Fire pits are decorative, and they’re often used in outdoor spaces like patios or decks. They can also be found indoors, but outdoor spaces tend to have a more natural feel. However, many people make common mistakes when setting up their firepits. One mistake is not being clear about what kind of fuel you need for the fire pit, so you may end up running out of fuel at the crucial moment before your big party! Other mistakes include improperly ventilating the space around the fire pit, having an unsafe area around it and not considering the weather forecast. You should also consider setting up a spark screen if you live near wooded areas.
