Rank #2 in Best Fire Pit 2026: The Weight Column Decides
Yaheetech Fire Pit for Garden Hexagon, Wood Burning with Mesh Poker
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The hexagon is the best-rated fire pit collected here: 4.6 stars from 822 ratings, 78 per cent of them five-star and only 2 per cent one-star. It is 60.5cm across and 62cm tall, weighs 6.81kg, and uses six mesh walls with three V-shaped bars in the bowl to keep the fire fed with air.
It is second because the steel costs more per kilogram than the 81cm square in first place — £8.22 against £5.29 — and because mesh walls are a trade-off: more airflow and more visible fire, but sparks leave a mesh pit more readily than a solid one.
How those 822 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

Questions people ask
Why mesh walls instead of solid steel?
Airflow. A fire fed from six sides burns properly instead of smouldering, which is the usual complaint about solid-sided pits with damp wood.
Does it let sparks out?
More than a solid wall, which is why the design puts the mesh above a solid bowl and includes a poker rather than a lid.
How heavy is it?
6.81kg, substantial but movable. The 81cm square model in first place weighs 10.4kg.
Can I cook on it?
The listing sells it as a wood-burning fire bowl for warmth rather than as a barbecue; mesh walls are not a cooking surface.
Is it good value?
At £55.99 it is the most expensive steel per kilogram here at £8.22, though its rating record is the best collected.
How many ratings does it have?
822 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 78 per cent five-star and 2 per cent one-star.
