These tables are safe because their enclosed burners eliminate many risks associated with an open flame. <strong>Propane fire pit tables<\/strong> are incredibly easy to use and ignite instantly when turned on. It&#8217;s much like turning up room temperature with a thermostat. They provide clean heat and are simple to maintain, as there is no ash or embers to clean up afterward. The fuel used in these tables is as essential an ingredient as flour in baking. Additionally, propane fire pits are portable. They can easily be moved because they don&#8217;t require a permanent gas line like a natural gas option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, propane does have a few downsides to consider. It can be quite expensive compared to using wood as fuel. However, this cost may be worth it if you prioritize convenience. Another downside is that tanks must be filled to keep the fire going for extended periods. Fortunately, propane tanks of all sizes are readily available at home supply, hardware and large grocery stores.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"natural-gas-call-a-plumber\">Natural Gas &#8211; Call a Plumber<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Table Buying Guide - Fuel - Natural Gas\" class=\"wp-image-15259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-702x468.jpg 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-natural-gas-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another gas used for firepit tables is natural gas. Like propane, natural gas is easy to light, is virtually smokeless and leaves little if any soot. A major advantage of natural gas is it&#8217;s much cheaper than propane. It also tends to burn cleaner with fewer emissions. However, <strong>natural gas fire pit tables<\/strong> generally require installation by a professional and access to natural gas lines. This could result in a substantial upfront cost to install plumbed gas or extend an existing line to your patio. However, the long-run cost benefit of cheaper fuel costs makes natural gas a great choice. Another consideration is the placement limitation of a natural gas fire table. This is due to the logistics of connecting fixed piping to a tank.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bioethanol-green-with-envy\">Bio-Ethanol &#8211; &#8220;Green&#8221; with Envy<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Table Buying Guide - Fuel - Bio-Ethanol\" class=\"wp-image-15256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-702x468.jpg 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-bio-ethanol-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ethanol is an eco-friendly plant-based alcohol that also burns cleanly. Since it&#8217;s smokeless, bio-ethanol is ideal for windy environments. Unpleasant odors and eye-irritating smoke can ruin a pleasant outdoor affair. <strong>Bio-ethanol fire pit tables<\/strong> produce none of the fumes other gas choices do. This makes them good options for people with respiratory conditions or who are especially sensitive to smoke. Unlike propane and natural gas versions, they don&#8217;t require much ventilation and can be used both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, renewable bio-ethanol can be more expensive and produce less heat output than other fuels. Ethanol fire tables have burner reservoirs that must be filled with liquid fuel. This process can be more challenging than simply turning on a gas valve. Small burners may require frequent refilling and lighting bio-ethanol fires may take a little more effort to light safely. Fortunately, most bio-ethanol fire pit tables include necessary fuel transfer and flame ignition supplies. To avoid running out during the colder months, set up a recurring order with an online retailer that sells bio-fuels. <strong>e-NRG<\/strong> and most other bio-ethanol products are available for home delivery, so you don&#8217;t even have to leave home.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wood-up-in-smoke\">Wood &#8211; Up in Smoke<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Table Buying Guide - Fuel - Wood\" class=\"wp-image-15261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-702x468.jpg 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-wood-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Propane and natural gas offer levels of convenience in terms of cleanliness and ease of use. And let&#8217;s face it, the smell of burning wood during an outdoor gathering can&#8217;t be beaten. If you value ambiance over convenience, a <strong>wood-burning fire pit table<\/strong> may be preferable. Its availability can&#8217;t be beat either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood-burning fire tables are perfect for those looking for the classic bonfire experience but in a controlled environment. These are great if you&#8217;re throwing a casual party. It&#8217;s easy for guests to huddle around the table, warm their hands and enjoy the crackling log. You can set up chairs or throw a cozy blanket on the bench. Either way, it will surely create an unforgettable night for you and your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If opting for a wood-burning fire table, ensure it has a screen cover since sparks and embers can fly out. These types of fire tables require dry wood, regular maintenance and have more visible flames than propane models. Know the size of the table and the temperature its fire can reach to ensure that it&#8217;s appropriate. Wood-burning fire pit tables also need more care. You&#8217;ll have to remove ashes, track stored items and regularly clean to ensure optimal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"firewood\">Firewood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Fire pit tables that burn traditional firewood create an authentic campfire experience. You hear the crackling of logs, see the rustic glowing ambiance and smell the smoke. Firewood is also usually less expensive than gas and can be found at most home improvement stores. Wood-burning tables require a supply of cut and <strong>seasoned firewood<\/strong>. The wood should be stored properly in a sheltered space off the ground to minimize water absorption. Standard firewood may burn unevenly from log to log due to different moisture and wood density.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wood-pellets\">Wood Pellets<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If generating hotter temperatures is the goal, then <strong>wood pellets<\/strong> are a great alternative to firewood. These small cylinders (typically 1&#8243; or less) are made of compressed lumber mill by-products. They burn more consistently and are easier to control than logs, which may move around in a tabletop fire. Flavored grilling hardwood pellets are available at various stores to add a little spice to outdoor cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gel-fuel-no-mousse\">Gel Fuel &#8211; No Mousse<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Table Buying Guide - Fuel - Gel\" class=\"wp-image-15258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-702x468.jpg 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-gel-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A convenient modern alternative to gas and wood is <strong>gel fuel<\/strong>. The semi-viscous fuel burns cleanly like bio-ethanol with no odor or smoke, although it produces little heat. Consequently, gel-fueled firepit tables are best suited for setting a mood and enhancing the ambiance of an outdoor setting. Gel fuel is packaged in small canisters, which light easily, burn quickly and are easy to swap out. Think of them like single-serving coffee capsules or pods &#8211; they&#8217;re great for a quick fix but won&#8217;t last long. Small tins of gel fuel are often used to keep food in metal pans warm (i.e. chafing fuel).<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"charcoal-ember-the-alamo\">Charcoal &#8211; Ember the Alamo<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Table Buying Guide - Fuel - Charcoal\" class=\"wp-image-15257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-702x468.jpg 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-fuel-charcoal-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for great cooking fuel, then <strong>charcoal<\/strong> is certainly something you should consider. It generates even, high heat with a low flame ideal for grilling. It&#8217;s also inexpensive, easy to store and available everywhere. However, charcoal&#8217;s utility and cost-effectiveness do have major drawbacks. First, it doesn&#8217;t produce an inviting flame. Second, it does create a lot of smoke. So, while you might enjoy the fruits of a charcoal fire pit table&#8217;s labors, you probably can&#8217;t eat too closely. You can&#8217;t place one near your home either. Finally, charcoal leaves quite a mess when all is said and done. Consequently, you&#8217;ll need heavy-duty clean-up tools.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fueling-your-fire-table-your-burning-questions-answered\">Fueling your fire table &#8211; Your burning questions answered<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>We had a little fun in this section because doing homework on fuel types is not on anyone&#8217;s top-ten list.
