What size gas bottle does this fire pit use?

This fire pit accommodates propane gas bottles up to 5kg capacity underneath the base. It specifically requires clip-on or push-on propane bottles only - screw-on bottles are not compatible. The gas bottle sits hidden within the base structure and connects via the included regulator and 1-metre hose. Standard UK propane bottles from suppliers like Calor Gas work perfectly.

How do I light the fire pit?

The fire pit features a hidden electronic piezo ignition system that lights with a simple button press. Insert one AAA battery (included) into the ignition unit, ensure your gas bottle is connected and turned on, then press the ignition button whilst turning the control knob. The system creates a spark that ignites the gas instantly without matches or lighters.

Is the fire pit weatherproof for year-round outdoor use?

The fire pit has a weather-resistant stone effect finish, but the included lightweight PVC cover only protects against light showers. For winter storage or extreme weather conditions, you'll need a heavy-duty outdoor cover. The base construction is designed to prevent cracking from temperature changes, but proper covering extends the product's lifespan significantly.

How much heat does this fire pit produce?

This fire pit generates 40,000 BTU (12KW) of heat output, which effectively warms outdoor areas up to approximately 4-5 metres radius. The adjustable flame control lets you reduce heat for warmer evenings or increase output for colder conditions. This BTU rating is suitable for small to medium garden gatherings of 6-8 people comfortably.

Does the fire pit require assembly?

The fire pit arrives pre-assembled - you only need to connect your propane gas bottle using the included regulator and hose. The lava rocks may need arranging in the fire bowl and you'll insert the AAA battery into the ignition system. No tools or complex assembly is required, making setup quick and straightforward.

Can I adjust the flame height and intensity?

Yes, the fire pit includes adjustable flame controls that let you vary heat output from low to high settings. Turn the control knob to increase flame height for more heat or reduce for ambient lighting. This flexibility allows you to customise the fire based on weather conditions, group size and desired atmosphere throughout your gathering.

What safety certifications does this fire pit have?

This fire pit is ETL approved, meeting North American safety standards for outdoor gas appliances. The certification covers the gas connection system, ignition components and overall construction safety. The unit burns propane cleanly without producing ash or sparks, making it safer than traditional wood-burning fire pits for patio use.

How long will a 5kg gas bottle last?

A 5kg propane bottle typically provides 8-12 hours of burn time on high heat settings, or up to 15-20 hours on lower flame settings. Usage depends on flame height, weather conditions and how frequently you adjust the controls. The clean-burning propane produces consistent heat output throughout the bottle's capacity without performance degradation.
