Fire Tables

What types of fuel do Fire Tables typically use, and which option is best for my setup?
A: Most fire tables run on propane or natural gas. Propane tanks are easy to install and replace, making them ideal if you don’t have a natural gas line. Natural gas can be more cost-effective long term but requires a professional connection to your home’s gas line. Consider your outdoor layout and convenience preferences when deciding between the two.

Are Fire Tables safe to use on my deck or patio?
A: Yes, most fire tables are designed with safety in mind, featuring sturdy materials and stable bases. Look for models with certified safety standards (e.g., CSA, UL). Always keep combustible items and decorations a safe distance away, follow the manufacturer’s clearance guidelines, and make sure your space is well-ventilated to avoid gas buildup.

How should I choose the right size and design for my outdoor area?
A: Measure your available space and leave enough room for seating and foot traffic. Fire tables come in round, rectangular, and square designs. Rectangular tables are great for larger patios or dining areas, while smaller round or square tables fit more intimate spots. Match the aesthetic—modern, rustic, or traditional—to your existing outdoor décor.

What materials and features should I look for to ensure durability?
A: Popular, long-lasting materials include powder-coated metal, stainless steel, concrete composite, or natural stone. These resist rust, weather, and heat. Features like an ignition system for quick startups, adjustable flame control, and a heat-resistant tabletop surface add both safety and convenience. A protective cover can also help guard against the elements.

How much maintenance do Fire Tables require?
A: Maintenance is typically straightforward. Keep the burner area free of debris, and occasionally clean any lava rocks or glass beads according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Wipe down the table surface with a mild cleaner to remove dirt or spills, and check the gas connections periodically for leaks. Storing the table under a waterproof cover when not in use can further extend its lifespan.
