Gas Fire Pits — Effortless Outdoor Warmth

Gas fire pits deliver the ambiance of a wood fire without the smoke, ash, or sparks — just push-button ignition and adjustable flame height. We carry both natural gas and propane fire pits in tables, bowls, and inserts from The Outdoor Plus, Elementi, Slick Rock Concrete, Seasons Fire Pits, and more.

Buying Guide

• Fuel: Natural gas needs a dedicated line; propane uses a standard 20 lb tank or buried tank.
• BTU range: Most gas fire pits run 30,000–150,000 BTU. Higher BTU = bigger flame and more visible heat.
• Materials: Concrete (most popular), corten steel, copper, stainless.
• Install: Most permanent gas fire pits should be installed by a licensed gas technician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is natural gas or propane better for a fire pit?

Natural gas is better for permanent installations — lower operating cost, unlimited supply, but requires a gas line. Propane is better for flexibility — no gas line needed, works with a standard 20 lb tank or buried tank, slightly higher operating cost.

How long does a 20 lb propane tank last on a fire pit?

Roughly 4–8 hours at typical burn settings (50,000–80,000 BTU). High-output fire pits (100,000+ BTU) will empty a 20 lb tank in about 3 hours.

Can you convert a propane fire pit to natural gas?

Many models can be converted with a manufacturer-supplied conversion kit. Always use a licensed gas technician — never modify the orifice or burner yourself.

How many BTUs do I need for a fire pit?

For ambiance + light heat: 30,000–60,000 BTU. For visible flame and noticeable heat: 60,000–100,000 BTU. For commercial or large-flame display: 100,000–150,000+ BTU.
