Stay Warm With a Tabletop Fire Bowl

You don’t need to have a big fire pit in your yard to stay warm on cool Spring, Summer or Fall nights. You don’t even need a yard! If you’ve got an outdoor table on a deck or a patio, you’ve got just what you need for a tabletop fire bowl. The best news is that you can totally make a tabletop fire bowl yourself–just the way you want it. Keep reading to see some cozy examples! And then check out Hardware World to find the supplies you need.

Here are the basic supplies you need for a tabletop fire bowl. They include cement and large bowls to shape the bowl, lava rock and fire glass, a disposable grill topper, and a can of gel fuel. These are all easy to find!

This is an example of what you can build yourself with the supplies I showed you. Doesn’t it look spectacular?

Here’s another example which uses some polished stones in place of fire glass. It still looks just as spectacular, only with a more contemporary twist.

For only $25 you can make a personal fire pit complete with a sophisticated glass box. If you use Real Flame gel fuel, you can even use this one indoors if you like!

This example doesn’t require you to make a cement bowl to house the flame. It uses a galvanized metal bowl. The downside is that the metal can get hot.
