Wood Fire Pits
Wood fire pits have lots of great advantages:
- They provide a more authentic experience. The crackling sounds and smoky aroma of a wood fire provide an ambiance that’s hard to top. No matter how realistic modern gas logs get, there’s no beating the classic sounds, smells, and aesthetic of wood-burning fires.
- They can be a cost-effective option. Wood is usually cheap to purchase or, if you season and chop your own, it’s free!
- You can use different wood types for different experiences. You can use various types of wood, which can influence the aroma and burn characteristics of your fires.
Gas Fire Pits
Gas fire pits come out on top in lots of ways:
- They’re very convenient and easy to use. Gas fire pits are easy to start, and they extinguish with the push of a button or the turn of a knob. Easy peasy.
- They burn cleanly and consistently. They produce a consistent flame without the smoke, ash, or sparks associated with wood fires. That means no getting out of your comfy chair to re-fuel.
- They’re a low maintenance option. With gas systems, minimal cleanup is required, as there are no ashes to dispose of or wood to store.
- You’ll have more control over how your fire burns. You can easily adjust the flame size and heat output, offering more overall control over the fire.
Choosing Your Fire Pit: Things To Consider
A fire pit is no small investment. If you’re adding one to your space, you want it to be perfect – perfect for you, that is! So, consider the following before making any firm commitments.
What’s your purpose for the fire pit?
If you plan to use your fire pit for social gatherings and entertainment, consider the size – and, by relation, the seating capacity around it. Larger fire pits provide more heat and can accommodate more people.
That said, if the main goal is to create a cozy atmosphere that you’ll be enjoying alone or with a few close friends or family members, focus on the design and style that best compliments your outdoor space – and what you’ll enjoy most when trying to unwind.
What fuel type would you prefer?
This is a biggie! Go over what we discussed above to determine if wood or gas would be more suitable for your needs. Wood offers a traditional fire experience with crackling sounds and natural aroma, but requires more maintenance and produces smoke. Gas provides convenience with easy ignition and control, burns cleanly without smoke, and requires less maintenance.
Where is your fire pit going to be located?
Fire pits need a suitable area to work safely and effectively. For instance, putting them on a stable and non-flammable surface is a must, as is ensuring any overhanging branches or nearby structures aren’t going to be too close.
In addition, measure your outdoor area to ensure you find a model – and model shape – that fits comfortably without crowding the space. Consider the seating arrangements and pathways around the fire pit too!
Are there any local regulations or coding requirements to consider?
Check with local authorities to see if you need a permit for a fire pit, and be aware of any local regulations regarding open flames. Ensure the fire pit complies with safety standards and guidelines for your area.
What’s your outdoor aesthetic?
You don’t want to buy a rustic-looking fire pit if the rest of your outdoor decor is sleek and modern – or vice versa. Choose a design that complements your outdoor vibes accordingly. Rest assured, you have options, whether you want a round fire pit, a square fire pit, a stone fire pit, a bowl fire pit, or something else.
What’s your budget?
Obviously, this plays a big part in your decision-making process. Determine your budget for purchasing and installing the fire pit, while also taking into account additional needed costs down the line – like cost of fuel, maintenance requirements, and potential accessories.
