Common Firepit Styles
At Milkcan, we take things further with design-led solutions that boast style and sophistication. Whether you’re looking to make a designer statement or keep things simple, our collection caters to all preferences.
Our traditional designs are available in a rust or black finish. With black fixtures & finishes becoming more popular around the home, adding a black option is a whole new element that’s definitely on trend!
However, a rust finish model can be lower maintenance and the extra character will also make a statement that looks great in almost all outdoor areas.
Our Ethanol fire pits are available in a variety of colours and finishes, including natural, bone, graphite, teak, black and stainless steel.
Key Features and Design Elements
Our curated range can help you transform your outdoor area into a multi-seasonal space, so you can enjoy the bright blue or starry skies all year round.
Our traditional designs are available in a range of sizes (bowl width), ranging from 50cm, all the way up to our extra large at 100cm. This allows you to choose the most suitable-sized model for your outdoor space, as well as provide a light, portable option for weekends away camping.
Versatility
Entertain all year round! Easily convert your pit into a BBQ with a grill from our selection, or add one of our timber pit covers from our accessories range, perfect for hosting in all seasons. Why not make it a set, and add one or two of our Firewood storage seats to complete your space?
Choosing the Right Fire Pit
Practical, versatile and oh-so-charming, there’s nothing not to love about our collection. However, choosing the right one for your space takes a little bit of knowledge. Fire or ethanol pits? Cast iron or steel? Answering these questions can help you make an informed choice to ensure you’re satisfied with your purchase for years down the line.
Fire vs Ethanol Options
The main difference between traditional and ethanol pits is that the former is designed to burn timber while the latter is powered by eco-friendly bioethanol. At Milkcan, you’ll find both options available in a variety of sizes and finishes.
Ethanol is a fantastic option if you’re after the versatility of both indoor and outdoor use, with a smokeless entertaining solution. The ethanol fire bowls are also a great solution if you’re looking to add a bowl to a balcony or courtyard. The larger tables work well for larger entertaining spaces, with built-in tables simply add a cheese board ready to entertain.
Cast Iron vs Steel Pits
All the items in our range are designed with longevity in mind, which is why each one features 3-4mm thickness. Some of our cast iron models can be a little thinner on the rim, but we ensure the thickness is where it matters in the base, with thickness up to 10mm.
We’ve incorporated both cast iron and steel options into our range, to allow for all different styles of designs. The process of manufacturing cast iron allows us to make specific designs that aren’t available using steel.
Cast iron is a naturally heavier material, but no stronger or more durable than our steel designs. Steel also allows for a smoother finish than its cast iron counterpart.
FAQs:
How do I match a fire pit to my outdoor style?
Think about the finishes first. Deep black pairs with contemporary hardware and trim, while a weathered rust look introduces warmth and texture that suits most garden palettes. Prefer a refined palette? Ethanol models come in tones like natural, bone, graphite, teak, black and stainless to coordinate with furniture and decking.
Can I move or multi-purpose my fire pit?
Yes. We offer portable camping models and varieties with integrated handles for easy repositioning at home. For year-round entertaining, convert your pit into a BBQ with a compatible grill, add a timber pit cover, and complete the setup with our Firewood storage seats and marshmallow forks.
Is cast iron tougher than steel in your range?
Not by default. Cast iron is heavier and allows for distinctive shapes. Steel offers a smoother finish. Long life comes from smart thickness choices. Bowls are generally 3 to 4 mm, with the base that holds the flames substantially thicker, up to 10 mm, where heat is most intense.
