Fire Pit FAQ

Looking to create the ideal backyard atmosphere? Our fire pit FAQ answers your top questions right away, covering fire pit use, setup, and safety tips. Explore a range of stylish, functional fire pit tables from Ashley furniture, designed to deliver comfort and warmth while enhancing your outdoor space.

What is the best type of fire pit?

When selecting a fire pit, certain key factors will help you make a safe, enjoyable choice for your outdoor space.

Table Shape & Setting
The shape of your fire pit table impacts both style and usability. Round tables work well for small gatherings, encouraging conversation. Square tables can seat more people and maximize space for larger groups.

Material Quality
Material affects durability and maintenance. Porcelain offers durability and is easy to clean. Metal options like steel or cast iron handle heat and frequent use well. Stone or concrete fire pits provide a classic look but may need extra weather protection to retain their appearance.

Heat Features
Choose fire pits with adjustable flames, wind guards, and spark screens to ensure comfort and safety. Adding lava rocks boosts heat output and provides a decorative touch.

Budget Comparison
Fuel type plays a big role in cost:
  • Wood-burning fire pits tend to be most affordable but require wood and regular cleaning.
  • Propane gas fire pits are moderately priced, ignite quickly, and offer consistent flames.
  • Natural gas fire pits have higher installation costs, but lower long-term expenses and minimal maintenance once set up.
Safe Operation by Fire Pit Type
Safe use varies by type:
  • Wood-burning: Place on a flat, non-flammable surface, 10 feet from structures. Use dry wood, keep water or an extinguisher nearby, and fully douse embers after use.
  • Propane gas: Use outside in well-ventilated spaces, check hoses for leaks, follow manufacturer instructions, and turn off gas and cover after use.
  • Natural gas: Always use outside, ensure professional installation, check for leaks, keep clear space around the pit, and have an accessible shut-off valve.
Taking these factors into account will help you choose a fire pit that matches your space and budget while keeping safety and comfort in focus.

How to set up a fire pit

Here are essential steps for a safe and efficient fire pit setup:
  • Choose propane, natural gas, or select a portable metal fire pit
  • For gas connections, hire a licensed professional for installation
  • Check local safety code compliance
If you’re assembling a portable metal fire pit for the first time, follow this checklist:

First-Time Use Checklist
  • Remove all packaging materials and protective films
  • Assemble the fire pit according to the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Inspect for any shipping damage or missing parts
  • Place the fire pit on a level, non-combustible surface in a well-ventilated area
  • For models with painted finishes, “cure” the paint:
  • Start a small fire using minimal fuel
  • Allow the fire to burn for 30–60 minutes to set the paint and prevent peeling during future use
  • Let the pit cool completely before building a full-size fire
Proper setup and first-time use ensure safety, prolong the life of your fire pit, and allow for easier upgrades if needed in the future. Always review the manufacturer's instructions before getting started.
