The Best Fire Pit Accessories to Elevate Your Space for Summer

Buying a fire pit is only part of creating a space you’ll want to return to all summer. Without the right accessories, that centerpiece quickly becomes a source of frustration. Flames won’t stay lit. Ash gets everywhere. The ambiance you imagined doesn’t quite come together.

Firegear understands that reliable performance starts with thoughtful details. Every accessory we design is made to solve real problems, not just decorate your patio. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, the right tools can help you get more comfort, control, and consistency from your fire feature.

Start with What Most Setups Miss

A strong foundation begins with accessories that solve the most common issues: wind, weather, and fire control. These aren’t luxuries. They’re practical upgrades that make a noticeable difference from day one.

Block the Wind

Even a light breeze can interfere with your flame. A tempered glass wind guard surrounds the burner and keeps the flame steady, improving performance and safety. Firegear’s models are built specifically for our burner systems and framed for a clean, modern look.

Shut It Down Safely

At the end of the night, having a way to safely extinguish the fire matters. A snuffer lid lets you cut off oxygen quickly without scattering ash or debris. Once the fire is out, add a weatherproof cover to protect the burner system from moisture and dirt.

Choose Better Media

The media inside your burner does more than catch the eye. It influences heat retention, airflow, and flame shape. Firegear offers a wide range of tested options, from reflective glass to hand-crafted ceramic river rocks. Each is built to perform under direct flame and outdoor exposure.

Recommended media types from Firegear:

• Lava Stones: For natural texture and strong heat dispersion
• Reflective Fire Glass: For a more radiant, vibrant flame
• Ceramic River Rocks: Designed to mimic nature while staying durable

Find them all in our Media Jewelry collection.

Solve the Most Common Flame Problems

One of the top reasons people contact us is a fire pit that won't stay lit. This issue almost always stems from airflow disruptions or a poor setup.

If you’ve experienced this, a few upgrades can help right away:

• Use a wind guard to protect the flame from gusts
• Select proper media that allows enough airflow and consistent gas flow
• Start with Firegear’s SureStart fire starter, designed to ignite cleanly and consistently

These tools work together to create a more dependable flame that responds well to ignition and fuel adjustments.

Make Clean-Up Faster and Safer

Summer nights around the fire are better without a long cleanup the next morning. However, without the right maintenance gear, leftover ash and debris can build up fast.

Here’s how to simplify the process:

• Use a heat-resistant ash scoop or vacuum to remove waste after cooling
• Wear protective gloves when handling hot parts or media
• Keep your burner covered when not in use to prevent debris from accumulating
• Use a tank enclosure to keep propane protected and out of sight

Every Firegear accessory is designed for long-term use. Its design includes heat resistance, easy handling, and compatibility with our burner systems.

Plan Ahead for Cooking Nights

Roasting marshmallows over the flame is easy, but grilling a meal requires a bit more preparation. If you plan to cook over your fire pit this summer, having the right accessories ensures the experience stays safe and enjoyable.

Consider adding:

• A removable cooking grate that fits your burner size
• Long-handled roasting sticks with heat-resistant grips
• A protective barrier or drip tray to avoid flare-ups
• Cooking gloves or tongs designed for high-heat handling

Always follow Firegear’s safety instructions and check if your burner is compatible with direct-contact cooking tools. Not all media and burners are intended for food-related use, so it’s worth checking specs before starting a grill session.

Add Comfort and Style Without Sacrificing Function

A fire pit is more than a heat source—it's the heart of your outdoor setting. Accessories help make it a space people want to linger in.

Minor upgrades that make a big difference:

• Media that reflect or refract flame light, like crushed glass or polished beads
• Glass wind guards that add a subtle design element
• LED-lit models like the Kalea Bay Fireplace create a glow and ambiance after dark
• Concealed tank enclosures that double as end tables or side surfaces

Accessories like these not only help your fire pit look finished, but they also help keep your space functional and tidy.

Shop Smart from the Start

There’s no shortage of fire pit accessories on the market, but not every product is built to last. Mismatched materials, poor heat resistance, or the wrong fit can all cause headaches later.

Before adding to your setup, keep these tips in mind:

• Stick with stainless steel, tempered glass, or ceramic-rated materials
• Make sure accessories are compatible with your specific burner or fire pit shape
• Avoid generic kits—choose products designed by the same brand as your fire feature
• Look for accessories that offer both utility and durability

Firegear accessories are made to work with Firegear systems. No guessing. No makeshift adjustments. Just quality you can count on, designed and tested in real-world conditions.

What Works for You?

Every outdoor space is different, but the goal stays the same: a fire pit that lights easily, runs smoothly, and becomes where people want to gather. The best fire pit accessories aren't flashy—they're the ones that solve problems, support your setup, and keep you in control.

Firegear builds each product with that in mind. Whether you're upgrading a backyard, rooftop, or patio fire feature, we help you make the most of every summer evening.
