If you’re seeking a rustic fire pit for grilling up some grub, this top-rated model from Bali Outdoors is a solid pick. It has a food-friendly design that comes with a removable and FDA-compliant alloy steel grill grate for firing up meats, veggies and more in your backyard. The grill also adjusts up and down, swings left or right and has handles at both ends. (Just make sure you wear oven mitts or protective gloves to adjust it when the flame is roaring.)
"This was fairly easy to assemble and gives off great heat, enough to keep six to seven of us warm with one bundle of wood from the grocery store," said one shopper. "I love the additional burner for grilling. We’ve cooked corn, burgers and steak on this thing, and so far so good."

This popular problem-solver has five adjustable dividers so you can neatly organize your lids by size, shape or however you'd like. No more messy stack of mystery lids taking up precious space!
"Really nice storage container for lids," wrote one happy reviewer. "Easy to put together ... fit well in [my] cupboard and helped clean up and organize the clutter."
This set is available in four colors — get it in black, green, gray (pictured) or periwinkle.
Thanks to this superb discount, this set is down to one of the best prices we've seen. You'll get 12 containers and lids for just $39 — that's $1.63 apiece. It's also available in green, gray and periwinkle collections, all within a dollar of that price.
As mentioned, these food storage containers are made of glass — but not just any glass. We're talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles. Not only does it conveniently allow you to see what's packed inside, but it's oven-safe up to an insane 1,040° Fahrenheit (without a lid) and can go in the microwave. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away.
With this set, you'll get four rectangular containers, four square containers and four round containers with capacities that range from 11 to 35 ounces. The included lids have airtight silicone seals and snap shut on each side to keep food fresh and help prevent leaks. Now you'll have ample storage for everything from leftovers to ingredients you've prepped for the week.
Nearly 11,000 Amazon customers are loving the JoyJolt food storage containers.
"Best storage containers I have ever owned, and I’m 73," shared one wowed shopper. "Needless to say, I have many. I was so tired of fighting with poor-fitting lids. These are amazingly functional."
"Absolutely love how versatile these containers are," gushed another impressed buyer. "The glass is sturdy and [the] lids are easy to clean and do not stain. Both containers and lids did well in my top rack dishwasher without any warping. I put soup in the container and flipped it upside down on my counter just to test if it would leak, and not one drop escaped through the seal."
"These are excellent quality!" exclaimed a third customer. "Honestly, I like them more than my Pyrex containers. The lids stay on well, they stack together nicely and they wash up well!
The same customer also reported, "My only complaint is the lids are annoying to store, but otherwise I love them and will be ordering more!" (Psst: Keep scrolling for a smart lid storage solution.)
Said another, "This set is really small. Great for minimal leftovers. Ideal for going into lunch boxes. But for family-sized leftovers they are too small."
As promised, here's that smart lid storage solution:
