The New Firepit Essentials

Firepit

Georgia’s Sea Island Forge fire kettle checks every box for a Southerner. Inspired by kettles used to make cane syrup in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century South, the deep, wide ductile-cast-iron construction allows a fire to breathe, and the clever stand includes a hand-twisted boot rail on which to prop your feet. A handy spark screen keeps the blaze in check. Consider this your new family heirloom ($2,610; ggfieldshop.com).

Chairs

Relaxing by a fire when the weather finally breaks is one of the great pleasures of the season. Do so in comfort in these camp-inspired chairs by Hay. Powder-coated steel protects the frames from the elements, and cushions crafted from quilted Teflon-coated fabric are equal parts strong and soft ($75 each; us.hay.com).
