Our favourite outdoor fires for socialising this summer

Our favourite outdoor fires for socialising this summer

June 17th at 12:00am

With the weather now representing Britain’s best and the longest day of the year nearly upon us (21st June!), we felt it would be an ideal time to highlight some of our favourite outdoor fires, as you’ll no-doubt be entertaining guests in your gardens late into the evenings.

We’ve always loved the warm company of an outdoor fire because they create a great focal point around which friends can gather and chat away. It’s a joy that no doubt dates back to our ancestors — gathering around a fire to stay warm and share stories.

Fortunately, fires are much easier to get going these days, so they’ll be no panicking over how to strike flint. Instead, it's often as easy as flicking a switch.

Scroll down the page to see what we've picked out — we hope you enjoy taking a look!

If you're still left longing for more, visit our product page for additional options (we have plenty).

Faber Mood Outdoor Fire

One of our most popular, the Faber Mood is a modern frameless gas fire. It can be used free-standing or built-in, running off the mains gas directed out into garden, or via portable bottled gas. You can choose a single-side fire or a see-through fire (like a tunnel).

• Suitable for propane, biopropane or natural gas
• Works on gas bottles or natural gas from a gas socket
• Many inset options
