When choosing a fire pit for your backyard it’s important to do your due diligence and understand the differences between a wood fire pit and a gas fire one. While there are many factors that should influence your decision, we have found that gas fire pits are overall cleaner, easier to maintain, and most importantly – safer.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy solution, a do-it-yourself wood fire pit can be made from most soft ground by simply digging a deep hole, placing pieces of chopped and dried firewood, adding some lighter fluid and lighting a match. A better option than this would be to purchase a wood fire pit bowl for a more sophisticated fire experience, but while these solutions allow you to create a fire quickly and without much planning, there are numerous health and safety risks you’ll assume with a wood fire. Wood fire pits are also less customizable and aesthetically pleasing than their gas fire counterparts.
First and foremost, any wood fire pit has the potential to burn out of control and cause a huge risk to your fire safety. Burning wood creates embers that can float away from your fire pit. Embers landing on your skin can cause painful burns, potentially even leaving scars. They can also float away onto combustible material and quickly spread the fire from your contained wood fire pit to a larger and unmanageable area that quickly gets out of control. Wood fires also create billows of smoke that can sting your eyes, and the ever-shifting wind guarantees that no seat is safe from this smoke.
If you do, however, decide that a wood fire pit is best for your needs, make sure that it’s made from a high-quality metal such as copper or bronze. Many models even come standard with a spark screen to prevent flying embers, which is a no-brainer when it comes to safety.
If you’ve done the research and are ready to make a commitment to this exciting purchase, you’re sure to agree that a gas fire pit is worth the investment. There are so many added benefits with this type of fire pit that you just can’t find with a wood one.
The best part of gas fire pits is that many offer you the option of using natural gas, which gives a 99% clean burn.
Gas fire pits offer a clean and effective way to enjoy the warmth and beauty of fire without any of the health or safety hazards of a traditional wood fire. No need to fear flying embers or burnt pieces of wood. Another feature you’ll only get with a gas fire pit is the high-to-low control knob conveniently placed on the side. This allows you to control the heat output, ensuring that your fire is always 100% perfect for you and your family.
When you’re evening has ended and its time to go to sleep, simply turn the control knob all the way down to immediately shut off the flames. No more hauling heavy water buckets to extinguish the flames! Your fire can now be shut off with the simple touch of a button.
Another added bonus of a gas fire pit is that it doubles as a beautiful piece of art when not being used. An idle gas fire pit brings class and sophistication to any space, and offers a unique way to customize your home. We offer a variety of options for all styles and tastes, including large stones and mosaic patterns. Oriflame fire tables even let you completely customize the design, from shape to color to stones!
Gas fire tables are already a massive improvement in convenience compared to their wood-burning fire pit relatives, but did you know that you can convert an Oriflamme Gas Fire Table to natural gas? Natural gas has gained popularity in recent years due to the convenience and growing-availability of it. Grills, pools, hot tubs, spas and fireplaces can all be heated with natural gas, and now so can your favorite fire table. With a simple conversion piece, the Oriflamme is one of the easiest conversions to natural gas on the market.

When my fiance and I began to plan our wedding this Spring, I began to understand why little girls start dreaming up their weddings before elementary school; because of the massive amount of detail to the event. While I’m letting her handle all the finer points (like the difference between deep purple and plum color bridesmaid dresses) I have started to think of the other things people remember about weddings. Usually it’s not the color of the candles around the room or the table cloths, but things like the stories shared about the couple after the reception over a glass of wine. Since this is what I remember from weddings, I looked for something that could bring people together outside on the September night of our wedding.
I love being outside on a warm fall night with my fiancé, and that’s one of the reasons we picked a September date for our wedding. Having the reception at a place we could go outside was important to us, so we picked classic style club house overlooking the course. One thing I’m looking forward to having on the deck of the clubhouse is a gas fire table. The more I’ve looked into these particular fire tables, the more I’ve wanted one at our wedding reception. It looks classy but is a fun and interesting centerpiece for guests to mingle around after dinner. One idea we had for the fire pit is to set up some comfy chairs to sit around it in and then have a bag of marshmallows for the kids (or adults!) to roast over the flame.
Since we have 3 different colors for our wedding, we could mix in those colors into the fire glass on the table to add a personal touch for the evening. Another fun idea to do with the fire glass would be to spell out the date or our names in glass in the gas burner. One would be great to sit around with guests on a beautiful fall night. Since the deck on the clubhouse is larger, we could have a couple of different fire pits on the deck so more people could migrate outside. Since the fire pit would run on gas, no one will leave smelling like smoke or get dirty in the ashes. Anyone who has set up decorations at a wedding knows it could be a nightmare if it’s too complicated, but a fire table is so simple to set up we won’t waste any time while we decorate.
I would love to look back on our wedding and see photos of people mingling, laughing and relaxing on a beautiful fall night. My fiancé and I both hope to have a classic wedding that people we will remember for a long time, and will have had a full night of enjoyment. Gas fire pits would be an awesome addition to a wedding reception, something people will remember sitting around for years to come!
Hello everyone. I have been thinking about writing for a while. The only issue is trying to figure out the important topics that you would be interested in. After traveling across the country and completing 5 weeks of home and garden shows, I realize I get a lot of questions that I could probably talk about here on the blog.
The first question that I would like to discuss is, “Can I use the Urban Fire Glass in my fire pit or fire table?”
It is really important that everyone understands the difference between the fire pit tables that are designed for the fire glass vs. the gas logs, wood, or lava rock. Some fire tables for example, the Oriflamme Fire pit table, are specifically designed for the fire glass. It uses either propane or natural gas. If your table is hooked up to natural gas then you should be good to go. Natural gas is clean burning therefore it should not create soot and will allow you glass to stay clean. Propane on the other hand is another story. Normally, if your fire table or fire pit or fire table uses propane and is not specifically designed for the fireglass, I suggest that you stay away from using it. The main reason being that it will turn black from the soot. Propane is not clean burning like natural gas is therefore you will always have some kind of soot, UNLESS the system actually cleans the propane prior to it hitting the glass by mixing in air. This is what the Oriflamme Fire table does to prevent the fire glass from turning completely black. What is the point if it starts looking dirty? It is certainly not pretty to look at. Another point to take note of is that is also the burner design that makes the fire glass look cool. I will write about that on my next blog so stay tuned.
Anyhow, be sure to do your research and ask if the fire table was designed for the fire glass before buying a outdoor fire pit table. Please note there are some companies excited to sell you the glass regardless of what it looks like. AllBackyardfun.com is not one of these companies. We strive to provide you with a product you can show off to all your family and friends. That’s it for now. Be sure to call us if you have any questions 1-800-451-2550. Thank you.
While a table which incorporates a central gas fire pit may seem like a novelty, a fire pit table is a highly practical and useful heating device. A heating solution which makes an attractive centerpiece can be used on outdoor patio areas as well as inside, as gas fires do not smoke out the home and are safer as they do not present the problem of jumping embers. A fire pit table can even be used in sweltering heat, as an ice bucket insert can be used where the pit opening lies.
When you purchase a fire pit table, you can choose from various designs, and different patterns formed by the way in which the gas burner is constructed. Fire pit designs to compliment any outdoor or indoor area can easily be found, and can be useful both when lit and when inactive. If you have a fire pit, you can purchase wood furniture to place around it, woods such as teak are attractive and last well.
