Explore the Benefits and Styles of Fire Pit Tables
Dual-Purpose Functionality: Outdoor fire pit tables serve as both a heating source and usable tabletop, offering space for drinks, snacks, and more while maintaining a welcoming flame centerpiece.
Clean, Modern Designs: Available in a variety of shapes and finishes, patio fire pit tables complement modern patios and traditional settings alike with sleek lines and cohesive styling. Concrete fire pit tables from brands like Elementi bring a particularly architectural look.
Convenient Operation: Most gas fire pit tables use propane or natural gas for instant ignition and adjustable flame control, making them easier and cleaner to use than traditional wood-burning fire features.
How to Choose the Right Fire Pit Table
Fuel Type: Gas fire pit tables come in two flavors: propane powered fire pit tables offer portability and ease of use since they don't require a fixed gas line, while natural gas fire pit tables connect directly to your home's gas line for permanent installation. Propane is plug-and-play; natural gas is cleaner for long-term operation but requires a licensed installer.
Materials: Common fire pit table materials include powder-coated aluminum, concrete composite, GFRC concrete, and stainless steel. Concrete fire pit tables from Elementi feature handcrafted GFRC construction; The Outdoor GreatRoom Company offers powder-coated metal, Supercast concrete, and mosaic tile finishes. Choose a material that resists your local climate and complements your outdoor decor.
Shape and Size: Round and square fire pit tables are great for intimate groups and conversation, while rectangular fire pit tables provide ample surface area and suit sectional seating arrangements. Linear designs work especially well behind sofas or along narrow patios. For compact patios, balconies, and intimate seating arrangements, browse our small fire pit tables (24–36"). For entertaining larger groups, see our large fire pit tables (48"+) that seat 6–12 guests.
Height — Coffee, Bar, or Dining: Standard fire pit coffee tables sit at coffee-table height (typically 18–24" tall), designed for lounging with low chairs around them. Bar height fire pit tables run 36–42" tall for use with bar stools — great for outdoor kitchens and standing entertainment. Fire pit dining tables are 28–30" tall — full dining height — designed for actual meals with standard dining chairs.
Features: Look for options like push-button ignition, flame adjustment, hidden propane tank storage, and included covers or wind guards. Some fire pit tables with propane tank inside the base offer the cleanest look by keeping the cylinder fully concealed — browse fire pits with hidden tank storage for those models specifically. Other models include matching lid inserts that convert the fire bowl into a full table when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do fire pit tables actually keep you warm?
Yes — especially higher-BTU models. Most gas fire pit tables put out 40,000–65,000 BTUs, which is enough to keep a circle of seated guests comfortably warm in spring, fall, and mild winter conditions. The warmth radiates outward from the flame, so the closer your seating is to the table, the more heat you'll feel. For maximum warmth in colder climates, look at models in the 55,000+ BTU range.
What's the difference between a fire pit table and a fire pit dining table?
Regular fire pit tables are coffee-table height (typically 18–24" tall), designed for lounging with low chairs around them — also called fire pit coffee tables. Fire pit dining tables are 28–30" tall — full dining height — designed for actual meals with standard dining chairs. Pick based on how you plan to use it: cocktails and lounging vs. full meals at the table.
Can I use a fire pit table under a covered patio?
Some fire pit tables are rated for use under covered areas with proper ventilation. Always review the manufacturer's clearance requirements (typically 8+ feet of vertical clearance) and check local building codes before installing under a covered structure.
Do fire pit tables get hot to the touch?
The burner area itself will be hot during operation, but most fire pit tables are designed to keep the surrounding tabletop surface cooler and safe for light use. The space immediately around the burner is intended for decorative items, not bare hands — caution is still advised.
How is the propane tank stored on a fire pit table?
Most propane fire pit tables include hidden storage compartments for standard 20-lb tanks, keeping the fuel source concealed and the design streamlined. These fire pit tables with propane tank inside the base are accessed through a hinged side door for easy refueling.
Are fire pit tables weather-resistant?
Many fire pit tables are constructed from outdoor-rated materials but should still be covered when not in use. Using a protective cover (often sold separately) helps extend the life and appearance of your fire pit table through harsh winters and heavy sun exposure.
Do fire pit tables require professional installation?
Propane fire pit tables are generally plug-and-play — connect the tank, ignite, done. Natural gas fire pit tables require a licensed gas technician to connect to your home's gas line safely.
Explore the full range of fire pit tables — including propane powered fire pit options, natural gas models, low-profile fire pit coffee tables, full-height fire pit dining tables, and concrete fire pit tables — to elevate your patio with stylish warmth and practical functionality. Browse by size: small fire pit tables for compact patios or large fire pit tables for group entertaining.
