Choosing campfire bowls made of metal

In our time, outdoor tourism has become widespread. People take many different supplies with them. These are tents, boats, barbecues and many other things. It all depends on the size of the luggage and the capacity of the car. Making a fire requires great care. It is better to light it up in a container brought with you so as not to damage the plants and soil. For this purpose, collapsible barbecues and fire bowls are used. With the help of these devices, you can remove all residues of combustion products without leaving any traces.

Fire bowls should be examined in detail. These products have come into use quite recently. With their help, you can make a "cultural fire". This product is produced in various variations and has an aesthetic appearance.

To ignite the flame, you first need to find a secluded spot. It will create a friendly environment for communication. The bonfire is often installed in summer cottages and country houses. For their installation, zones are allocated that create maximum comfort for arriving guests. Nowadays, there is a large number of innovative design developments. With the help of modern building materials, you can make a patio, lay out beautiful tiles on the floor and furnish the area with furniture.

A bonfire bowl will change the overall picture of the entire resting place. Previously, you could only see a barbecue and chairs with a table. The campfire tank looks great against the background of the general landscape design. A wide range of these products is presented by modern manufacturers. You can choose a bowl of any size and configuration.

Finely made products have a certain amount of decor in their design. This includes carved and forged items. The spherical bowls prevent coals and sparks from getting outside. Such a product, unlike a barbecue, will provide the maximum degree of fire safety. This invention is especially relevant in the dry season, when there is a lot of dry grass in nature, which can quickly ignite.

A fireproof cover is required to install a metal garden fireplace. This protects the unit from deformation during heating. And also there will be no rust on the product. A drainage system is also needed here. Only a high-class specialist can install this product. The fire bowl has the necessary stability in any weather. You don't need to pay money for its installation. Anyone can do it.

The bowl is lightweight. It can be easily carried around the perimeter of the yard. Operational safety is ensured by the thick metal from which the product is made. Sturdy legs keep the hemisphere from tipping over. Cold weather will not spoil the holiday, because the fire bowl will provide a cozy and warm atmosphere.

The bowls are made of metal and ceramics. However, iron products are the most widespread. Most often these are portable products. They, in turn, are divided into 2 groups:

• cast iron spheres, which are distinguished by their fire resistance and long service life;

• forged campfire tanks are distinguished by the presence of decor and low weight.

Combined products are available for sale. Some products combine iron with cast iron, others - ceramics with metal. According to their design, hemispheres are divided into 2 categories:

• stationary products of large sizes, which are not placed, but buried in the ground;

• portable bowls, which are most widespread, have a variety of dimensions, shapes, decor, spark protection.

Different materials are used in the manufacture of bowls.

• Granite. Outdoor fireplaces are made from this material. They are cut out of a solid monolith, then polished. The resulting product has an aesthetic appearance. It will fit into any landscape design.

• Refractory ceramics. The products have a decorative appearance and will beautify any panorama. The product will look especially beautiful on a land plot where there is a large number of forged and carved elements.

• Galvanized iron. The metal hearth is often painted with polymer paint or made of stainless steel. This type is considered the most popular among users. With its help, you can arrange the most unusual design projects.

When it gets dark, the round fire bowl will show special effects, and high tongues of flame and carved decor will help her in this. It is impossible to see this in traditional stone products. The metal hemispheres in the sidewalls have decor cut out in the form of various fairy-tale figures (boats, silhouettes of animals, the sky with stars). High tongues of flame will create a shadow in the form of carved symbolism. All this in the surrounding area will create a great dancing effect - the cut-out figures will jump from all sides. When buying such products, you need to pay attention to the stability of the bowls and the likelihood of corrosion.

Before buying a product, you need to think over everything well. It is necessary to determine the purpose of the metal hemisphere. If the container will often move from one place to another, then a lightweight design can be purchased. Such a bowl can be freely carried by 1 person. This product is very mobile, it can be moved around the perimeter of the yard in a matter of seconds.

If the recreation area does not change, then a stationary product will be required. These structures weigh about 60 kg. They have good stability and high strength.

The wall thickness plays an important role in the operation of the bowl. The simplest spherical products often have a wall thickness of 1–2 mm. This is very small for long lasting use. The bowl will eventually burn out, after a few years the fireplace will become unusable, and it can be scrapped. High-quality products should have a metal thickness of 4 mm. In this case, the bowl can be used for many years. She will not be threatened with burnout and deformation. The product will serve for a long period.

Ceramic and stone hemispheres have completely different parameters. When heated, they practically do not expand, their thickness is several times greater than their metal counterparts. The models are of decent size and weight. Therefore, they are usually made of a stationary type.

The second option takes precedence. There are no welds in it. The structural strength in this case is very high. The welds located between the petals of the bowl can crack from frequent heating. As a result, the product will become unusable. This will not happen with forged bowls, since they are whole. Legs are welded to them for stability from below.

Everyone knows that a place needs to be allocated to start a fire. You can transfer it if necessary. After all, there are situations when the owners and guests want to change the position of the recreation area. For example, someone will like a place near an artificial reservoir or in a gazebo.

An iron bowl with decor will adorn any yard, but all fire safety rules must be observed. Of course, fire bowls are highly reliable, but it is better to calculate all the risks in order to prevent possible unpleasant consequences. A fire should be made with minimal damage to the soil and plants, and the remnants of burnt firewood and coal should be completely removed completely, leaving no traces.

It is better to put the portable bowl in a barn or other building for the winter. So the product will last a longer period and retain its appearance. At any time, the container can be installed in the desired place. And in winter, you don't need to beat off the frozen ice from the bowl, clean out the snow.

You need to take into account that it is best to use charcoal or firewood as fuel. These materials are considered the best for campfire bowls. Coal produces too high a temperature, which can lead to deformation of the metal.

The bowls are designed by the best specialists. These solutions will help to decorate the summer cottage and create a warm and friendly atmosphere on it. Here people will be able to relax with friends to the merry crackling of burning firewood. On an open fire, you can cook fish soup or cook pilaf.
