“Bought this to add a bit of warmth to our deck since we can only socialize outdoors this year! Easy to set up and it works well,” reads one review. “I bought the Natural Gas adapter kit since we have gas outside - easy to switch from propane and the fire pit is ready to go anytime we want to gather outside.”
It’s also a hit among campers, who have been able to bring this fire pit along for family trips as an alternative to potentially dangerous campfires.
“Great fireplace for a great price. I bring it along in my car while camping, as I live in a place that has a lot of wood fire bans in the summer, and this is an amazing alternative,” noted one reviewer. “Even when hosting parties it's great to put in the yard. Throws off a lot of heat!”
While this fire pit is designed for use with propane tanks, if you’d prefer to hook it up to a natural gas line, you’ll have to purchase the additional Natural Gas Conversion Kit 780, which retails for $80.
