While you can find a few small gas fire pits for under $100, most start around $100 and can reach up to $400 or more. You should receive a large enough supply to fully cover the interior of the pit. Most gas fire pits also include lava rocks, which provide a more realistic flame effect. Some covers (particularly for metal pits) also have fasteners to hold the cover in place when you’re transporting the pit. A decent cover offers both UV and weather protection for when the fire pit is not in use. The hose should have a built-in regulator.
This is long enough to allow you to tuck the tank behind patio furniture or other element, which is both safer and more aesthetically pleasing. The hose connects the burner to the propane tank, and the standard hose is 10 feet’ in length. Any controls should be easy and comfortable to use. While controls for gas fire pits are typically minimal, you should have some way to adjust the flame’s height and intensity. Some systems work via batteries, which may or may not ship with the fire pit. An ignition system should be easy to use, often by simply pushing a button. The ignition system is largely standard on gas fire pits, although some do not have one, so you’ll have to light the pit by hand. For maximum safety, try to find a burner that is safety tested and UL rated. The burner should generate a clean flame that doesn’t give off any smoke. You should focus on a pit that includes a rustproof and durable stainless steel burner. Also verify what, if any, tools you will need to put a pit together. Those that do require some assembly should include clear, easy-to-read instructions and all the necessary hardware. As such, you shouldn’t have a hard time setting up a pit and starting your first fire. Most fire pits come preassembled or nearly so. As mentioned, metal fire pits might be a better (and lighter) option if you plan to do much tailgating or camping with your gas fire pit. Take the weight into account, too, particularly if you plan to be moving the fire pit around frequently. If space is an issue, go with a more compact fire pit, although you should be aware that smaller pits have a lower heat output than larger pits. The pits also range in height from under 10 inches to 30 inches or more. The size of gas fire pits varies quite a bit, anywhere from under 20 inches to 32 inches or more in diameter. A fire pit with a low Btu level is really more decorative and atmospheric than a significant source of heat. Simply put, the higher the number, the more heat the pit can produce. The heat output of most gas fire pits is measured in British thermal units (Btu) and ranges from 30,000 Btu up to around 58,000 Btu.
Stone provides more of a rustic look but is difficult to move, whereas metal, resin wicker, and faux stone are more portable.
In rare cases, pure stone fireplaces are available for purchase. There are several types of gas fire pits available, most of which consist of metal, resin wicker, and faux stone. Some gas fire pits have an initial warm-up period before you can adjust the flame to the desired level.
