Few things express summer more than the smell of a campfire while sitting out under the stars. Add some marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers and you have the perfect setup for a summer evening. While many of us would love to go out camping, it’s not always possible. You don’t have to skip the smores at home, however, just get a fun outdoor fire pit and set it up in your backyard.

Many of them are made from recycled/upcycled metal, such as the round end of propane tanks. From classic characters to avant-garde, here are some of our favorite metal fire pits.
