Getting the Most From a Steel Fire Pit

Setting up a steel fire pit is one of the best ways to add the final touches to your backyard. Steel fire pits deliver a level of robustness and longevity that reward any homeowner for years to come. Because of their popularity, many styles are available, so practically every home can have a beautiful modern outdoor fire pit that fits its decor. Placing a functional, elegant steel fire pit in your backyard will give you a decorative focal point, as well as a place for your family and friends to gather for many years to come.

Fuel Options for Steel Fire Pits

Steel fire pits are generally offered with a few fuel type options. Many steel fire pits use wood as a fuel source, while alternatives using propane and natural gas sources are also available. Naturally, whether you choose a wood, gas, or a propane fire pit, your choice will have aesthetic and operational differences to consider. Natural gas installations may need minor home renovations for additional gas lines, yet propane installs often only require tanks to be located near the fire pit. Propane and natural gas also have different properties that require their own respective fittings for safe operation. But similarly, any steel fire pit that uses either propane or natural gas will need a media, usually of rock or glass, to cover and hide the burner implement.

Wood-burning steel fire pits do not need any additional components. Wood-fueled fire pits are generally the most cost-effective choice because they use the simplest fuel. For some, those wood pits exude a priceless raw and nostalgic elegance that is impossible to replicate. However, gas fire pits have their own unique look and feel, and some prefer the experience of a smokeless flame rising from textured lava rocks or ethereal glass. Gas pits are also considered to be more convenient because they can essentially be turned on or off at will, with ease.
