The defining feature of '''fire pits''' is that they are designed to contain [[fire]] and prevent it from spreading. A fire pit can vary from a pit dug in the ground ('''fire hole''') to an elaborate gas burning structure of stone, brick, and metal. Certain contemporary fire pit styles include '''fire bowls''' that can either be set in the ground or elevated on legs.{{fact|date=October 2023}} '''Fire rings''' are also frequently included as types of fire pits; these aboveground structures serve the same function.
