Fire Pit Inserts Make The Fire Pit

When it comes to choosing a fire feature for your home or office, you will find yourself choosing between a wood burning fire pit or a gas/propane powered one. You will also have to consider the type of fire feature you want – a full scale fire pit, a multi-purpose fire table or a dainty fire bowl. Not to mention the decisions regarding the material, color, size and so on.

Even while your mind is blown away by the dazzling variety of options in fire features available at online vendors like Outdoor Fire & Patio (www.outdoorfireandpatio.com), you will also have to consider other equipment – like the kind of gas fire pit inserts you want to use. And there’s another massive range in store here…..

A general rule of thumb when selecting an appropriate fire pit insert is to go by the shape and size of the fire feature. Circular, square and rectangular drop-in pans are most commonly used in fire pits. The size can vary depending on the fire feature and how much flame you want.

It is best if the burner pan is made of stainless steel as it will be durable and can withstand extreme heat and weather conditions. Do ensure that the steel pan also has a lip as this will make it easy to install and remove it whenever you want.

Pay particular attention to the shape of the burner ring in the pan. The burner is usually circular with a cross bar design that facilitates better flame distribution or linear. But you can also opt for a star, bullet or other unique design to lend an interesting twist to the flame. And always ensure that the port holes are individually drilled and not punched, as this will which prevent loud whistling noises.

You also get a choice of ignition mechanism for the gas fire pit inserts – it can be a manual push button or even automated remote ignition for easier operation.
