Fire Pits are Fun in Winter

Hey everyone! Its cold outside tonight, it's a perfect night for a fire pit. There are several types on the market today. I prefer the wood burning ones myself. There is nothing like sitting around a roaring fire and looking at the night stars. It's the only way I can cope with the cold winters. If wood is not for you then you can get one of the following.

 Natural gas fire pit. These require a hard plumbed natural gas like just like a grill. You can get a plumber to come in and put a tee on your gas line and run another over to where you want to have the fire pit. These are nice because you do not have to worry about having enough wood, and unlike propane, if you have paid your gas bill, you will never run out of fuel.


 Propane fire pit's. These also work off of low pressure gas (propane). Just like natural gas, you don't have to worry about the wood, but you do have to keep an eye on the propane tank. Most units will run on a standard 25 gallon tank, like the ones used on your propane grill. You can have a propane company come in and install a larger tank and run the propane line to your grill and tee off another for your fire pit.

 Outdoor patio heater. while these do not produce flame, they will heat up a large area of your patio, up to 10 feet around the heater. These also work off propane. They will produce a good amount of heat, if you just want to sit around the patio set and enjoy some company on a Saturday night.

No matter which one you choose, I'm sure you will enjoy these cool brisk nights, under the stars with your fire burning. Bring the friends over and enjoy the heat.


 Until Next Time....
