DIY Fire Pit Kits Buyer's Guide

The DIY propane fire pit is not for everyone. There are specific circumstances and people with a particular set of skills who can install DIY fire pits using a fire pit kit. The average consumer looking for an "out of the box" style fire pit to add to the backyard without hassle should think twice about these.

The DIY gas fire pit is designed more for a contractor installing a custom fire pit for a job. But, it could also be for the handy homeowner with a mechanical skill set who wants to customize the look of a unit. In other words, these fire pits are for the people who are in the process of making an outdoor space of their dreams. A DIY kit isn't typically an accent to an already great backyard, although it can be that, too!

See, the keywords here are "Do It Yourself." Buy a burner pan and components and build the enclosure all on your own. Or, buy the enclosure and finish it with a veneer of your choosing.

Customer Q&A with Product Specialists

Ace C. from Newport Beach, CA asked:
Does the material used for construction affect how much heat is generated?
Does the material used for construction affect how much heat is generated?
The material used when constructing a fire pit surround does not affect the amount of heat generated by the burner, nor does the type of media you use on the burner (such as lava rock, glass, or logs). The burner itself and its BTU rating dictate the amount of heat.
