Tabletop Fire Pits
The idea of outdoor fire pits is hardly a new one, but the options available for creating that warm glow on your patio table are now numerous. From wood burning fire pits to gas-fueled fire tables you can now feature fire just about anywhere in your yard or patio.
In this article, we’ll feature the 10 best tabletop fire bowls that are sure to wow the neighbors and add warmth and light to your patio table.
So what are they???
Tabletop fire bowls are small vessels that can safely house a fuel source that will output a small flame. Made from glass, stone, pottery, or synthetic materials they are easily portable.
They are generally fueled in one of three ways. Either with a small liquid propane container, gel fuel, or ethanol fuel. The liquid propane comes in a one pound cylander. The same stuff used with those little gas powered hibachi’s.
Gel fuel is a little different. It doesn’t burn as hot and is similar to what you’d see under a chafing dish at a buffet. Learn more about gel fuel.
Ethanol fuel is the third fuel source. It burns clean, it is a pure plant-based fuel and 100% natural alcohol.
So without further ado check out our list of the 10 best tabletop fire bowls and pits.

Outdoor Propane Fire Tables – Buying Guide
Hi Ryan, I just love your products. We have a small garden and recently purchased a “chimney” which, when lit, makes you feel even more chilled out not to mention the heat it gives out on our chilly English nights. There is no better place to be than in your garden at night with that glass of beer or wine! A very novel idea for a niche, well done.
Thanks for stopping by Paul. I love those Chimney’s. Very relaxing!
