Frequently asked questions about Fire Pits

• Should I buy a gas or wood-burning firepit?

  This comes down to personal preference. A wood-burning firepit has all the ambience of a campfire and burns hotter. In terms of convenience, gas fire pits are the way to go - You can light your fire pit at the touch of a button and simply turn off the gas supply when you're done entertaining.

• How do I choose the right size firepit for my outdoor space?

  When purchasing a gas or wood burning firepit, consider the size of your outdoor space and the number of people you plan to entertain. A larger firepit will provide more warmth and seating options, while a smaller firepit is more suitable for intimate gatherings.
