Wood-Burning Fire Pit
One of the most popular types of fire pit is the wood-burning fire pit. These pits offer a variety of benefits that make them a great choice for anyone who loves spending time outdoors. One of the biggest advantages of a wood-burning fire pit is that it can produce a small, moderate, or large fire, depending on your desires. If you want to keep things cozy, you can add just a few pieces of wood to your pit and enjoy a small fire. Or, if you’re looking to really heat things up, you can add more wood to create a larger fire. Another great thing about wood-burning fire pits is that once the wood has burned down and only embers remain, they can be used as an effective cooking fire. This is perfect for roasting marshmallows or cooking other BBQ foods. And, because wood-burning fire pits produce the most heat, they can be used year-round, even in the colder months.

Propane Fire Pit
If you’re looking for a fire pit or outdoor fireplace that’s easy to use and doesn’t require any clean-up, then a propane fire pit is the perfect choice for you. One of the main advantages of propane fire pits is that you don’t have to clean up any messy soot or ash afterward. They will burn clean and without you needing to feed wood or any other material into it, to keep the fire going. Plus, you can still roast your marshmallows and enjoy delicious S’mores over a propane fire pit! It’s no secret that propane, or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), is a popular cooking fuel that’s commonly used in barbeque grills. So not only are they easy to use, but they’re also great for entertaining guests and feeding a crowd. And, because they come in a variety of sizes, you can find the perfect propane fire pit for your needs, whether you’re looking for something small and intimate or large and in charge.

Natural Gas Fire Pit
Natural gas fire pits are becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons. For starters, natural gas burns cleaner than wood or propane. This means that you won’t have to worry about any messy soot or ash buildup afterward. Additionally, it does not burn as bright of a yellow color, which can be more aesthetically pleasing for some people. A softer flame gives you a more subtle and relaxing ambiance to enjoy. And financially, natural gas may be a better choice because it costs less to operate. Without the constant worry of feeding wood into the fire, gas fire pits are easier to control for consistent heat and eliminate unpredictable, flying sparks for increased safety. Additionally, they run on liquid propane gas or natural gas, which is clean burning. So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly option that’s also easy to use and maintain, then a natural gas fire pit is the perfect choice for you.

Gel Fuel Fire Pit
Gel fuel fire pits and outdoor fireplaces are vent-free and easy to use. They’re also environmentally friendly to use and don’t harm human health. It does not produce a large amount of heat, but some gels even crackle like a wood-burning fire. This gives you the meditative and soothing sounds of a wood-burning fire, without the mess and pollution. Gel fuel fireplaces come in a wide range of customizable styles, including fire pits, fire tables, fire bowls, and traditional fireplaces. Some of our Compass Outdoor Design models are small which makes them easily portable, so they can be carried indoors or out. This is great for renters, campers, and more! Our outdoor units operate just like indoor fireplaces with gel cans placed inside the unit. When you’re ready to light your fireplace, simply place the gel cans inside the unit, light them with a long match or lighter, and enjoy your warm, cozy fire.
