PIT STOP
The ubiquitous backyard fire pit has gotten a makeover of late, evolving into an artful gathering table with generous rims for resting a cocktail glass, mug or plate. For mountain homeowners prioritizing indoor-outdoor style, the Arbor Accent from Montana Fire Pits turns the tables on simple steel, softening squared-off geometry with the unexpected organic appeal of wood.
Company owner Jonathan Howie became intrigued by Minnesota-based Arbor Wood’s decay-resistant, chemical-free thermally modified wood, designing the new look to add a sustainable, minimal maintenance element that’s “unique, warm and inviting.” Hand-built in Missoula by in-house metal and wood artisans for endless customization and with a lifetime-warrantied, high-BTU brass Crossfire Burner, this luxe offering is our pick for turning up the heat on outdoor festivities.
