Cooler Florida evenings are made for gathering around a fire with the kids and a bag of marshmallows. These are the fire pits, roasting tools, and s'mores must-haves I use to turn our Kissimmee backyard into the neighborhood hangout—every one a quick...
The centerpiece of our backyard nights. This double-wall stainless pit burns hot and nearly smokeless, so nobody ends up smelling like a campfire—and cleanup is just dumping a little ash. Worth every penny.
Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 Smokeless Fire Pit
For HOA neighborhoods that ban wood fires, this propane fire table is the answer—instant flame from a knob, no smoke, and a ledge for drinks. We run ours on the patio year-round.
Outland Living Propane Fire Pit Table
Eight extra-long sticks so the whole crew can roast at once and nobody's fighting over a stick or singeing their knuckles. They collapse down and wipe clean—a must for a real s'mores night.
Telescoping Marshmallow Roasting Sticks (Set of 8)
Keeps graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows sorted in one caddy so you're not juggling three torn bags in the dark. Genius for hauling everything out to the fire in one trip—the kids love loading it up.
Hershey's S'mores Caddy & Organizer
All-natural resin-rich kindling that lights even when it's damp—no lighter fluid smell or chemicals near the marshmallows. One or two sticks gets the fire roaring in minutes every time.
Fatwood Fire Starter Sticks
The long neck reaches deep into the fire pit without roasting your hand, and the windproof arc laughs at a Florida breeze. USB-rechargeable, so no more dead butane lighters or empty matchbooks.
Rechargeable Electric Arc Lighter
Protects your deck, patio pavers, or grass from heat and stray embers so you don't scorch a permanent ring into the yard. Cheap insurance that lets you put the fire pit exactly where you want it.
Fireproof Fire Pit Deck Mat
Between the afternoon downpours and morning dew, an uncovered pit rusts fast here. This heavy waterproof cover keeps yours dry and rust-free so it lasts years instead of one soggy season.
Waterproof Round Fire Pit Cover
Keeps firewood off the wet ground so it stays dry and bug-free between burns—important in humid Florida where wood molds fast. Holds a good stack right by the pit so you're not hauling logs mid-hangout.
Outdoor Firewood Rack
Thick leather gloves so you can move burning logs, adjust the grate, or reposition the pit without fear. Once you have a pair by the fire you'll reach for them every single time—they double for the grill, too.
Heat-Resistant Fire Pit Gloves
A long poker and log-gripping tongs so you can stoke the flames and arrange logs from a safe distance. Simple, sturdy, and it makes tending the fire feel a little more like a ritual.
Fire Pit Poker & Tool Set
You need somewhere comfy to sink in once the fire's going. These all-weather HDPE chairs shrug off Florida sun and rain, never need staining, and are the perfect lean-back height for staring into the flames.
Adirondack Chairs (Set of 2)
Takes fire-pit food way past s'mores—grilled cheese, pizza pockets, and hot fruit pies right in the coals. The kids build their own creations and it's the hit of every campout and backyard night.
Cast Iron Campfire Pie Iron
Our winter nights actually get chilly, and a sherpa-lined, waterproof blanket makes the fire even cozier. Spread it on damp grass or wrap up with the kids—it folds into its own pouch when you're done.
Waterproof Sherpa Outdoor Blanket
Every good backyard night needs a soundtrack. This one is loud, rugged, and fully waterproof, so a stray spark or a surprise sprinkle won't faze it. The battery easily outlasts the fire.
