Gas fire pits from the beginning
And to make it even easier for you to cook over a roaring fire, you can simply add on some grills and a wire screen. If you're planning to do a lot of entertaining outdoors in your backyard or on your patio, you may simply want to go straight for a permanent copper fire pit. Since such fire pits are probably going to be used for cooking, you could opt to have grills permanently attached as well. As for the fuel source for your copper fire pit, wood and charcoal are the most popular options. You may also want to consider using a base of cast iron coated with heat resistant paint.
