One of these fire pit patio sets will give you a conversation point and when not needed can be used as a table for drinks and snacks.

My final thoughts on these sets
Knowing the size of your space is the first step in finding your outdoor Gas Fire Pit Conversation Set. Each of these sets in this article is different in size and shape. I have given you a great deal of detail to work with and compare to make a informed choice on what will work for you and fit in your space.
Each set will work with a 20 pound propane tank, just like the ones used on common Gas BBQ pits. Three will hide the tank under the fire pit, one will have a 10 foot gas line for remote tank location. All of these fire pits can be used on any type of decking surfaces. Wood burning fire pits cannot be used on wood or composite decking without proper protection, see my information here before purchasing a wood burner.

Hey John, Very well put together and very informative and pictures go well with each one. I did not realize there were so many different kinds of gas fire pits. Hopefully with some time and guidance by fellow WA members I can start to get my website as full as you are with yours. Well thought out and links flow well together.
Jody,
Glad you found my post helpful and full of information. If you need help putting your website together, just send me a note and I can help with that also.

Oh, I do need this set! Just moved to Florida, and of course left all patio furniture behind. I am working in getting it looking nice first. But I am close, so of course shopping around for some ideas. I really like the look of this set, not too big and not too small. The color is nice too. With the firepit, very nice touch! I would kind of need some little side tables or something like too, do you know if they have this for an option? I do see the one firepit has some room around it for setting stuff on. That might work too. I am going to click on the link, and see what the sizes and options are. Thanks!
Leahrae,
Glad you found this post helpful in making a selection for your new outdoor space in Florida. I included sets with several sizes and styles to help in the decision of what will work best for you. Thanks for reading and leaving a note.

I need to upgrade my patio and was thinking about getting a fire pit. I honestly had no idea that they sold fire pits that looked more like furniture or coffee tables than big pigs. Very cool! You’ve opened my eyes to new possibilities.
Penelope,
These pits make for one stop shopping for your outdoor space for sitting and heat. These sets have the look of designer pieces and will make any outdoor decor look great.

Ahhhh…your first picture brought a smile to my face, John.
we’re just getting real fall weather here in New York, a fire pit would provide just the right amount of warm to ward off those late-night chills.
Your descriptions are so detailed: I really like that the Cosco already comes assembled, but to know that seating is only on 2 sides of the fire pit makes it less attractive. That’s something that I could have easily overlooked. Know that a fire pit needs more space, like the Ridgewell fire pit, is also something that would be important to know, prior to purchasing.
So, apparently, looking to purchase a gas fire pit patio set, it’s a lot more than just looking for one that gives off the best heat and has pretty-looking seat cushions, lol.
Veronica,
Looking at all of the details will give you the information for making the best decision for your outdoor space. The size and shape of your outdoor space will determine you choice of what will fit your space. Having heat on a cool night is great for having a group over for some adult beverages and conversation.
