Most people prefer having a non-wood fire feature in their backyard as it eliminates the concerns of collecting firewood, looking out for flying embers, cleaning the ash residue and so on. A natural gas fire pit or propane fire bowl is not only easy to get going and maintain, but you can even use artificial logs to create the look of a natural fire!

And the connection may limit the portability of a fire bowl or table too. The costs will rise a bit if you consider a new gas line just for the fire pit! On the other hand, a propane fire bowl scores high on the convenience scale. All you have to do is ...

If you enjoy hosting weekend barbecues on a regular basis or love to lounge outdoors in the balmy evening air, your backyard is surely screaming for some tiki torches. These ‘fire-on-a-pole’ fixtures are the perfect way to light up the night and add an enlivening allure to the ambience. And when you consider investing in a couple of tiki torches, one of the first criteria is whether you want to go for a regular oil or natural gas tiki torch . The difference is clear – oil tiki torches need a special tiki torch fuel though people often use regular paraffin oil or other variations.

It follows that oil-based tiki torches have to be regularly dismantled and filled with fuel before lighting the wick with a match or lighter. There is the risk of oil spills while filling and the torch has to be carefully extinguished and cooled before storing away. In contrast, gas tiki torches are directly hook...
