First, it is important to remember that propane is a gas. It is a gas in liquid form, and it comes with space in the tank so that the gas can convert into “real” gas from its liquid from. It does this by “boiling off”. The propane fire pit is raised from the surface, that is, the ground, to allow the actual fire ring to be placed within this raised frame. The propane tank is attached to your home’s gas lines with a pipe. If you are not comfortable with this set-up, you can purchase the enclosed kind, which is slightly more expensive. Enclosed pits are more attractive than the standard one.
Enclosed outdoor propane fire pits are very versatile in terms of styles. Their prices usually range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Some can be customized to match the design of your patio, or your yard. Consider your budget before investing in one.
