
Take your campfire on the road with this attractive, inexpensive and highly portable fire ring. Made of heavy-duty steel with a cut-out pine tree pattern, the ring folds up into a carrying case. Use it to contain sparks and ash when you build a fire in your backyard, or when you go camping or head to your weekend cabin. One five-star reviewer called it “the epitome of efficient design and function.”
Best Mesh Fire Ring
For optimum warmth without the risk of flying sparks, consider this mesh fire ring from Pleasant Hearth. At 36 inches in diameter, it’s big enough for a crowd to gather around, and at 12 inches high, it’s deep enough to build a roaring fire. And, the wilderness motif will make you feel like you’re in the great outdoors, even if you’re in your backyard in the city. “The added screens on the sides help contain any pops and sparks that may fly out,” noted one Amazon reviewer.
Best Petite Fire Ring
If you have a tiny yard but don’t want to forego the joys of a backyard fire pit, this 30-inch fire ring is for you. The lattice pattern with spark screen lets you see the fire from any direction and one Amazon reviewer praised it for being “super cute!” This little fire ring will bring you many hours of enjoyment.
Best Basic Fire Ring
If you want to keep things simple and functional, or if you’re looking to add some industrial-chic gear to your backyard, consider this rust-proof galvanized steel fire ring. It looks perfectly fine on its own or can serve as the insert for a DIY fire pit made from landscaping blocks or fire brick or stone. At 36 inches wide, it’s big enough for roaring fires, or you can position a grill grate over it for cooking out.
Best DIY-Ready Fire Ring
If you’re already envisioning a creative fire pit that integrates beautifully into your backyard or patio, this round, heavy-duty fire ring from Sunnydaze might be just what you’re looking for. The design features a wide rim, so you can bury this ring flush with the ground, or build a stone or brick surround. A spark screen is sold separately.
Best Fire Ring for Cooking
A lot of fire rings are designed to be decorative and aren’t really meant to be cooked on. Not so with this campfire ring from Pilot Rock, which comes with its own grilling grate that swivels for easier, safer cooking. It’s portable for use while camping, although some reviewers cited its low depth — the ring is 7 inches high — as less than ideal for fires in woodland areas. Several purchasers used this ring as the base for a permanent backyard fire ring, with the addition of pavers or retaining wall blocks.
Best Celestial Fire Ring
If rustic isn’t your style, consider this starry night fire ring from CobraCo. We like the artistic design (a nice alternative to all of the wilderness motifs) on this durable steel fire ring that breaks down into four pieces for easy transport. Amazon reviewers love this fire ring, especially for its affordable price and ease of assembly.
Best Stylish Fire Pit Ring
We love the looks of this stylish, Arts & Crafts-inspired fire pit from Pleasant Hearth, and think Frank Lloyd Wright himself might have approved. Need some design inspiration? Several reviewers set this fire pit on a gravel base, and then made a ring of paving bricks around the gravel to create a permanent backyard feature. You could also insert a solid fire ring liner to make a more substantial, heat-resistant fire ring.
Best Extra-Large Fire Ring
If 48 inches just isn’t big enough for the fire pit of your dreams, consider this steel fire ring from PD Metals. At 60 inches in diameter and 12 inches high, you can gather a whole crowd your backyard fires. This durable fire ring also comes with a steel fire poker to help you tend your king-size fires.
Best Square Fire Ring
If a round fire ring doesn’t appeal to you, no worries — this square fire ring from Pleasant Hearth will do the trick. At 36 inches, it’s one of the larger rings available, and big enough for warming up a crowd on a chilly night. Note that some reviewers recommend coating the fire pit with a high-heat spray paint, such as Rustoleum High Heat Spray Paint to protect against warping and discoloration.
