- How much heat does 40,000 BTU give off?
- It is mid-range for a propane fire pit. Expect a comfortable zone around a sofa or dining set on a cool evening, not whole-yard warmth. Larger 50,000 to 60,000 BTU pits throw more heat but burn propane faster.
- Does it come with a propane tank?
- No. Fuel is propane and the tank is not included, so you supply a standard grill-style tank. Lava rocks, a waterproof cover and assembly tools are in the box.
- What is the MGO body like compared with steel?
- Magnesium oxide is a dense cement-like composite that handles sun, rain and temperature swings better than painted steel, which can rust at seams. The trade-off is weight: the unit is about 70 lbs.
- How is it assembled?
- Assembly is required and the manual and tools are included. Plan on two people for the 70 lb body and a flat, level surface away from overhead cover.
- Is it safe on a wooden deck?
- Propane pits give off less radiant heat downward than wood-burning ones, but keep clearance from railings and overhead structures and follow the manual's distances. Never use it indoors or in an enclosed space.
- How does it compare with a round fire bowl?
- The rectangular top gives a longer flame line that suits a sofa or dining table, while round bowls fit tighter corners. Output and materials are similar; pick by the shape of your seating.
