How to Choose the Right Gas Fire Pit
A gas fire pit gives you instant flame with no wood to haul and no ash to clean up. Here’s how to find the right one for your outdoor space.
Pick your shape and height. Low profile fire pits pair well with lounge seating, chat height gas fire tables work with deep patio chairs, and long linear fire pits fit narrow patios or line a seating wall.
Choose propane or natural gas. Propane fire pits can be set up almost anywhere, and select models store the tank inside for a clean look. Natural gas fire pits connect to your home’s gas line, so you never run out mid-conversation.
Choose your ignition. Match light ignition is simple and reliable. Electronic and Bluetooth ignition let you start your fire with the push of a button or from your phone.
Plan your install. Natural gas lines and 120V electronic ignition typically require a licensed contractor. Share your fire pit’s specs early so installation goes smoothly.
Which Fire Pit Is Right for You?
If you want a durable statement piece, a concrete gas fire pit made from GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete) is built to handle the elements. If you want to rearrange your patio often, a lightweight fire pit is easier to move. If you host big groups, a high-BTU fire table puts out more flame and more warmth. And if you’re building a custom fire feature, a gas fire pit burner kit gives you commercial-grade flame for your own design.
