A fire pit table is a type of fire pit that is designed to be used as a table as well as a fire pit. This type of fire pit is typically larger than a regular fire pit and is designed to be used as a centerpiece for outdoor entertaining. It usually features a table-like surface around the fire pit, which is used to hold food, drinks, and other items.
While some firepits may have edges that are wide enough to accommodate glasses and bottles, that's not the main purpose of the design. Fire tables have wider surfaces and typically have glass wind shields that also prevent stray hands from accidentally venturing into the flames. Firepit tables frequently have covers that allow you to utilize the entire top when the flame is not ignited.
Most traditional fire pits are relatively low to the ground. Fire pit tables can be used as coffee tables but many models raise the flames to dining or even bar height. This is one of the characteristics that make them ideal for outdoor eating.
