Gas Fire Pits – Natural Gas & Propane | Wood Fire Home

Gas fire pits give you a real, dancing flame at the turn of a key, with no wood to haul, no smoke in your guests' eyes and no ash to clean up the next morning. Every gas fire pit in this collection is a handcrafted steel piece from Fire Pit Art, built in the USA and set up for natural gas or liquid propane.

Natural gas or propane?

Natural gas runs from a permanent line, so it never runs out, but the line has to be run to the pit by a licensed gas fitter. Liquid propane runs from a tank, so the pit can go anywhere on the patio and there's nothing to dig. Each Fire Pit Art gas model is sold as a separate natural gas or propane version, so choose the fuel before you order.

Burner size and heat

Fire Pit Art matches the burner to the bowl. The Asia 36" uses an 18" Penta burner at 125K BTU. Most mid-size bowls, including the Magnum 54", Manta Ray, Third Rock and Emperor, use a 24" Penta at 200K BTU. The Asia 60" steps up to 300K BTU and the Asia 72" to 400K BTU for large groups. If you want a long, low flame and a usable tabletop, the gas-only Linear fire pit tables run from 110K to 250K BTU.

Match lit or electronic ignition?

Match-lit models are the simplest: open the valve and light the burner by hand. The AWEIS All Weather Electronic Ignition System lights the burner at the press of a button, senses the flame and shuts the gas off if it goes out, and is built to keep working in wind and rain. AWEIS is offered on most models; the portable 30" Fire Surfer is match lit only. Gas models ship with the burner, burner plate, valve, flex line and lava rock.

Finishing the look

Lava rock is included, but you can top the burner with a Grand Canyon fire pit log set for the look of a wood fire without the smoke. On gas configurations the HPC Penta burner carries a lifetime warranty, and Fire Pit Art warrants the carbon steel for 10 years. Coastal buyers should read our guide to salt-air-rated fire pits, and anyone comparing shapes and sizes should start with how to choose the best fire table.

REMEMBER

Gas connections must be made by a professional licensed in your state, and your local authority may set its own clearance and installation rules. Use gas fire pits outdoors only.
