No matter the season or weather, it’s nice to have a good fire going that you can warm your hands next to. Sadly you can only make this a reality if you have both a fireplace and a fire pit for the various seasons. There are very few people who would want to warm their house via fireplace in the summer if they don’t have access to a pit, and an even fewer amount that will want to try and start a fire in their backyard in the middle of winter if they don’t have a fireplace.

If you want to enjoy the flames without much fuss, then maybe the Allure Tabletop Fire Pit is the way to go. This uses gel fuel, so it burns cleanly, and will snuff itself out if you forget to extinguish it. You can choose either a Sedona or Silver Vein finish, and as the fire is contained in glass, you can have it indoors without worry of reducing your home to ashes. This is a substantial purchase at $180, but it’s twisting flames and warmth might just be enough to make it worth the money.
