Design with Fire
Fire ignites something deep in our souls that is ancient and powerful.
There’s something undeniably magical about sitting around a fire pit,
telling stories and roasting marshmallows. While traditional wood-
burning fire pits can be a great addition to any outdoor space, they
do require a bit of work to maintain and can produce a lot of smoke.
That’s where a gas fire pit comes in – it’s easy to use, requires little
maintenance, and there is no smoke blowing in your face. If you’re
thinking about adding a gas fire pit to your outdoor space, here are
the top 5 factors to consider.
Location
Fuel
Furniture
Size
Style
Whether you are starting from scratch on an entire back yard project or
just looking to add some ambiance and a community gathering space
to your yard, this guide will set you on the right path to achieving your
fire pit dreams.

DESIGN WITH FIRE continued LOCATION The first step in planning your gas fire pit is to choose the location. You’ll want to find a spot that’s flat and level, and at least 3 feet away from any structure or combustible material. Make sure the location is convenient for seating and entertaining. Consider the flow of traffic around your fire pit and throughout your outdoor area. A fire pit can work in a variety of locations around your property. Place it in your backyard, on a deck, patio, pool area or courtyard. Even a wood or synthetic deck is perfectly safe for a gas fire feature. There’s no need to protect the material the fire feature is setting on; nearly all the heat rises above the burner plate. You can even place it under a pergola as long as you have at least 120” of clearance above the fire pit. Consider mapping out your entire seating area to see if it meets your needs before committing to anything. Bring a chair or two to sit in and see if you like the views from your planned fire pit location! FUEL Not all burners are created equal! If you love the mesmerizing, roaring fire and the heat of the Warming Trends CROSSFIRE Burner, make sure that you will have adequate gas supply to achieve this. Most fire pits on the market put out between 10,000 and 60,000 BTUs. Our burners start at 60,000 BTUs and go up to 470,000+ BTUs, with 180,000 being common. You can buy a high BTU burner, but if you don’t have adequate fuel supply, your fire will be small and sad. A great rule of thumb is: fuel equals flame. That basically means that if your fire is small and weak, it is because your fuel supply is inadequate. Even if your burner’s BTU rating is higher than your line can handle, you should be ok as long as it supplies 70%. In order to know what your capabilities will be, call up your local gas professional and get their advice. Ask yourself what type of fuel is best for you, whether natural gas or propane, and how to incorporate it into your plan. One is not necessarily better than the other. It all comes down to your unique situation. Like we always say, every fire pit is different! If, down the road, you need to convert from LP to NG or vice-versa, you can do so by purchasing replacement jets from us at $25 each.
FURNITURE Once you’ve chosen the location and fuel for your gas fire pit, you’ll want to add seating. This can be anything from chairs and benches to built-in seating or even a sectional. Make sure there’s enough space for people to move around comfortably and that everyone has a clear view of the fire pit. We recommend about 18″ – 24″ between your fire feature and your furniture. Consider what you will use the fire pit area for most. Do you want space to have a nosh or two around your fire pit? Mostly just deep conversations with your significant other? A circle of friends chatting and playing some tunes? SIZE After you’ve chosen the location, fuel type, and furniture, you’ll need to decide on the size of your gas fire pit. This will depend on how many people you plan to accommodate and the size of your outdoor space. How many people will regularly be enjoying the fire pit? If it’s a smaller number, say two, then you obviously do not need as large of a fire feature to accommodate them. If your yard is the community hub for parties, you will probably want a larger fire pit. Common round & square standard opening sizes are 18″, 24″, 30″, 36″, 42″, 48″ and 60″. Most of our fire pits are 16” inches tall and feature ledges for feet, drinks, etc. from 7″ to 12″. As a general rule, you need about 18” – 24” of space between the edge of the fire feature itself and your furniture. You will probably want to be able to walk behind and around the furniture, so add some space for that as well. STYLE Once you know your dimensions and furniture layout, all that’s left to choose is the style! Are you a DIYer looking for a Ready To Finish Kit that you can add your own flair to? Or would a finished complete system be more up your alley? You could even build your own from scratch with one of our Warming Trends CROSSFIRE Burner systems.

PAGE 14Gather SERIES
Our popular Gather Series fire tables are all made of Glass Fiber
Reinforced Concrete. For the past few years, GFRC fire features have GATHER COLORS
made their way to the top of our best sellers list. The rise of complete
systems has made outdoor living projects simply far more satisfying. In
the early days, concrete (GFRC) was the material of choice for the fire
‘vessel’. GFRC stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. Shasta Snow
It’s like concrete, but with fibers mixed in to keep it from cracking. We’ve
all witnessed a cracked concrete patio at some point, but GFRC is

stronger and more durable. If treated with care, a GFRC fire table could
last a lifetime.
