Why choose a gas fire pit?

Pros

• Quick start-up and cutoff at the flip of a switch

• Clean operating conditions meaning no clean-up

• Adds a relaxing ambiance with very minimal effort

• No odor on clothes from smoke

• No discomfort or moving around from blowing smoke

• No gathering or lighting of wood required

• Full control of fire

Cons

• Smaller fires that are controlled

• Cost of installation compared to wood-burning fire pits, but attractive to look at before and after fire

 

Pros

• Bigger fires 

• Entertainment by involvement of stoking the fire

• More warmth and heat compared to gas fire pits

Cons

• Smell of burning wood and smoke sticks to clothing

• Starting a fire takes a lot of effort and can be time-consuming and costly

• Cleaning up ashes and fire pit after each fire

• Blowing smoke can create discomfort and constantly moves direction

• An area is needed to stockpile all the wood

• Storing of wood can create an ideal area for bugs and animals to nest

• Local ordinances and restrictions may prohibit open burning

• Less control of fire
