Copper firepits are stylish, sleek, yet functional, serving to not only warm you up on chilly nights but to also provide a soothing, crackling ambience that lights up any patio or deck.

Copper firepits like the one shown here from Yardiac are hand-crafted in Europe, featuring a hammered copper pit bowl with iron grill grate and a four leged wrought iron stand.

They come in a variety of sizes as well, usually starting at about 24″. While they obviously work well as firepits, some people also simply use them (sans fire) as accent pieces or beverage holders.

Copper firepits can burn any type of wood and often are sold with spark screens and other accessories.
