Our Story
Backyard Toasty started as a passion project for our Virginia-based family of fire pit enthusiasts. After years of trial and error with different fire pits, fuel types, and setups, we realized there was a real need for practical, no-nonsense advice in this space.
What began as sharing tips with neighbors and friends has grown into a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor fire experience. We test products, research best practices, and share what actually works – not just what sounds good in theory.
Our team brings together decades of hands-on experience with fire pits, outdoor cooking, and backyard entertaining. We’re not just writing about this stuff – we live it every chance we get.
