You can enjoy time outdoors at home this fall without having a fire pit or a patio heater to stay warm. Here are a few other options to stay cozy on chilly nights.
Heated Seats and Cushions
When you think of heated seats and heated seat cushions you might imagine sports fans and game hunters trying to stay warm in stadium stands and deer stands. But who says you can’t use these tricks at home? On some nights all you may need might be a heated seat or a cushion to take the chill off and keep you sitting in the lap of luxury.
Electric Blankets
Heated blankets aren’t just for beds. A large blanket can keep you, or you and your significant other, warm in the evening air. Lots of electric blankets on the market operate using Bluetooth technology so you can manage the settings using a smartphone.
Hand Warmers
Once you and your guests have drained your mugs of hot chocolate, reusable hand warmers can be the perfect substitute. Warmers that can be boiled to renew their heating mechanisms can be a great choice, and some on the market can last for hours. Battery-powered warmers can work just was well. Hand them out to your guests.
Chimineas
You may be wondering how chimineas made this list, since it’s supposed to be alternatives to fire pits. Well, chimineas aren’t exactly the same as fire pits. Just in case you’re not familiar with chimineas, sometimes spelled chimeneas, they are freestanding terracotta, clay, or cast iron fireplaces that are front-loaded with firewood. They have circular bodies—like pot bellies. The main distinction between a chiminea and a regular fire pit is that the chiminea has a chimney or vertical smoke vent, which makes it so that smoke is diverted up and away from you and your guests and not out through its sides. This allows you to enjoy the warmth without smoke burning your eyes. So yeah, chimineas. Why not.
