Propane Fire Pit Pricing

Prices of Propane fire pits depend on size, heat output (for example 30,000 BTU's), and material used in production of the fire pit. However, most of them stay in a relavant range of prices which I will discuss here. If you are looking for a smaller propane fire pit, let's say around 12-16 inches in diameter, then you'll be looking to pay around $180-300, depending on whether you heavy grade steal, stainless steal, or brass material. If you want a larger propane fire pit at around 20", then you will have to pay an average price around $250-450, again depending on the type of materials used in the walls of the fire pit.

If you want to go even larger to about 36" (three feet) in diameter propane fire pit, then you'll pay anywhere from $500-800, maybe more for high grade materials. If you really want to go all out and purchase the grand daddy of propane fire pits sized at 60" or more in diamter, then you'll be paying an average price of anywhere from $1200-2000. These prices are for traditional propane fire pits. If you're looking to buy decorative ones that are stone lined and have other artistic design elements, then you'll be paying more. One example for a 36" propane fire pit with built in stones was priced at around $1100- quite spendy, unless the natural beauty is worth it to you.

That means you can instantly light and put out your fire at a moments notice. This makes for a great safety feature as well as simplifying the starting fire process.
  • Propane fire pits are Smokeless- Another convenient feature of propane fire pits is that they are smokeless. Since you are not burning any real wood, you will have a clean, smokeless fire. This is advantageous for the environment and for yourself, as you will not have smokey smelling clothes after a nights worth of fire!
  • The Wood Appears Natural- When using your propane fire pit, you'll always use fake logs. The best thing is that the completely appear like real logs, and you won't notice a difference unless you touch and lift them.

Benefits of a Propane Fire Pit

Propane fire pits have many advantages over traditional campfires. Some of the more prominent ones are listed here:
  • Propane fire pits burn clean- By using propane and fake (but realistic) logs, you do not pollute the air with smoke and other chemical agents, and you do not waste natural resources by burning wood.
  • They are Weather Proof- Most, if not all, propane fire pits are weatherproof, meaning they are water resistant. This means that you can be assured a nice, warm fire even if it's wet out or bad weather is threatening your night out.
  • Portability- Propane fire pits are portable. Unlike regular fire pits, you can place your propane one anywhere you like, whether it be your backyard, the sidewalk, the beach, or your favorite camping ground.
  • Ashless- Because propane fire pits do not burn real wooden logs, they are no ashes when you use your fire pit. This means less mess and clean up when the fire is done, and you won't dirty and unwanted ashes in your marshmellows and hotdogs!

Does a Propane Fire Pit Behave the Same as Real Ones?

The short answer is, Yes! But I'll give a longer explanation as to the benefits and the features of a propane fire pit. First of all, propane fire pits last longer than your normal firewood campfires. On one 20 lb. bottle of propane (it's not actually that much) your propane fire pit will last 15-20 hours, depending on the size and quality of the fire pit. That means you don't have to constantly chop new wood and keep replacing logs on the fire. Instead, you can enjoy the fire for countless hours without worrying about keeping the fire going. Many questions that people have about propane fire pits is if you are able to roast marshmellows, hotdogs, and other foods over the fire. Yes you can. The propane does not affect the flame quality in any way, or the heat. It's quite safe and clean to burn a fire off of propane. The only aspect of a propane fire pit that does not act the same as a real fire is the fact that the logs do not burn. But I do believe that is a positive difference. That way you won't spend time, money, and work cutting or buying new logs. Overall, propane fire pits are a great choice if you want to simplify the campfire while providing a constant, even, and durable flame.

Propane Fire Pits

Propane fire pits are the ideal portable campfire for you and your family. Use propane fire pits anywhere in your backyard, campgrounds, or on the sidewalk! Using propane ensures that you get a clean light everytime, even if it's windy. Best of all, propane fire pits burn clean and safe, with controlled flames that won't get out of control. And don't worry, the fire looks just as natural as a real one- maybe even a whole lot better! You get all the heat and relazing flames of a real fire pit without all the smoke and mess to clean up afterwards. Propane fire pits are reusable over and over again, giving countless campfires to enjoy. No more chopping wood and breaking your back for camp fire wood, the propane fire pit has all the wood you need! Well, fake wood that is. But it looks just as real and textured as real fire logs. Most propane fire pits are also environmental friendly and can be used even during banned fire seasons in most parts of the U.S. Propane fire pits are truly the way to go when it comes to safe, resuable, and easy to light camp fires.
