In this embodiment, the bottom 100 is configured to form two combustion areas, which makes it possible to select the optimal usage method according to the purpose of the fire pit 1 and natural conditions such as weather and wind. In this embodiment, the bottom 100 is configured to be made of titanium, but is not limited to this, and any material that is heat resistant and lightweight can be appropriately selected and used. The two combustion areas will be described later.

[0014] The side walls 200a and 200b are members that also function as a hood when fuel is burned, and a pair of left and right side walls 200a and 200b are erected from the periphery of the bottom portion 100 to form a windbreak when fuel is burned on the bottom portion 100. In this embodiment, the side walls 200a and 200b are made of titanium, but the material is not limited to titanium, and any suitable material can be selected and used as long as it is heat resistant and lightweight.

[0015] The legs 300 are members for supporting the bottom 100 and providing a space between the bottom 100 and the ground, and are erected at the bottom of the fire pit 1. In this embodiment, the legs 300 are made of titanium, but are not limited to this, and any suitable material can be selected and used as long as it is heat-resistant and lightweight.

[0016] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the side walls 200a and 200b are made of two side wall members and are configured to stand along two sides of the triangular bottom 100. In this embodiment, the bottom 100 is an isosceles triangle, and the two side walls 200a and 200b, which are symmetrical about the two equilateral sides, are detachably connected and stand upright.

[0017] In this embodiment, the leg portions 300 are configured to be formed on the lower portions of the side walls 200a and 200b so as to be integrated with the side walls 200a and 200b, as shown in FIGS.
