Gas Fire Pit

FAQs

There is no denying the appeal of a crackling wood fire, but it’s also safe to say that wood fires are just too much hassle to be practical on a daily basis. Between gathering wood, building and nurturing the fire, and then cleaning up after it is put out, burning wood simply isn’t worth the effort in most situations.

That’s where a gas fire pit comes into the picture. With a gas fire, you get the warmth and ambiance that you are looking for from the flames, but there is absolutely nothing to clean up at all. Just flip a switch to start the fire pit, enjoy it for a while, and turn it off when you are done. It couldn’t be easier.

For a gas fire pit that looks great and performs as expected, turn to CopperSmith. With creative and modern designs, our fire pits won’t go out of style anytime soon–they’ll look great in the space you choose for them year after year. Reach out today to learn more or place your order now!

Gas Fire Pit Ideas

It won’t take long to see that we have many beautiful, durable gas fire pits available here on our site. But how can you put them to use to serve your needs? These products have many applications, including the ideas we’ve listed below.

Create an Outdoor Living Space

This is the natural starting point, as many homeowners will use their fire pit as the centerpiece of a comfortable outdoor living space. For instance, if you have a concrete patio, you might use a gas fire pit as the center of your design in that area, and you can add some chairs and perhaps a table around the outside to bring it all together.

Often, people find that they are motivated to use their outdoor space far more frequently when it has a fire pit in place. Without that focal point to draw you outside, you might choose to just remain indoors–even when the weather is nice and you could be enjoying a relaxing evening with family and friends. So, if you’d like to breathe new life into how you use the outdoor space of your property, a gas fire pit is perhaps the best way to do just that.

A Welcoming Space for Customers

In a commercial setting, a fire pit is a great way to great areas that customers will love to hang around before or after making a purchase. A coffee shop is a great example of this concept.

Most coffee shops are busiest in the morning, of course, and it’s often rather cold outside in the early morning hours. To develop a welcoming space where customers can chat with others while sipping their coffee, a fire pit out on the patio could be the ideal solution. Of course, if the location also serves other beverages at night, the fire pit could serve double duty and provide great ambiance in the evening hours.

Pull People Further Away from the House

Getting back to ideas for residential properties, another way to use a fire pit is to establish a hangout that is farther from the house and makes more use of your whole property. If possible, you could work on installing the fire pit in a spot that is well away from the house, creating a use for land that is otherwise neglected and wasted.

This will make the fire pit more of a destination and might even encourage you to use it more often than if it was right up next to the house. Making the walk out to the fire area will be an exciting journey, and your friends and family will probably want to stay out there all night long.

Of course, you’ll need to have the right situation on your property for this plan to work, but it is a fun idea to consider.

FAQs

Looking for more information about the gas fire pits we have available here at CopperSmith? The frequently asked questions below might help. If not, take a moment to get in touch with our team and we will be happy to provide the information you need to make an informed purchase.

Are gas fire pits worth it?

This is a common question as a wood burning fire pit would certainly be more affordable–upfront, at least–than a gas model. However, thanks to the many benefits of using a gas fire pit, they are certainly more than worth it in the long run. First, there is the convenience and ease of using a gas fire pit that far surpasses the experience of a wood burning model. Also, you don’t have to worry about finding or buying firewood for a gas fire pit, and you don’t have to think about disposing of the ashes in the aftermath. All in all, gas fire pits represent a great value and are the best way to enjoy a controlled fire on your property.

Do gas fire pits put off heat?

Yes–gas fire pits produce a flame, and as a result, there will be heat coming out of the fire-pit. Is there going to be as much heat produced by a gas fire pit as if you built a wood burning fire? Probably not, but that would depend on the size of the fire and other factors. Most people who use gas fire pits are doing so largely for the ambiance created by the fire, similar to using a candle indoors. If you are able to enjoy a little bit of ambient heat along the way, that will only add to the experience.

How long will a gas fire pit burn?

The obvious answer here is that your gas fire pit will burn for as long as you have gas to keep it going. When connected to a gas line, you can technically run your fire pit indefinitely–although you’ll always want to be sure to shut it off when it is not attended. If you are using a propane tank to power your fire pit, a 20-gallon tank should provide you with a few hours of burn time, give or take.

Can you roast marshmallows on a gas fire pit?

Yes, you should be able to roast marshmallows over your gas fire pit without any trouble. The key would be to avoid spilling melted marshmallows onto the fire pit, as it could be difficult to clean and could gum up the burners if it lands on them directly. Otherwise, you can enjoy the experience of roasting marshmallows just like you would over any other flame, always remembering to be careful and to attend to any children who join in.

Can a gas fire pit get wet?

Considering the fact that they are designed to live outdoors, it is perfectly fine for your gas fire pit to get wet from time to time. With that said, consistent exposure to moisture could take a toll on some of the components that keep the fire pit working properly. So, if you live somewhere that has a particularly wet period of the year and you don’t plan to use that fire pit during that time, consider bringing it under cover to keep it dry. Or, you could purchase a fire pit cover to keep the rain off of it, and you could then just peel back the cover any time you want to enjoy a fire.

Can you put a gas fire pit under a gazebo?

In many cases, it will be perfectly fine to place your fire pit under a gazebo or similar structure, but you need to always make sure that there is proper ventilation in the area. Specifically, there should be open sides on the structure so air can move freely through the space, and there should be plenty of ceiling height to create a significant gap between the top of the fire pit and the underside of the ceiling. Always exercise caution and consider consulting a professional if you are unsure about where your fire pit can be placed safely on your property.
