Ever lit your fire pit and spent the whole night coughing through smoke, or watched the flames die before you finished your first drink?

🔥Nine times out of ten, it's not the fire pit.

Our new guide breaks down the best firewood for fire pits in Australia, including:🪵 The top woods to burn (redgum, ironbark and more)

🚫 What to avoid (and why some of it's actually dangerous)

✅ How to tell if your wood is properly seasoned

Get more heat, less smoke, and longer nights around the fire.

We were stoked to be back on national TV this week, featured once again on The Today Show at Summer Land Camels as part of Australian Made Campaign Week 2025 — and yep, we definitely brought the heat.

It’s the second time we’ve been invited on the show, and it’s always an absolute buzz. Huge thanks to Tim Davies and the whole TODAY crew — they’re genuinely down-to-earth legends who go out of their way to support Aussie businesses like ours. We’re incredibly grateful to be part of it again.

Can fire pit rocks explode?

I would say that every week here at MAX Firepits, we get about 20 emails and phone calls asking the same question; “Can fire pit rocks explode?”

As we all know, outdoor fire pits offer a unique blend of warmth and ambience, inviting us to gather for stories, laughter, and marshmallow roasting. However, there lurks a potential danger many of us overlook: the danger of exploding rocks. Yikes!
