Fire Pits — Outdoor Heating & Backyard Solutions

Sand, gravel, or lava rock are the most recommended materials for the bottom of a fire pit. They absorb heat, improve drainage, and help protect the pit structure from prolonged flame contact. Lava rock is especially popular for gas fire pits as it evenly distributes heat. Avoid regular stones, which can crack or explode when exposed to high temperatures.

The Brickyard offers both wood-burning and gas-burning fire pit options. Gas units range from simple key valve burners to remote-start models for added convenience. Wood-burning units provide an authentic, crackling fire experience. Infrared wall and ceiling heaters are also available for a more discreet outdoor heating approach.
