Abstract: A fire pit support is used between a fire pit and the underlying support surface. The fire pit support provides a heat shield that carries the fire pit above the underlying support surface while allowing air to circulate between the support surface and the heat shield. The fire pit support provides a raised lip about the perimeter of the heat shield to prevent the fire pit from unintentionally sliding off the edge of the fire pit support. The fire pit support includes water drainage openings that allow water to drain through the fire pit support. The drainage openings are configured to minimize heat that passes through the heat shield. The fire pit support can be shipped to the end user in a disassembled condition and readily erected by the end user using a typical screwdriver.

Abstract: Furniture useful around fire pits include an accessory mount to allow items such as a tray or grill to be mounted to the furniture in both useful and storage positions. The accessory mount is repositionably carried on an armrest or table edge. The position of the mount can be changed along the length of the armrest or table edge. The mount assembly allows the accessory to pivot when in the useful position. A cup holder also can be repositionably carried by the armrest or the table edge. A table has storage areas for a fire pit griddle and fire pit cover.

Abstract: A cooking plate is mountable to and removable from a fire pit. The cooking plate includes support tabs that position the cooking plate above the upper rim of the fire pit to provide even heating to the cooking plate while securing it in place with respect to the fire pit. The cooking plate can be placed on the fire pit after the fire has been started and removed while the fire is burning. The cooking plate has support tabs that each has an angled surface to allow the cooking plate to be leveled with respect to the fire pit. The cooking plate is ring-shaped and provides a central opening for the flame of the fire pit. The cooking plate defines an indentation that accommodates an accessory post of the fire pit.
