9 Best Fire Pits Propane And Wood Burning

Wood vs. Propane Fire Pits

There’s nothing better than watching the sun go down while sitting by a warm fire pit to make memories.  Unfortunately, most of us think these memories are only made while camping or sitting in the mountains at some fantastic resort.

If this is your mindset, nothing could be further from the truth. People are now looking a little closer to home – their backyards.

You don’t need to have a large backyard. There are a variety of sizes and shapes in all price ranges that will enhance any backyard.  Before you run out and purchase one, there are a few things you may want to consider. Do you want propane or wood burning?  Each has its benefits. 

We’re going to give some benefits of both propane and wood-burning firepits and give you nine of our favorites.  

Wood-Burning Fire Pits

Traditional wood-burning pits give off a certain comfort. The smell of the burning wood, for one, can bring you back to your childhood. Then there’s the crackle the fire makes as it burns. Between the sounds and smells, it’s not difficult to dream of your wood-burning fire pit ready to warm you on those crisp fall and winter evenings. 

Before you buy, remember you need to take some precautions so your fire doesn’t become out of control.  When using a wood-burning fireplace, you would use some of the same precautions you would if you were putting out a campfire. For more information on putting out a fire pit, click here.

Quick Steps to putting out a wood-burning fire pit

• Have at least an hour without placing new wood or fuel on your fire so that it dies down and becomes cool enough to put out.
• Douce with water or dirt and make sure all embers are cool to the touch
• OR buy a snuffer that deprives your fire of oxygen, and it will put itself out. The snuffer will also contain your embers.

Propane Fire Pit

Propane fire pits are a great backyard choice.  Let’s face it – we don’t always have time to start our fire and wait for it to die out. Most of the time, we have a few minutes while dinner is cooking or before we put the kids to bed. In these cases, why not have a fire pit that you flip on as quickly as your barbeque grill? With propane, you can. When life calls, flip a switch to turn it on and off. While it’s true you won’t get the crackle and smell of real wood, sometimes the ease is worth the sacrifice.
