Fire Pit FAQs

What type of fire pit is best for my backyard?

The ideal fire pit varies based on your area, intended use, and fuel choice. Fire pits that burn wood deliver a classic, crackling fire, whereas gas fire pits offer ease of use and a cleaner burn. Fire pit tables are excellent for multipurpose areas, merging heat with a practical surface.

Which Fire Pit is better – Gas or Wood-Burning?

It depends on your needs. Gas fire pits are easier to start, require less maintenance, and create less smoke. Wood-burning fire pits, however, provide a natural flame and classic outdoor experience. If you want convenience, go with gas. If you love the smell and ambiance of real wood, a wood-burning fire pit might be the better choice.

Can I install a fire pit on my deck or patio?

Yes, but it hinges on the kind of fire pit and the material of your deck. Gas fire pit tables are generally safe for patios and decks, whereas wood-burning fire pits need extra measures, such as heat-resistant bases or fireproof mats. Always seek advice from one of our hearth experts before beginning installation.

How do I maintain my fire pit?

Taking care of your fire pit ensures it lasts for years. If you have a wood-burning fire pit, make sure to clear out ash and debris after each use. For gas fire pits, a quick burner check and occasional cleaning will keep everything running smoothly. Also, a good cover helps protect it from the elements, so you’re always ready for your next cozy night by the fire!
