Why Choose a Gas Fire Pit?
Gas fire pits offer top-notch convenience and comfort while giving you a natural entertaining area. They’re among the best ways to heat your outdoor living space, and guests will love gathering around a fire without smelling like smoke. Additionally, patio gas fire pits are safe and easy to use, provide a clean burn, and leave no messy soot or ash to clean. On top of that, gas firepit tables offer extra customization around the burner with different kinds of filler like lava rocks, fire glass, and ornaments.
With a gas fire pit, you can achieve a steady and satisfying flame, sometimes with ignition being as quick as the push of a button! Get the flames typically found in a wood burning fire pit without the hassle of collecting wood and starting the fire. You get warmth and beautiful flame aesthetics for less than half the effort! Gas fire pits are even safe to use when a wood-burning ban is in place in your area.
Gas Outdoor Fire Pit Materials & Finishes
Outdoor gas fire pits are available in a variety of finishes and materials. Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is very common and very durable and can be found in many shapes and sizes - but typically rectangular or square. They do tend to be somewhat pricier, but they will give you many years of use. Stainless Steel is also popular, durable, and long-lasting. Aluminum and cast aluminum work great in outdoor applications – it’s low-maintenance and won’t rust. Other materials include steel, copper, polyresin, and faux stone.
Fire pits for propane and natural gas come with many color and finish options, ranging from white or black to stainless steel or antique bronze. You’ll find a lot of grey tones, and copper is loved due to the natural patina that develops. In addition, some gas fire pits come with an array of natural and faux stone finishes.
Propane vs Natural Gas
The difference in cost varies depending on the price of natural gas in your area, so the biggest factor to consider when deciding between a natural gas and propane fire pit is availability. Natural gas is likely the better option if you already have a natural gas line installed in your home — if not, you’ll need to hire a professional to plumb for gas and get everything set up. Because of this, propane is generally the way to go for homeowners without a natural gas connection.
Portability is the other big difference between natural gas and propane. Natural gas fire pits are hooked up to a gas line, meaning they can’t be moved once they’ve been installed. Propane fire pits, on the other hand, run on portable tanks and can be placed just about anywhere in your backyard.
