A great fire pit can be a meeting space for friends and family to gather, or even enjoying a moment alone in your outdoor living space. So, there are some things you want to consider before you purchase a gas fire pit. To choose the “Best Gas Fire Pit of 2021-2022” our experts at BBQ Direct examine fuel type, style, material, shape, accessories, and price. Here is BBQ Directs.com’s guide to selecting gas fire pits.
Fuel Type:Fuel types to consider when buying a fire pit are gas or wood-burning. Gas fire pits have options for configuration for gas types. Some fire pits will take natural gas, and some will take propane gas. Gas fire pits can be attached to a gas source from either a tank or from a gas source from your home. Gas sourced fire pits can be controlled by a switch. Putting you in control of how high or low this fire burns, and there is no clean-up.
Style:BBQ Direct has two options to consider when choosing your fire pit style. There are over 100 options to choose from that are either a traditional gas fire pit or gas fire pit table. Traditional gas fire pits are great for using a communal space to gather, but a fire pit table is great for nighttime dinner parties or wine tasting.
Material:The material goes right along with the style. Options for the material include Concrete, Copper, and Steel. When considering your options for the material, you want to consider durability. Will this option last? Will this option rust? If you enjoy the look of rust, Patina may be an option you want to pursue.
Shape:Fire pits come in all sorts of sizes and shapes. So, when considering your fire pit, think of the size of your backyard or how many people you may have gathered around this fire. The shape may not be as important as the other categories, but it does make a difference in the appearance of your outdoor space.
Look/ Decor:Your backyard is important so making sure that your fire pit reflects your look can be as simple as adding some new accessories to match your style. Fire glass can be just the touch you need to create a custom space.
Pricing:There are three pricing tiers to consider when looking at products. Tier one is affordable, often the lowest price possible. These items are often smaller and usually provide minimum functionality. The second pricing tier is standard, normally moderately priced. As for functionality, standards should cover your day-to-day needs. The last pricing tier is the luxury tier. Luxury is the highest price but also offers the best quality and maximum functionality.
