Fire Pit Tables

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fire pit table?

A fire pit table is a versatile piece of outdoor furniture that combines a comfortable table surface with a built-in fire feature. It serves as a central gathering spot for your patio, providing both warmth and ambient lighting. Unlike traditional wood-burning pits, most modern versions use clean-burning gas, making them smokeless and easy to control. This type of outdoor fire pit table is the perfect addition to any backyard, seamlessly blending functionality with stylish design to enhance your outdoor living experience.

Why buy a fire pit table?

Investing in an outdoor fire pit table instantly elevates your patio, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for entertaining. It offers the dual functionality of a practical table and a cozy heat source, extending your outdoor season into cooler months. Compared to wood-burning pits, a gas fire pit table is low-maintenance, smokeless, and easy to ignite with the flip of a switch. It's a stylish and practical centerpiece that significantly boosts the comfort and appeal of your outdoor space.

What's the difference between propane and natural gas fire tables?

The primary difference lies in the fuel source and installation. A propane fire pit table is portable, connecting to a standard refillable tank, offering flexibility in placement. Conversely, a natural gas fire pit table is permanently connected to your home's gas line, providing an unlimited fuel supply. While natural gas is often more cost-effective, its installation is fixed and requires professional help. Propane offers more placement freedom, making it ideal for decks where a gas line isn't available.

What size propane tank for fire pit table?

For most residential setups, a standard 20-pound propane tank is the ideal size for a propane fire pit table. This size is portable and typically provides between 8 to 12 hours of burn time on a medium setting, perfect for an evening of entertainment. If you use your fire pit table frequently, you may consider a larger tank. Always check your specific unit's BTU rating to estimate fuel consumption accurately for your outdoor fire pit table.

How to use a fire pit table?

Using your outdoor fire pit table is simple. First, ensure it is placed on a stable, non-flammable surface, away from overhead obstructions. For a propane fire pit table, securely connect a certified propane tank to the regulator hose. Open the tank valve slowly, then use the built-in ignition to light the burner. Always follow the instructions for safe operation of your gas fire pit table. Never leave a burning fire pit unattended.
