Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Pits
What different types of outdoor fire pits are available?
We can install wood-burning, propane, natural gas, or gel-fuel fire pits. Wood fire pits are akin to having a campfire, while propane, gel fuel, and natural gas fire pits emit no odor.
Natural gas fire pits can be connected to your gas line, propane systems require propane tanks, and gel-fuel systems require gel canisters.
Can I install a fire pit on my existing deck or patio?
Wood pits should not be installed on a patio or deck due to safety concerns. However, because gas pits generate less heat and there are no embers or sparks, these can be installed on decks and patios.
What safety precautions should I take when using an outdoor fire pit?
All fire pits should be installed at least 20 feet from any structure. If you have a wood fire pit, you’ll want to install a spark screen. For all fire pits, it’s a good idea to install it on a stone, rock, sand, or concrete base.
You should take extra care to ensure that furniture, cushions, and other combustible materials are a sufficient distance from the pit to prevent them from catching fire.
Do I need a professional to install a gas fire pit?
Hiring a professional to install any natural gas or propane fire pit is advisable. This ensures the natural gas line is properly dug and run or the propane tanks are correctly connected and secured.
Can I use my fire pit during windy or rainy weather?
Yes. Using your fire pit during rainy or windy weather is possible, but you should use extra caution when doing so.
Can I cook food on my outdoor fire pit?
Whether you want to grill or toast marshmallows, cooking food on most outdoor fire pits is perfectly acceptable.
Remember that you’ll want to clean the pit thoroughly before and after doing so to remove any food debris that can detract from the appearance of your fire pit or potentially attract pests.
