Fire Pit Snuffers, Lids, and Screens

Should I cover my fire pit? Do I need a fire pit lid or cover? What is a snuffer and why should I use one? If you have any of these questions, we have answers. Below is a breakdown of the different types of fire pit covers to help you decide which one you may need.

TYPES OF FIRE PIT COVERINGS 

LIDS cover a fire pit when not in use and protect and preserve your gas burner from debris and pests. As a bonus, a flat lid will transform your fire pit into a table for year round use. 

SNUFFERS instantly extinguish a flame and keep guests, pets, and children safe from hot embers. 

SCREENS contain rogue sparks and embers so the do not damage nearby objects such as  patio furniture while preserving the life of your fire pit investment, but what is the difference between a fire pit lid and a snuffer, and which is the right choice for you?

Below are the key differences between the various fire toppers to help you make the right purchase for your outdoor fire pit:
