Gas or Wood – Which Fire Pit To Choose? 🔥 🔥

The joy of gathering around a fire with friends and family has many people rushing to purchase a fire pit for their backyard. When it comes to choosing a fire feature, the first consideration is obviously whether you want a wood burning fire or a gas powered one.

Outdoor wood fire pits have a charm of their own while gas fire pits have a lot of benefits working in their favor.

The sizzle and smell of burning wood just cannot be replicated by modern fuel based fire pits. This is definitely an ‘authentic’ fire, but the associated tasks of gathering firewood, tending the fire, getting smoke in your eyes and being wary of flying embers can be extremely frustrating or an absolute delight, depending on how you look at it. Ensuring that the fire is snuffed out properly and cleaning up the residue ash the next day obviously goes with the territory.

On the other hand, a natural gas or propane fire pit makes things as easy as the flip of a switch. Convenience and comfort is guaranteed as you can get the fire going instantly. There is no need to store wood either as all you have to do is hook up the fire pit to a gas line or propane tank. You can do away with the safety hazards of burning wood and don’t even have to wait for the fire to extinguish completely. What’s more, simple adjustments allow you to control the height and temperature of the flame too. You can further beautify the fire with lava rocks, stones, balls, gas logs and the like.
