What is the best metal for a fire pit?
1 Answer
The best metal for a fire pit is ultimately a matter of preference. Both cast iron and steel fire pits are long-lasting. However, cast iron is a better material for a fire pit than steel because it has advantages over steel, such as being more durable, getting hot faster, and retaining heat better than steel.
