Rank #9 in Best Fire Pit 2026: The Weight Column Decides
VonLux Portable Folding Fire Pit, 42cm Stainless Steel with Bag and Gloves
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The VonLux is the number one best seller in Amazon's outdoor fire pit category, and it costs £13.75. It is a 42cm folding stainless steel square weighing 690g, supplied with a carrying bag and gloves, rated 4.4 stars from 158 ratings.
It is ninth because of what 690g means: £19.93 per kilogram of steel, the second-highest rate in this ranking. As a picnic and camping pit it is excellent and buyers say so; as a garden fire bowl it is not the same product as the 4.5kg and 10.4kg bowls above it.
How those 158 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.
