The gas-powered fire pit can be lit and the fire left alone, no putting on wood or messing with ashes when done with the evening.

What you get in the box
In the box, you will get four chairs and a fire pit. The chairs will have a steel frame that has a gentle rocking motion, not a full rocker. You will sit on an overstuffed cushion and have a smaller stuffed cushion for your back. Each chair will be 29.5 inches deep, 26.5 inches wide and 34.5 inches tall. They will weigh about 30 pounds each.
The fire pit is powered by a 20-pound propane tank that is secured with a small chain under the burn area. The square burn area is filled with lava rocks that will cover the round burner. This produces no downward heat so it can be set on any surface, just have to watch that no combustibles are above the flame or within about 24 inches of the sides. The fire pit is 40 inches square and 23.5 inches tall. It will weigh about 118 pounds without a propane tank.
Assembly and use
The chairs only require the base to be attached to the seat. The biggest problem is getting all of the parts aligned, you should have some help with this as it can be frustrating with only two hands. Tools are included for the bolts and nuts. Follow instructions closely as some parts will fit backward and make your chair unsafe. The longer legs go to the back of the chair and the U plates must go in the proper location. Foot caps are provided to keep the chair from sliding and marking up your floor surface.
The fire pit will require two people for the same reason as the chairs. Four bolts hold the stone tabletop to the base. Burn ring and burner pan is attached to the base from the factory. Add your lava rocks as to not cover the igniter so your fire will start. Place a 20-pound propane tank in place, hook up feed hose and secure with chain. The igniter will need one AAA battery installed. The side door attaches by sliding it onto four pegs on the base.
To light the fire of your fire pit, open the side door, turn on the propane, push in control knob after moving to the on position and then push the igniter button. If all is well you should have a flame, just use the control knob to adjust the flame to your liking. Now just sit back and enjoy a little heat, a romancing flame and some of your favorite adult beverages.
Safety, storage, cleaning, and other information
With any gas appliance, you should make sure that your connections are secure and not leaking before lighting. Watch small children while playing around a fire pit, even after it is turned off. Do not sit any combustibles on the stone top when burning.
When storing any propane fire pit inside, make sure the propane tank is disconnected and left outside. Store lava rocks out of freezing temps as the freezing moisture will cause them to crack and break.
Clean chairs with mild soap and water. Clean the burner with a brush when cool if the flame does not work well and you do not have a fire all the way around the burner. Sometimes particles will block the holes and not let the flame show.
If you find that you are missing some parts, have trouble understanding assembly instructions or have some damaged parts, call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-416-3511 for assistance.

Wow! I love this. For me, there’s nothing better than sitting near a fire on Friday night with a few close friends (and maybe a glass of wine 😉
We actually have a fire pit, but it uses wood…which is cool because I like the smell of it burning, but it can be a pain to keep feeding it. I like the aesthetics of this pit. It’s clean and simple. You have a great site, especially for someone like me who loves outdoor living. Thanks for your post.
Jackie,
There is nothing better than smelling the wood burning in a fire pit or fireplace. The mess of storing, keeping the fire going and cleaning up the ashes gives the advantage to the gas fire pit. Thanks for your interest and comments.
John
Wow great looking product here. There is just something about being ran around a burning fire.
I guess that as this is gas fired you don’t have all the hassle of flying embers and mess in the morning.
Danny,
No mess to clean up. Could be a great idea for a large patio area that you use most of the year. The biggest upkeep will be to store the large cushions away from damage from the sun and rain.
John
The advantage I like about this fire pit is that there is no cleaning up ashes, or having to store wood and add it to the fire.
It looks like a great addition to any patio and very good for entertaining friends, and easy to look after.
I think you’ve covered everything in your review, good post
Adrian,
This is a great addition to any large outdoor space. Just turning off the burner and going to bed is one of the best features of a propane fire pit. You will not get the same vibes as a real wood fire. Thanks for your comments.
John
Lovely product. I like the idea, very useful for outdoor.
Alp,
Any time it is too cool to sit outside, you can always have a little party around any fire pit. This gas fire pit set will fit on most decks and patio areas without any trouble.
John
This is an awesome set. I love that you have the option of the fireplace and a table edge. It looks so inviting, I can just imagine sitting around the fire, sharing great food and enjoying conversation with friends and family.
Tara,
The best thing about the Hanover collection is the variety of styles you can choose from. I found 11 different styles and I am going to write a post to get the information out shortly.
