About Outdoor Fire Pits

Gas vs. wood-burning fire pits

Gas (propane or natural gas) fire pits light instantly, burn clean, and turn off with a knob—no smoke, no ash, and easier to use under most local codes. Wood-burning pits deliver the crackle and campfire smell but need fuel, tending, and more clearance. Choose gas for convenience, wood for the classic experience.

Fire pit safety and placement

Set a fire pit on a non-flammable surface (stone, pavers, concrete) at least 10 feet from your home, fences, and overhangs, and away from low branches. Skip it directly under a covered porch unless it's rated for it. Keep a clear zone around seating, and check local fire codes and HOA rules before you buy.

Fire pit vs. fire table

A classic fire pit is a bowl or pit you gather around; a fire table doubles as a surface for drinks and is often gas-powered with a sleek, furniture-like look. Tables suit dining-height entertaining and tidy patios; bowls and pits lean rustic and cozy. Match the height to whether you'll lounge or dine around it.

Styling a fire pit area

Arrange seating in a loose circle 2–3 feet back from the flame so it's warm but comfortable—lounge chairs, a sectional, or built-in benches all work. Ground the zone with an outdoor rug (kept away from sparks for wood-burning), add weather-ready cushions and a side table, and you've got the patio's favorite spot.

Outdoor Fire Pits FAQs

Are gas or wood-burning fire pits better?

Gas lights instantly, burns clean, and is easier under most codes; wood-burning gives the crackle and campfire feel but needs fuel and tending. Pick by convenience vs. experience.

How far should a fire pit be from the house?

At least 10 feet from your home, fences, and overhangs, on a non-flammable surface, away from low branches—and check local codes and HOA rules.

What's the difference between a fire pit and a fire table?

A fire pit is a bowl or pit you gather around; a fire table adds a usable surface and a sleek, furniture-like look, often gas-powered at dining or lounge height.

Can I put a fire pit on my deck or under a cover?

Only if it's rated for it and on a protective, non-flammable surface; many wood-burning pits shouldn't go under cover. Confirm clearances and local rules first.
