Benefits of an Outdoor Fire Pit
Gas fire pits are a great way to upgrade your experience outdoors, enhancing the atmosphere of your backyard, deck or patio. The modern take on the classic fire pit, natural gas and propane gas fire pits offer more convenience and safety. Creating the ideal campfire setup for the summertime and well beyond the summer months, the campfire ambiance provides warmth and comfort year-round. A gas fire pit truly does create a space that makes get-togethers that much more memorable.
Convenient
Once it's hooked up to a natural gas or propane source, a beautiful fire is ready at any time, and you don't have to worry about building a fire or dealing with wet logs.
Safe
If installed properly, propane and natural gas fire pits can be much safer than wood because the flames aren't as large and uncontrollable, making them great for suburbs, condos or apartments.
Technology
Innovation has been a constant process in the gas fire pit industry since the start, and here at Firepits Direct, we carry the brands who have been leading the charge. The inclusion of things like electronic ignitions, home automation integration and state-of-the-art materials has made patio gas fire pits better than they've ever been.
Heating
With the sometimes chilly temperatures of late spring and early fall, it can be challenging to get the most out of an outdoor patio or backyard space, depending on where you live. A powerful gas fire pit outdoors can change that. The heat of the flames can keep you and your guests comfortable even when the temperatures dip in the evening, allowing you to get the most value out of your investment.
Clean
The efficient fuel source is clean burning with no smoky smell.
What to Consider When Buying a Gas Fire Pit
Media
It’s important to remember that you shouldn’t use wood with outdoor gas fire pits. They are not designed to withstand the heat and weight of burning wood logs, and the ash they produce can cause dangerous clogs. Outdoor gas fire pits feature a burner to provide the flames and should be used with gas fire pit media like lava rock, fire glass or ceramic log sets.
Fuel Type
Gas fire pits are available for two fuel types: liquid propane and natural gas. If you're looking for a unit that will hook up to your home fuel supply, that's usually natural gas. On the other hand, if you want to attach to a portable or permanent tank, you're going to want a propane unit. Outdoor fire pit propane can come either from a standard 20-pound tank or a larger installed supply if you live in an area without natural gas service.
Features & Accessories
Gas fire pits come in all types, with a huge spread of ignition types, including some that can interface with your smartphone via Bluetooth, just to name one major feature. Many of the brands we carry also offer exceptional accessories to improve your fire pit experience.
Size & Shape
These fire features come in an impressive array of sizes, from small portable gas fire pits ideal for camping to show-stopping appliances nearly eight feet across. It's best to keep in mind the size of your space and the number of guests you usually entertain. The shape is also a key consideration. We carry square, rectangular, linear and round gas fire pits, each of which suit different spaces. We even offer a small selection of oval and L-shaped fire pits for more niche applications.
