Fire pits.

Three primary categories: gas (natural gas line, fixed location), propane (refillable tanks, portable), and wood-burning (open flame, traditional). Plus fire pit tables that combine fire feature with usable surface. Each category has different install requirements and operating costs.

Most fire pits require a non-combustible base — concrete pavers, stone, or steel heat shield. Wood decks need protective measures: a deck protector mat (rated to 600°F+) or a stone/paver pad under the pit. Always check the manufacturer's clearance requirements.

Yes — typical gas fire pits run 40,000-65,000 BTU, enough to warm a small seating area to 60-70°F when ambient is 35-45°F. Wind reduces effective heat significantly; sheltered patios get more use from the same BTU output.

Local rules vary widely. Many jurisdictions require permits for permanent installations (gas line, masonry construction); portable propane fire pits are typically exempt. Always check your city/county building department before installing.

Fire pits carry the manufacturer’s own warranty, and the term differs by brand and by component — burner, frame and ignition module are often covered for different lengths of time. Ask us and we will send the terms that apply to your unit in writing before you order. Our own warranty page covers the products we build.
