Gas Fire Pit and Patio Heater Categories
Each page covers one kind of fire feature or patio heater, with what to check before you buy and the rules that apply where you put it.
Our online store opens in 2027. Nothing on this page is for sale yet, and we claim no dealer relationship with any manufacturer. Until then, this page explains the category so you can choose well wherever you buy.
- Gas Fire TablesA gas fire table is a finished piece with the burner built in, so the choices are fuel, tank, size, height and material. Each one below points to the guide that covers it.
- Gas Fire BowlsA gas fire bowl is a burner set in a round or square bowl, from a 24 inch copper bowl to a pedestal piece beside a pool. The buying choices below each point to the guide that covers them.
- Wood Burning Fire PitsA wood burning fire pit needs no gas line, tank or ignition, and the rules that govern it differ from the rules for gas. The decisions below each point to the guide that covers them.
- Fire Pit Inserts and BurnersA burner kit puts a gas burner into a pit you build, and an insert adds the pan and controls in one assembly. This page sends the fit, ignition and fuel decisions to the guides that cover them.
- Patio HeatersA patio heater is sized by the area it covers, fueled by electricity, propane or natural gas, and limited by the roof over it. Each choice below points to the guide that covers it.
- Fire Glass and Lava RockFire glass and lava rock cover the burner in a gas fire pit, and the burner's manual sets how deep either one can go. The media choice and the quantity question below point to the guide and calculator that answer them.
- Fire Pit Covers and AccessoriesA fire pit cover is the normal answer to rain and snow, and the manuals set rules for when it goes on and comes off. This page also covers what makers publish about wind guards, hoses, tank enclosures and screens.
