If you have a small outdoor space (like a balcony, patio, porch, deck, or backyard) and have been looking for a mini portable fire pit, you’re in the right place! City Bonfires were created by 2 Dads in Maryland looking for the same exact thing – the most compact and portable small fire pits available for tiny outdoor living spaces.

Here are a few small fire pit designs and ideas from our customers and fans who love using City Bonfires during their outdoor adventures at home.

Are Fire Pits Safe on Balconies?

“My son loves making s’mores but, we can’t always set up a fire. I ordered the birthday kit for him and we made s’mores today during a windstorm! Everything was perfect and the kit was easy to use. Thanks for an amazing product!” – ANGIE B. (site review)

Entertain With a Small Bonfire on the Deck

“I LOVE CITY BONFIRES! They’re amazing! I used them on my back deck for entertaining in my fire pit from Arhaus! A million times better than sterno!” – THEANNE G.

Tabletop Fire Pit Designs for Patios

One of our favorite designs for an outdoor tabletop fire pit for the patio comes from Mandeep Dhanoa Grewal on Pinterest. The way she uses a rectangular terracotta planter, clear fire glass, and one of our s’mores family packs (includes two City Bonfires) is gorgeous and brilliant at the same time.

City Bonfires are “Perfect” for Duplex Living

“I live in a duplex with nowhere for a firepit. My granddaughter spent the night, and this was the absolute perfect size for a few s’mores! Easy to light, easy to extinguish, and no mess!” – VIRGINIA C. (site review)

I Don’t Have Space for a Fire Pit

No problem! City Bonfires are portable and extremely lightweight. So, go ahead and take them to the curb, side yard, sidewalk, driveway, or your small backyard.
