The use of charcoal, along with the optional Outpost Grill attachment, makes the Y-series a competent barbecue. You can cook over wood as well, and the height of the grill surface is adjustable so you can keep clear of the flames. We appreciated the adjustable legs which raised the top of the fire pit up to 20 inches and made the grill surface easier to reach. Heat radiates well from the Y-Series when loaded up with logs. The 15-inch body height allowed for more heat to be felt on our lower extremities. Whether you opt for a wood-burning, gas or Bio ethanol fire pit, it’s sure to light up your garden and let you enjoy more time outside, at any time of the year. This really depends on your needs, if you want a fire pit that can be regularly moved, is low maintenance and clean, we’d recommend a gas fire pit. If you don’t mind cleaning up ash and the smoky aroma, a wood-burning fire pit is hard to beat.
