Which BonFeu Fire Pit Should I Buy?
Which BonFeu Should You Choose?
If you have been looking at BonFeu, you may have noticed there is quite a lot of choice.
There are open fire bowls, taller outdoor fireplaces and designs that are made with cooking in mind. Some are simple and compact, while others are designed to become a much larger feature in the garden.
So rather than asking which BonFeu is the best, it is more useful to ask:
What do you actually want to use it for?
If You Mainly Want to Enjoy the Fire
If you picture evenings sitting around the flames, a traditional fire bowl could be a good starting point.
The BonBowl and BonBowl Plus ranges have an open design that puts the fire at the centre. They are available in different sizes, so you can choose something that works with the amount of space you have.
The smaller models can suit more compact areas, while larger bowls can become a focal point around which you arrange your seating.

If You Prefer a Taller Design
Perhaps you want something that feels a little different from a traditional bowl.
The BonVes range has a taller, more distinctive shape and can also be used for outdoor cooking with compatible accessories.
It is worth considering if you want the fire to have more of a vertical presence in the garden.
If You Like the Look of an Outdoor Fireplace
BonFeu also makes several taller outdoor fireplace designs, including the BonTon, BonGiro and BonPyra.
These have a different look from the open bowl designs and can make a strong feature in an outdoor space.
The BonTon is available in several sizes, while the BonGiro and BonPyra offer their own distinctive shapes.

If Cooking Is Just as Important as the Fire
If you are likely to spend as much time cooking as you are sitting around the flames, it is worth looking at BonFeu's cooking focused options.
The BonBono combines an outdoor fireplace with a grill, giving you a straightforward way to cook over the fire.
For a larger cooking setup, the BonBiza range combines a fire bowl with a BBQ plancha. There are also open and island versions, including models with additional table space.
This makes the BonBiza particularly interesting if your garden is going to be used for outdoor cooking and entertaining as much as relaxing.

BonFeu also offers separate cooking accessories such as grills, planchas and skewers for compatible models.
How Much Space Do You Have?
It is easy to concentrate on how a product looks and forget about the space around it.
Before choosing a model, measure the area where you plan to use it. Think about your seating, how people will move around the garden and whether you need additional room for cooking or serving food.
A smaller bowl may be all you need for a compact patio, while a larger model or cooking station will need more room to feel comfortable.
What Style Suits Your Garden?
This is where the BonFeu range gives you plenty of choice.
An open BonBowl can give you a simple centrepiece.
A taller BonVes or outdoor fireplace can create more of a statement.
A BonBiza can become part of the cooking and entertaining area rather than simply somewhere to have a fire.
Think about the rest of your garden too. The finish, shape and size should work with your existing furniture and surroundings.
Do You Need Cooking Accessories?
If you already have a particular model in mind, check which accessories are designed to work with it.
Depending on the model, you may be able to add a grill, plancha or other cooking equipment.
This is worth considering before buying, especially if you know you would like to cook outdoors regularly.

Finding the Right Fit
There is no single BonFeu model that will suit every garden.
The best choice comes down to how you want to use your outdoor space. If you mainly want to sit around a fire, a bowl may be all you need. If you want something more architectural, an outdoor fireplace could be a better fit. And if cooking is going to be a big part of your outdoor gatherings, a cooking focused design may make more sense.
Take a look at the different styles, consider the space you have available and think about how you are most likely to spend your time outdoors.
That should make choosing the right BonFeu much easier.
