Fire Pit Screens

A wood burning fire pit is known to pop and crack, shooting embers and hot ash into the air, a spark screen will help prevent this from happening. The type of wood you are burning and the weather conditions can contribute to the amount of sparks and they cannot be totally controlled, even with a spark screen, but the last thing you want is for a stray spark to burn someone or something. So using a spark screen is really a necessity to anyone using a wood burning fire pit.

Spark screens come in different sizes and styles, and some will often have one side that lifts up for easy access to add wood to the fire. They have a handle at the top of the screen, so that it can easily be removed with gloves, for toasting marshmallows or hotdogs. A spark screen will also give the fire a more visible barrier for those with young children, letting them know it is unsafe to touch which will help to prevent injury. Keep flying embers under control when using your outdoor fire pit with a mesh spark screen. You could also choose a more decorative style that will not only keep the sparks and embers where they belong, but looks amazing while doing it!
