What Type of Fuel Should You Choose for Your New Fire Pit?

Fire pits are a great addition to any outdoor space in Iowa, as they provide warmth and ambiance when the weather gets chilly. If you're planning on installing a new fire pit on your property, you'll need to decide what type of fuel you want it to burn. There are three main options to choose from: natural gas, propane, and wood. Both natural gas and propane fire pits are low-maintenance, don't produce smoke, and are easy to turn on and off. However, natural gas-burning fire pits are connected to the main gas line of your property, so they don't need to be refilled. On the other hand, propane-burning fire pits are portable and easy to move around, but they need to be refilled when the tank runs out. The last option is a wood-burning fire pit, which will give you that classic campfire feel, but you'll need to start a fire manually and keep feeding it wood to keep the fire going.

Natural Gas-Burning Fire Pits Are Convenient to Use & Easy to Maintain

If you want a fire pit that is easy to use and convenient to maintain, then a natural gas-burning fire pit is the way to go. That's because natural gas-burning fire pits are easy to turn on and off. After all, all you have to do is press a button, and they don't produce smoke, so you won't have to worry about your clothes smelling like smoke when you use them. What's more, natural gas-burning fire pits are low-maintenance and don't require much cleanup because there aren't any embers or ashes to clean up after you use them.

Propane-burning fire pits are similar to gas-burning ones, but run off of propane tanks.

Another popular fuel option for fire pits is propane. Propane-burning fire pits offer similar benefits to natural gas-burning ones, but run off of propane tanks. They are easy to use and produce no smoke, so you can enjoy the warmth of the fire without dealing with smoke, soot, or ash. However, they do need to be refilled with propane every once in a while.

Wood-burning fire pits provide a cozy campfire feel.

Wood-burning fire pits are a great option if you want to experience the classic campfire feel. They are easy to start a fire with wood, and you can add more wood to the fire to keep it going as long as you want. However, they do require more maintenance and cleanup because they produce soot and ash. You'll need to start a fire with wood and tend to the fire throughout its use, and you'll need to clean up the soot and ash after you use it. They also produce smoke, so you'll need to make sure you don't mind the smell of smoke or your clothes smelling like smoke when you use it.
