Hosting BBQs on Your Fire Pit

Whether you own a fire pit already, or if you're in need of a top-quality one to integrate into your backyard, Walden Backyards has it all! We also know a thing or two about cooking on the fire pit. Here are some tips for hosting barbeques with a fire pit:

Choose the right fire pit

There are many different types of fire pits to choose from these days. Consider your budget, the size of your backyard, and the type of cooking you plan to do when choosing a fire pit. Walden Backyards' Legacy Series fire pit insert set is an ideal choice for several reasons, featuring a solid construction for a lifetime of use, top-rated reviews, and plenty of fire pit accessories to choose what you need for better Backyarding™.

Safety first

Make sure you follow all safety precautions when using a fire pit. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, and never leave the fire pit unattended. Another benefit of the Legacy Series fire pit insert is the unique Snuffer Lid, which can put your fire out quickly and safely. Make sure the fire pit is placed on a flat, non-combustible surface, and keep a safe distance from any flammable objects. Be sure to check any local ordinances when choosing where to locate your fire pit.

Get cooking

Fire pits are great for cooking up all sorts of delicious meals. You can roast hot dogs, cook up some burgers and steaks, pop popcorn, or even make wood-fired pizzas. Just be sure to bring along the right cooking tools, such as a grill rack or skewers. As always, be sure to grab marshmallows to round out your meal with some classic s'mores.

Add some ambiance

Fire pits are not just for cooking; they also add a warm and cozy ambiance to your barbeques. You can add some mood lighting by hanging lanterns or string lights. Place some comfortable seating around the fire pit for your guests to relax in and enjoy the heat  of the fire as well as the aroma of your cooking meal.

Set the mood with music

Music can set the mood for any barbeque, and fire pits are no exception. Create a playlist of your favorite tunes, or bring along a portable speaker to play music while you cook and relax. Suggest your favorite campfire song in the comments below!

Keep the drinks flowing

Don't forget the drinks! Make sure you have plenty of cold beverages on hand, such as lemonade, iced tea, and soda. If you are like a cold brew with your BBQ, be sure to grab a Legacy Fire Pit Poker so you are never left without a bottle opener by the fire. You can also set up a bar area with glasses, ice, and mixers.

Have fun with games

Fire pit barbeques are a great opportunity to play some fun games with your friends and family. You can play cornhole, horseshoes, or other lawn games. You can also set up a game of capture the flag or a scavenger hunt for the kids. Inspire conversation or play a round of Go Fish with the Fire-Side Chats™ Conversation Starter Card Deck.

Enjoy the moment

The most important thing about hosting barbeques with a fire pit is to have fun and enjoy the moment. So, relax, make some memories, and enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the fire pit.
