Types of Fire Pits

There are three different types of fire pits you can install, depending on your preferences and budget. You can install a natural gas fire pit, which is the most popular choice, easy to light and safe. While it provides less warmth, it doesn’t cause smoke. You can also use propane fire pits, these are also easy to install, light quickly and don’t cause smoke. A wood-burning fireplace, however, provides optimal warmth, while being more expensive, and liable to produce sparks, smoke and embers.
