Argos is selling a multi-use garden item that shoppers are praising for late summer evenings. The Argos Home Foldable Firepit is a 100% steel firepit that can be fuelled with wood or coal to provide warmth on cooler nights.
Firepit and BBQ in One
For daytime gatherings, the £50 firepit converts into a grill using the included grill plate. It also comes with a mesh spark guard and stand for added safety around children and pets. The firepit folds down for portability, making it suitable for beach trips or camping. It weighs 4kg and requires single-person assembly.
Shopper Reviews
With a 99% recommendation rate, one five-star reviewer said: "Very pleased with this fire pit. Small enough for our garden but just the right size for cooking a BBQ for two. Great that legs fold down to save space and comes with protective bag and grill racks. Definitely worth it for the price if you’re looking for something compact and simple."
Another happy buyer commented: "Really happy with this foldable firepit. It's easy to set up, feels sturdy, and works exactly as I hoped. It gives off a good amount of heat and is perfect for sitting outside in the evening. I also like that it folds away neatly, so it doesn't take up much space when not in use. Overall, a great buy and I’m very pleased with my purchase."
However, one shopper marked it down due to sturdiness, saying: "It's a good low cost alternative and does what I wanted but the legs are a bit flimsy and the metal is quite soft. Still, had a good fire in it and the griddle is handy, if you want quality though would advice getting one a bit sturdier."
