Logs For Fire Pits

An 8-inch log is the ideal choice for small, portable fire pits, while a 10-inch log is perfect for standard, permanent garden fire pits.

Why 8-Inch Logs Suit Small Fire Pits

Fits bowl diameters: Most portable steel or copper fire pits are under 60 cm wide. Short 8-inch logs fit completely inside the rim without overhanging.
Reduces spitting hazards: Small logs sit low in the bowl. This containment prevents dangerous sparks and embers from popping out onto nearby grass or patio furniture.
Quick, casual fires: If you only want a fire for an hour or two, 8-inch logs ignite fast and burn down completely without leaving half-burnt logs behind.

Why 10-Inch Logs Suit Larger Fire Pits

Sustained outdoor heat: Open air cools down a fire quickly. Thick, 10-inch logs create a larger, deeper bed of glowing embers that radiates heat outwards to keep people warm.
Resists wind: Small logs burn away rapidly in a breeze. Denser 10-inch logs withstand outdoor airflow and burn steadily for hours.
Fewer trips to the woodpile: Larger logs burn longer, meaning you can sit back and socialise instead of constantly adding wood to the pit.
