Frequently Asked Questions
Is gas or wood-burning better for an outdoor fire pit?
Gas fire pits offer instant on/off convenience, cleaner burning, and easier maintenance. Wood-burning pits provide a more traditional ambiance with the crackle and aroma many homeowners love. Both are excellent choices.
How far should a fire pit be from the house?
Most local codes and manufacturers recommend a minimum of 10 feet from any structure, with greater clearance for wood-burning pits.
Can I use a fire pit year-round in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee's mild climate makes fire features usable from early spring through late fall, and on milder winter evenings as well.
Does a fire pit add property value?
Permanent, professionally installed fire features are a desirable luxury outdoor element and contribute positively to a home's overall property value and marketability.
