Better Bets: “Tis the Season”

City Bonfires

Two Maryland dads came up with the idea for this personal fire pit during long periods of time at home during Covid lockdown. This handmade, reusable, mini bonfire will allow you to have a cozy s’mores night on your patio or in your backyard, with no smoke or messy ashes.

The S’mores Family Pack includes two City Bonfires, ingredients for eight s’mores and four reusable skewers.
