Brian and Sarah Evans, owners and creators of Simply Lit Fire Pots, have turned a simple backyard idea into a full-time passion. Nestled in the west side of Cullman County, this husband-and-wife duo crafts unique concrete fire pots that burn cleanly using only 91% rubbing alcohol — offering a warm, inviting glow without the hassle of traditional fires.

What started as a way to enjoy quiet evenings by the fire without the work of a traditional fire, quickly became a growing business. As parents to their five-year-old daughter, Brian and Sarah wanted an easy-to-use alternative to traditional fire options. With Brian’s background in crafting concrete and Sarah’s keen eye for design, Simply Lit Fire Pots was born. Now, even their daughter plays a role, happily assisting her dad with pot-making as part of their homeschooling experience. Each fire pot is meticulously handmade by Brian, ensuring a one-of-a-kind piece built to last.

Their designs include:

The Phoenix (4” x 5”) – A compact, 7-pound fire pot that burns for approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

The Sasquatch (8” x 5”) – A larger, 15-pound pot that burns for up to an hour.

Crafted from solid concrete, each pot features a center reservoir for easy alcohol pouring and comes with a stylish concrete lid, making it both a functional fire source and an elegant decor piece. The flame ignites easily with a stick lighter, burning cleanly above the pot using natural evaporation. Whether on a patio, deck, porch or dock, Simply Lit Fire Pots provide a beautiful ambiance for any gathering. Perfect for roasting marshmallows, sipping coffee at sunrise or relaxing under the stars, these fire pots create cherished moments of warmth and togetherness.

“We want people to enjoy the light and simplicity of Simply Lit Fire Pots wherever they are and with those special to them,” Sarah Evans said. “It’s an honor to create a handmade product that helps families make memories and spend quality time together.”
