+1. Fire melted marshmellows FTW.
Or, a third fire related option, a Chiminea?
My mate had a outside party and had a fire going in a metal frame ...bin... for want of a better word.
It had a metal base and sides but the sides went metal stripe - space - metal strip - space, and it didn't have a top on it.
This description is not helpful.
Basically it contained the fire
Like a chiminea but it was a lot more open.
Kept us warm.
Oh, and if marshmellows are present then hot chocolate should be too!
Also, if you have a gazebo you could hang fairy lights around the top of it!
And blankeys, luff my blankey for keeping me warm
and GLITTER! cant beat it
