About Kustom Fire Pits

Updated on

Kustom Fire Pits is an independent buying-guide site for backyard fire pits. We help you compare models and choose one with less guesswork.

We write for homeowners and DIYers shopping for a pit for the patio, the deck or the yard. You don't need a metalworker's vocabulary, because we explain terms like corten, smokeless and BTU in plain words.

What we cover

Our guides cover steel and cast iron wood-burning pits, smokeless models and propane fire pit tables. We also cover the gear that goes with them, like spark screens, covers, mats and ring inserts.

Many guides compare two models or two types side by side, so you can see the trade-offs before you buy.

What we do

We read the product details, specs and maker information for every fire pit we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one.

Then we turn it all into plain guides and clear picks. You can read more on our How we research page.

What we don't do

We don't make, build or sell fire pits, and no maker pays us to rank its products. Despite the name, we don't take custom orders.

Kustom Fire Pits is an independent site. We aren't affiliated with Solo Stove, Tiki, Breeo, Sunnydaze or any other fire pit maker.

We don't give setup or clearance instructions. Follow the maker's manual and your local fire rules, because an open fire can cause serious harm.

We don't claim to have tested every product ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
