Spark up some outdoor magic this winter with a Glow fire pit.

 

Hot favourite

Few things beat the feeling of contentment you get from sitting around an open fire on a chilly night, enjoying the flickering flames and a cosy social get-together. With Glow’s stylish range of fire pits, it’s easy to get that sense of enjoyment at home.

Rekindle the spark

Fire pits have a magnetic effect. The magic of dancing flames draws people in and inspires connection with family and friends. Glow’s 'Acheron' fire pit is perfect for a party under the stars, toasting marshmallows and soaking up the ambience.

Fuel and tools

A neatly stacked wood pile is a joy to behold, even for the relatively small amounts you’ll need for your fire pit. Think of your wood store as a design feature and make the most of Glow’s stylish log holders. Alternatively, consider the compact 'Tambo' fire pit, which has a built-in log storage compartment and is perfect for small spaces. Keep the flames burning with the handy ‘Stoked’ fire tools range.

When it comes to chopping wood, you want a tool that can handle the toughest jobs. Cyclone tools all come with polished, one-piece, drop-forged, high-carbon steel blades, hardwood handles and a lifetime guarantee. 

The polished axe is a great general-purpose model. It’s a good choice for felling, chopping and trimming large/medium branches and trees. The heavy-duty blocksplitter has a chisel-shaped cutting edge and an impact-absorbing, industrial grade collar; use this one to split hardwoods. With its durable one-piece head and handle, the Cyclone ‘All Steel’ sheath hatchet is ideal for cutting small logs and branches into kindling to get your fire pit glowing.

Keep in mind...

  • Safety tip: Always place your fire pit on a level, non-combustible surface well away from flammable structures. Never leave a lit fire unattended. Supervise children and pets at all times (a fire pit can become hot during and after use), and always have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby. Check with your local council for regulations around fire pits and their use in your area. If you are using a fire pit away from your home (while camping, for example), be aware of bushfire risks and outdoor fire regulations in your location.
  • Always check the manufacturer’s safety and set-up advice.  
  • Burn dry, sustainably forested timber. Don’t burn chemically treated wood (painted, stained or treated with preservative), garbage or plastic. 
  • Some products are not available at all Bunnings stores, but may be ordered.
