Lodge 0.35 Liter / 12 Ounce Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Mini Serving Bowl, Black

Product Information

At 35kg it’s a reassuringly solid fixture, but far from portable. Fortunately, a waterproof cover for protection from the elements is included while it’s not in use. Make a hole in the middle of the base the pit will sit on and fill it with gravel to help drain rain water; then cover the entire base area with gravel. So much smaller in real life than the image may perceive, but that can only be a good thing as it will encourage smaller garden birds to use it rather than the nuisance crows or pigeons - as they sense its not a staple unit. But let me make my case for this highly practical, yet extremely versatile bird bath on a stake as way to use as a water source, offer wild bird food or simply impale into the ground for ornamental purpose only.

Warm up your outdoor space with the Isla Cast Iron Fire Bowl, a versatile and practical addition to any garden setting. Every kitchen should have at least one cast iron pan. And if you care for it well it will last a lifetime.If safety is a priority, a patio heater should give you much more peace of mind. They usually come with grills and screens to shield the heat and will automatically switch off if they overheat, as well as turning the gas off if the flame goes out. Plus, there will be no ash and embers to worry about. This low-standing, steel fire pit will provide 360 degrees of wood-burning fire. It has three legs, as well as handles, so it can easily be manoeuvred around the garden and you can cook food over it if you want. Overall, you end up with a cast iron bird bath that offers the right balance between bowl and base, to withstand windy conditions. Fallen Fruits: Cast Iron Bird Bath on Pole

A BBQ fire pit is a great multifunctional tool, in that you can use it for flame-grill cooking as well as warmth (perfect if you're short on space). It makes an interesting centrepiece for any garden event, and if you opt for a larger than average pit, it can accommodate food for big parties. Most are powered with bio-ethanol, which means it won’t create smoke and should be easy to switch on and off. It should also have some type of safety screen or glass surrounding it. If one were to imagine what a cast iron bird bath on a stand would really look like, surely something like this would come to mind.Gas patio heaters are one of the worst in terms of energy efficiency and the amount of CO2 emissions they emit. They are also pretty pricey. You can get a variety of designs, including coffee tables, dining tables and high-top tables; they’re almost always powered by gas or electric, but you can get wood-burning ones, too. We list brands to buy in our garden furniture buying guide. Our range of cast iron cookware includes classic cast iron frying pans, casserole dishes and dutch ovens, as well as more specialist Skeppshult cast iron products such as spice grinders, waffle irons and dumpling pans. Chimineas are front-loading, freestanding fireplaces with a round bottom and a vertical chimney. Typically they're made of clay, cast iron or steel and come in a variety of sizes – opt for a model that you can cook on, too.

Oh no, I've reverted to offering up a cast iron bird bath again that is the impale kind rather than the much preferred classic stand option. A portable fire pit will typically be small- to medium-sized and might come with a grill to cook on. Always try to use a safety screen to prevent getting burnt by flying sparks. Ideal if you like to go camping or you don’t want the fire pit to be a permanent fixture in your garden. Portable fire pits should be lightweight, and preferably have wheels and/or a carry case to make it easy to manoeuvre and store.Fueled by firewood, charcoal or gas, a fire pit provides plenty of warmth, a little bit of excitement (it is fire, after all!) and, if paired with a grill, can even be used to rustle up food for all the family. Their self-contained designs make them safer than a bonfire and more versatile than a traditional barbecue – and let’s be fair, “let’s all sit around the barbecue tonight” doesn’t have quite the same cachet. But where the three tallest can be more appealing to you, remember this refers to the impale type of bird bath only - not the traditional bird baths on a stand.

While almost all fire pits are designed to resist the elements, if you plan on leaving it out all year round it certainly doesn’t hurt to keep it covered while not in use. A rain cover will protect the pit’s finish whilst also stopping it from collecting rainwater and debris. Some firepits ship with a cover as standard but aftermarket fire pit covers are also available. This monster of a grill weighs over 30kg and is fantastic at retaining and evenly distributingheat. Even with a moderate fire below, the grill gets plenty hot enough to cook on and even boil a pot of water. The kit includes two kidney shape sections. The left side is a flat griddle plate and the right is an enamelled grill which features a circular spot which is perfect for pots. Each grill can be removed with its own cast iron handle. We would suggest keeping these parts indoors when not in use. However, if you do leave them outsidethe best protection for them is to rub them down with olive oil. The grill frame can be left outside all year round. The Standing tall at 51cm, the bird bath bowl sits on top of a decorative stand which then fits onto a detailed rounded base. Holes, or gaps around the rim are only there as decoration and so too is the ornamental wild bird happily perched - quite a big one he his too I might add. You may be limited to only positioning this cast iron bird bath on a stake to a lawn or soil patch - so remember its not for those with a patio location to spare only.

No outdoor heater is ‘good’ for the environment. Unfortunately, wrapping yourself up in a blanket or throwing on an extra jumper is the only real eco-friendly way to stay warm in your garden. The flames are powered through gas that you can easily switch on and off. You can get portable models, however most gas fire pits tend to be permanent –and they can be expensive. Built with convenience and aesthetics in mind, gas fire pits are normally impressively designed around pebbles, faux wood or glass.
