Gas vs Wood Fire Pit
While some will swear allegiance to a crackling wood fire, others believe there’s no need to fuss with finding matches, collecting kindling, and storing firewood. Why bother when you can easily ignite a fire with a push of a button on a gas fire pit? These outdoor fire pits produce heat instantly, conveniently, and safely.
Having a hassle-free focal point in the backyard has great appeal. So, the list is lengthy as to why you should choose a natural gas fire pit over one that burns wood.
- Install a gas line instead of buying, splitting, and storing firewood.
- Burn clean and avoid the smoke that can result from burning wood.
- Rest and relax by the glow of yellow and tall flames, even if you’re located in a fire ban area.
- Control the height of the flame without feeding the fire with additional wood.
- Roast marshmallows just like you can with a wood-burning pit.
- Enjoy a fire without the danger of unpredictable flying sparks.
- Turn the dial to ‘off’ and go indoors without fear the hot embers will reignite.
- Avoid the chore of cleaning the ashes produced from burning wood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, gas fire pits give off heat to warm the surrounding area without toasting your guests. The heat from a fire pit is measured in BTUs. The larger the burner, the more BTUs it produces. For our granite gas fire pits, the commercial grade stainless-steel burners come in three sizes and produce the following BTUs:
⦁ Round 20” = 55 000 BTUs
⦁ Round 30” = 106 000 BTUs
⦁ Square 24” x 24” = 55 000 BTUs
Absolutely! Because gas is a standard cooking fuel, it is safe to roast marshmallows over a gas fire pit. Once your pit cools, check to see if marshmallow drippings fell on to the glass gems, lava rock, or stainless-steel burner. If so, clean the residue with soapy water to prevent the burner ports from clogging.
No, you cannot cook over a gas fire pit burner because the food’s drippings would clog the ports of the fire pit burner. Plus, our fire pit burners are UL listed as decorative gas appliances, not cooking appliances.
Yes, you can safely assemble a gas fire pit on a wooden or composite deck. Unlike wood burning fire pits, gas fire pits do not produce damaging sparks or embers.
Yes, gas fire pits can get wet. If your fire pit is uncovered while it’s raining, there’s no need to worry. Our commercial grade stainless-steel burners feature raised ports with a pitched design. This allows water to drain to the bottom of the burner and, then, to the granite base of your gas fire pit.
Yes, a gas fire pit requires ventilation. Air flow allows your gas fire pit to release excess gas from the burner and granite base. Plus, ventilation provides you with a higher flame while protecting your burner from excessive heat. To learn where to position the ventilation gaps on your granite gas fire pit, check out how to assemble a gas fire pit.
Lighting a gas fire pit is a lot like starting a barbeque. To produce heat instantly from your gas fire pit, follow these two easy steps:
1) Turn on the main gas line from your home; and
2) Push the button on the control panel to spark the ignitor while turning the dial to control the height of your flame.
A fire pit wind guard rests on the top row of granite to surround the stainless-steel burner. Because the guard has rubber feet, you can easily lift and remove it.
Your fire pit burner will come ready to burn liquid propane. You can easily convert it to burn natural gas. No need to buy a conversion kit. Our burners come with all the necessary hoses and valves for the conversion. Watch our video on how to convert your fire pit burner from gas to propane.
