Fire rings with cooking grates help to make a camping experience more enjoyable...and safe

Fire rings combine the ability to conveniently prepare your meals directly at your campsite, socializing around a campfire with a safe fire enclosure that is a popular way to relax with neighbors, family, and friends at a park or campground.
