A fire basket, drinks crate, BBQ and outdoor companion in one. The Höfats BEER BOX Fire Basket combines clever multifunctional design with the character of Corten steel, creating a portable fire basket that is made for spontaneous outdoor gatherings.
Inspired by the classic drinks crate, BEER BOX can transport your drinks before becoming the centre of the evening around the fire. Add the optional BEER BOX Cooking Grid and it transforms into a compact wood-burning BBQ, giving you an easy way to cook outdoors as well as enjoy the warmth and atmosphere of a real fire.
More than a fire basket
The clever design of BEER BOX means it can be used in several different ways.
Use it as a wood-burning fire basket for evenings around the fire, as a drinks crate when heading outdoors, or add the optional Cooking Grid to turn it into a compact BBQ.
With the separately available BEER BOX Board, it can also be transformed into a practical seat or surface.
Its integrated bottle opener is an especially useful finishing touch for outdoor entertaining.
A portable fire for outdoor adventures
BEER BOX is designed to be easy to transport, making it ideal for gardens, patios, camping trips, picnics and outdoor gatherings.
The practical handles make it easy to carry, while its compact proportions mean it can be transported and stored without taking up excessive space.
The supplied cardboard bottle inlay can hold up to 24 × 330 ml bottles, making BEER BOX particularly well suited to outdoor entertaining before the fire is even lit.
Corten steel with a living patina
The BEER BOX is made from 2 mm thick Corten steel, a durable steel designed to develop a distinctive rust-coloured patina when exposed to the elements.
Rather than being a flaw, the changing appearance is part of the character of Corten steel. Over time, the surface develops a unique patina, meaning every BEER BOX acquires its own individual appearance.
The steel is also highly durable and recyclable, making it well suited to a product designed for years of outdoor use.
Turn BEER BOX into a BBQ
When the fire is burning, add the separately available Höfats BEER BOX Cooking Grid to transform the fire basket into a compact wood-burning BBQ.
The stainless-steel Cooking Grid has integrated handles, making it easy to position and remove from the BEER BOX.
This gives you the freedom to use the same product as a fire basket for one occasion and an outdoor grill for another.
Designed for sharing
BEER BOX is made for spontaneous outdoor gatherings. Fill it with drinks, take it outside, light a fire and settle around the flames.
Its compact, multifunctional design makes it particularly useful when space and portability matter, while its distinctive industrial aesthetic makes it an attractive addition to a garden, patio or terrace.
A fire basket with a difference
The BEER BOX is more than a conventional fire pit. It is a multifunctional outdoor product designed to adapt to the occasion.
Use it as:
Fire basket – enjoy a real wood fire outdoors
Drinks crate – transport up to 24 × 330 ml bottles
BBQ – add the optional Cooking Grid
Seat or surface – add the optional BEER BOX Board
Wood box – store firewood when not in use
Transport and storage box - practical throughout the year

Höfats BEER BOX Fire Basket
What is the Höfats BEER BOX?
The Höfats BEER BOX is a multifunctional Corten steel outdoor fire basket that can also be used as a drinks crate, BBQ, wood box and, with the appropriate accessory, a seat or surface.
Is the BEER BOX a fire pit?
Yes. BEER BOX functions as a wood-burning fire basket, providing a compact and portable way to enjoy an outdoor fire.
Can I use the BEER BOX as a BBQ?
Yes. The separately available BEER BOX Cooking Grid transforms the fire basket into a compact wood-burning BBQ.
Is the Cooking Grid included?
No. The BEER BOX Cooking Grid is sold separately.
How many bottles fit inside the BEER BOX?
The supplied cardboard bottle inlay can accommodate up to 24 × 330 ml bottles.
Does the BEER BOX have a bottle opener?
Yes. It has an integrated bottle opener built into the box.
What is the BEER BOX made from?
The BEER BOX is made from 2 mm thick Corten steel. The material develops a distinctive rust-coloured patina over time.
Will the BEER BOX rust?
Yes, Corten steel is designed to develop a natural rust patina. This is an intentional characteristic of the material rather than a defect. The patina gives each BEER BOX its own appearance over time.
Can the BEER BOX be left outside?
It is designed for outdoor use, but Höfats recommends storing fire baskets somewhere dry and protected when possible to maintain their appearance and longevity. Exposure to rain will accelerate the development of the Corten patina.
Can I use the BEER BOX on decking?
Because the BEER BOX generates intense heat, it should not be placed directly on heat-sensitive surfaces such as wooden or WPC decking. Use a suitable stable, non-combustible surface and follow the manufacturer's safety guidance.
Can the BEER BOX be used as a seat?
Yes, when combined with the separately available BEER BOX Board, it can be transformed into a practical seat or surface.
Can the BEER BOX be used to store firewood?
Yes. Its box format makes it useful for storing or transporting firewood when it isn't being used as a fire basket.
