What do you get in the box?
When you get your gas fire pit it will include the base, door, gas burner with a regulator, Aluminum top with center cover, glass beads, poly cover, and electronic starter. All you will have to add is a 20-pound propane tank to have your first fire.
The base and the door are made from a bronze and brown resin wicker material on a steel frame. The resin wicker will never rot, just clean with soap and water. With the center cover on the top, you can use this fire pit as a coffee table when not needed as a Fire Pit. Included poly cover can extend the life of your fire pit when not in use.
The fire pit on high will give out 50,000 BTUs of heat for your comfort. The electronic ignition is the same type that is used on a BBQ grill and is very dependable. The burner ring is made of stainless steel for long life, just make sure that the glass beads do not cover the outlet holes so that it operates properly.
Why LP Gas, not Fire Wood
Why LP Gas, not Fire Wood
Just think that you do not have to go to the corner gas station and pay $5 for four little sticks of wood that will not last very long. After everyone goes home you do not have to empty the ashes or clean up the mess of wood chips on your patio area.
You can have a fire pit on your wooden or composite deck without some kind of heat protection. Still, we need to maintain a safe distance from vinyl siding.
The LP Gas burns cleaner without the smoke that will get in people's eyes. Although they say smoke follows beauty, you can say that all of your guests are beautiful.
Assembly and use
A small amount of assembly is required, with no special tools. Just drop in the burn pan with the fire ring, assemble the control panel to the base, fill with glass beads, add a battery to the igniter and add a 20-pound propane tank (not included).
When using your Gas Fire Pit you should make sure that all of your gas line connections are secure. Keep small children from playing around as they can still get burned if they should fall into the fire.
When you are ready for your fire pit all you have to do is open the door, turn on the gas and press the igniter, you are ready to sit back and enjoy your favorite adult beverage with your friends and family.

Hi John,
I’ve actually never thought of a gas fire pit. Shows how not-very-worldly I am. It makes perfect sense for all the reasons you’ve outlined – great look, great feel, almost no work to it. I can see how something like that would really add to someone’s outdoor space.
I enjoyed the review and like your site a lot. Great work!
Best wishes,
Kevin
Kevin,
The gas fire pits have there place in the outdoor area. They are very clean and you can still cook your hot dogs and marshmallows if you want.
John
I can see that this would be the perfect time to get one of these if you are in the US or Europe as you are coming into your winter very soon. It looks like a good quality unit that would last a long time and give great value to the homeowner.
I think the best feature about this is that you can use LP Gas and you don’t have to clean up after you have finished which I’m sure a lot of homeowners would appreciate, good post.
Adrian,
Having a fire pit that has a smooth top for a coffee table means that you can use it year round. This fire pit can be used in the summer as well as in the cooler months. This will add value to the time your friends and family spend in your outdoor space.

This is a great innovation John, the Gas Fire pit will work for me. I know that for sure. It also helps the environment in unprecedented ways and leaves me less cleanup work. Great review on this. I’ll snap up one soon for my home. Thanks.
Koko,
With the environment in such bad shape, we need to look at ways to save any type of pollution we can.

Can you tell me how to assemble the battery?
Jamie,
The igniter button should turn out to let you install the battery under it. This should be on the control panel, to the left of the knob for controlling the flame.
John
How do I put in igniter battery. Not sure how to open igniter.
John,
When looking at the control panel, the igniter button on the left holds the battery. The front should just unscrew and the battery should come out. There is a spring in the back of the battery enclosure. Place new battery in negative side first and push the cap on until you can tighten it by screwing it back on. If you need any other information please let me know.
