Question 1

What is a boma fire pit?

Accepted Answer

A boma fire pit is an outdoor wood-burning fire feature designed to be the centrepiece of a boma or lapa — a circular gathering space. Ours come as steel smokeless bowls, decorative mosaic pits and cast fire slabs, all built for South African outdoor living.

Question 2

How much does a boma fire pit cost in South Africa?

Accepted Answer

Boma fire pits range from around R3,500 for entry-level steel bowls up to R25,000+ for large mosaic and slab units. Progress Group stocks the full range with delivery across Cape Town and the Western Cape — request a quote for current pricing including VAT.

Question 3

Are smokeless fire pits actually smokeless?

Accepted Answer

Smokeless fire pits (like the Eros range) use a double-wall airflow design that reburns smoke before it escapes. With dry hardwood you get a near-clean flame — perfect for patios, decks and enclosed bomas.

Question 4

Do you deliver boma fire pits outside Cape Town?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver boma fire pits across the Western Cape — Cape Town, Bellville, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Somerset West, Worcester, Robertson, Hermanus and Langebaan — with national courier options on request.

Question 5

Can I use a boma fire pit under a lapa or thatch roof?

Accepted Answer

Only with correct clearance and a spark-arrestor lid. We recommend our enclosed smokeless models under covered lapas — talk to us before ordering if you're installing under thatch.
