Fire pit skulls might not be a part of your everyday decor, but there is no doubt that they will be the center of conservation around Halloween time. Add some imitation skulls to your fire pit or fireplace to create a spooky and realistic holiday atmosphere.
Most fire pit skulls are made out of a fireproof material. This allows them to be used year after year without being destroyed by the flames. They often can be used in both gas or wood fire pits or fireplaces.
The below video shows an example of how the skulls might look in a gas fireplace. Keep in mind that these skulls are hollow, which allows the flames to come through the holes. Be aware that some skulls are not hollow, therefore they will not allow the flames to reach the interior.
Below we have compiled our picks for the best fire pit skulls. There is no doubt that these will be a major hit at your next Halloween party.
