Flame King 19" Portable Propane Fire Pit vs Bali Outdoors 50000 BTU Propane Fire Pit

Buy the Flame King if you want the most heat and the longest hose run from the tank; its 58,000 BTU output beats the Bali's 50,000, and the 10 ft hose gives more placement freedom. Buy the Bali Outdoors if you want the better-liked, better-built unit: it scores higher with owners (4.6 from 217 ratings vs 4.5 from 109) and its steel body and carry handle draw fewer complaints. Both light with a piezo ignitor and run on standard BBQ tanks. Flame King owners report paint flaking on the rim and a flimsy lid and knob; Bali owners mostly praise the sturdy steel and stable base.

• Choose the Flame King if you need maximum heat for cold nights or a long hose run to a 20 to 40 lb tank.
• Choose the BALI OUTDOORS if you want the sturdier build and stronger owner record for patio and tailgate use.
