If you're looking to add a fire pit to your backyard, you have a few decisions to make. One of the most important is what type of fuel to use, propane or natural gas, but which one is right for you?
In this article, we will compare propane and natural gas fire pits and help you decide which fuel is right for you and your lifestyle.
Benefits of Propane:
Propane fire pits require minimal installation and are simple to use. All you need to do is connect the propane tank to the fire pit and check for any gas leaks.
If you are concerned about seeing the propane tank, there are a few ways you can conceal it. You can purchase a fire pit with a hidden tank. The hidden tank hides the propane tank directly underneath the table and it often comes with a side door that allows to easily access the propane tank.
If you purchase a fire pit that does not have a hidden tank, you can purchase a tank cover. Tank covers are a great option because they are functional, conceal the tank, and compliment the fire pit.
Benefits of Natural Gas:
If you want your fire pit to be a permanent feature in your outdoor space, natural gas is the best option. If you don't already have a gas line, you will need to hire a professional to install the gas line and connect it to your fire pit. Once it's installed, you'll have a constant source of fuel. Natural gas is more convenient and less expensive than propane because you won't have to worry about refilling the propane tank.
