Benefits of Propane Fire Pits

Fire pits are common in many backyards throughout the country, and their popularity has only been increasing in recent years. While many people think of traditional wood-burning fire pits when considering one for their outdoor space, propane fire pits offer many benefits over other alternatives.

The Rise in Popularity of Fire Pits

Since the pandemic in 2020, many homeowners have been making improvements to their backyards, creating outdoor living spaces and places for friends and family to gather (North America Fire Pits Market Size | Industry Report, 2030).  This trend largely caused the rise in popularity of fire pits, as they provide a focal gathering point and a place for people to come together to relax and socialize, while providing warmth, lighting and ambiance. Homeowners find attractive outdoor living spaces so appealing that a house with a fire pit sells faster than a house without one (Top Fire Pit Statistics, Insights, and Projections for 2020-2030 | Studio Nisho)!

Traditional Fire Pits

Historically, fire pits were designed to burn wood. And although some people like the smell of a wood fire, these types of fire pits aren’t ideal for every backyard or homeowner. First, they require hauling heavy bundles of wood to your fire pit. Second, they involve patience in getting the fire to light. Third, they require constant monitoring to maintain an adequate flame. And fourth, they produce soot and smoke (Gas vs Wood Burning Fire Pits (Pros and Cons) – Modern Cabin Living). Thankfully, innovation has created another option, a propane fire pit.

Propane Fire Pits

Propane fire pits offer many benefits over traditional wood-burning fire pits:

• They are eco-friendly—no soot or smoke (North America Fire Pits Market Size | Industry Report, 2030).
• Ignition is quick and easy (10 Reasons to Get a Fire Pit).
• They have adjustable flame controls (North America Fire Pits Market Size | Industry Report, 2030).
• Most are freestanding and can be moved easily, which means you can take them with you on a camping trip (North America Fire Pits Market Size | Industry Report, 2030).
• They are available in a variety of sizes and styles, including tabletop options, which will fit into nearly any size backyard or patio space (North America Fire Pits Market Size | Industry Report, 2030).

With all those reasons to use a propane fire pit, it may just be the addition your backyard needs to create a cozy outdoor living space for family and friends to enjoy.
