The Smokestack Outdoor Firepit is what almost every backyard can use this summer season. Although traditional bonfires are nice and all, there is something particularly agreeable about this tall structure, which happens to be inspired by industrial chimneys, hence its name. Yet since the Smokestack Outdoor Firepit is made out of Corten steel, a metal hailing from the 1930s that is meant to oxidize with the elements over time, the resulting warm copper tone blends in beautifully with the surrounding nature.
Designed by Frederik Roijé, the Smokestack Outdoor Firepit stands 6.5 feet tall and is made entirely in Holland. The ultimate adult campfire, it has a nostalgic undertone that many will appreciate. Not to mention that everyone loves a roaring fire.
