Outdoor fire pits today
And in case you never actually were one, this is as close to it as you're ever going to get. Of course, a fire pit ring isn't quite as tame as your average barbecue set up, but at least you don't have to worry about burning down a national park. Although you might want to check your local laws regarding open blazes before you get started. Now of course, 'utility' isn't the relevant factor for buying one. A fire pit ring allows you to light a bigger, brighter flame than you could otherwise.
