The eco solution

Our beautiful climate fosters an enjoyable outdoor lifestyle. Ensuring you’re kept comfortably warm when there’s a chill in the air, the Bio Ethanol Fire Pit from Beauty Fires is an eco-conscious, fuss-free solution. Bio ethanol is considered as a clean fuel due to its nature and composition, resulting in a clean burn with no residue left behind. The latest addition to Beauty Fires’ collection of bio ethanol burners, the Fire Pit is made from 304 stainless steel, and ensures a burning time of between eight and 12 hours with multiple flame heights on a 6L fuel tank. beautyfires.com

Wooden wonder

There’s something nostalgic about a wood-burning fireplace that makes it so desirable. The Filiofocus from Swissfireplace takes this attraction to the next level with its sleek contemporary design. A central, suspended wood-burning fireplace, the Filiofocus has four curved heat-resistant glass panels of which two are fixed and two slide open, serving as a fireguard. The hearth bowl can be positioned at three different heights: built into the floor, placed above the floor, or attached to a steel or constructed base, making this a flexible solution for different interior design needs. swissfireplace.co.za

For easy entertaining 

A crackling fire, a glass of wine and some snacks make for a good evening at home with family. Making this possible in your backyard, the FireBlade was designed locally by one of South Africa’s leading garden landscape designers, Craig de Necker of The Friendly Plant, for Chad-O-Chef Lifestyle Products. The design captures the essence of what a fire pit should be: simple, elegant and beautiful. The units are available in gas-burning and wood-burning options, and in many different styles to complement any space – easily incorporating as a centrepiece in a beautiful outdoor living area. chad-o-chef.co.za

 On the move

If you’re looking for an outdoor heating solution that can easily be moved around depending on where you want to be, then the ceramic Earthfire Fire Pit is worthy of consideration. It can be placed on the balcony or at a campsite. A small, portable wood-burning unit, the Fire Pit doubles up as a small braai when the (supplied) stainless steel grid is attached. The unit comes in a smart box for easy mobility. The Fire Pit is made from durable, thermal shockproof NilTherm with a hard-wearing glazed surface both inside and out. The ceramic body stores heat and radiates a comforting warmth even after the fire has burnt out.  macd.co.za

Go for gas

The popular option for many homeowners, flueless gas fireplaces have become the go-to for contemporary homes, with the ability to heat more of an open-plan space – and at an affordable price, too. The Infiniti Fires Slimline gas burner is such a unit: perfectly on-trend with a sophisticated aesthetic. The Slimline unit burns gas cleanly, and is safe to operate in open-plan areas without the need for a chimney. This makes it both very efficient and a powerful heater. Designed to be built into a brick structure to your desired style, the unit is available in a choice of stainless steel or black to complement your home’s interior aesthetic.
