Product details

OverviewProduct details and key features

Create a comfortable place to gather with a round fire bowl that fits naturally into a seating area. The 36-inch Chat pairs a sculpted concrete form with a matching cover for a finished look when the fire is off.

Choose the look of your fire feature

Select one of seven handcrafted finishes to complement your patio. The product photo shows Cafe Blanco; other finish selections change the ordered finish. Handcrafted surfaces can vary slightly in texture and color.

Fuel and ignition

Choose natural gas or propane to match your supply. These models do not hold a propane cylinder inside the bowl or table; plan the external gas supply with your installer.

Manual control with spark ignition offers operation at the unit. Choose FyreStarter for electronic ignition and Bluetooth control; it requires a 120 V AC electrical supply. The selected option changes the complete factory model and price.

What is included

Fire feature with the selected factory burner and control system, plus the supplied lava-granule base media. A matching GFRC burner cover is included. Decorative primary media must be selected separately using the manufacturer’s approved media quantities. Propane cylinder, optional fabric cover and wind guard are not included.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked

Wood, gas, or propane — which fire pit is right for me?

Wood-burning fire pits give the most authentic crackle and smoke smell — but require seasoned firewood and produce ash. Natural gas fire pits run from a fixed gas line for unlimited burn time, instant on/off, no ash — require a gas plumber for install. Propane (LP) fire pits use a refillable tank, fully portable, also instant on/off — tank lasts roughly 8–14 hours on average use.

Where can I install a fire pit?

Most fire pits are designed for outdoor use only — on a non-combustible surface (stone patio, concrete, gravel, or fire-rated paver). Maintain at least 10 feet of clearance from buildings, fences, overhangs, and combustible vegetation. Check local fire ordinances; some HOAs and municipalities restrict open flame outdoors. Never use indoors — CO and combustion byproducts make this unsafe.

Can I use a fire pit on my wood deck?

Only with a fire-rated heat shield mat underneath and a unit specifically rated for deck use. Many wood-burning pits should not be used on wood decks at all due to ember escape risk. Gas and propane pits with sealed bottoms and proper heat shields are safer for decks — but always check the manufacturer's clearance requirements and your local code.

How long does a propane tank last?

A standard 20 lb propane tank typically powers a fire pit for 8–14 hours at full output, depending on the BTU rating of the burner. At lower flame settings, you can stretch this to 16+ hours. To extend tank life: lower the flame, use a wind guard to reduce gas waste, and turn off when not actively in use.

Free shipping and warranty?

Free freight shipping on all fire pits within the contiguous US. Most fire pits carry a 1–5 year manufacturer warranty (varies by model — full warranty terms on each product page). 30-day return window on unused units. White-glove delivery on heavier models.
