Is a 24 inch propane fire pit too small?
A 24 inch gas fire pit works well for smaller gatherings and cozier spots but might feel small in larger areas. Consider a medium size fire pit for mid-sized backyards.
How to measure a fire pit cover?
To find the right size for a 24 inch round fire pit cover, first measure the diameter, including any extra parts like spark screens. Also, measure from the ground to the topmost point. Choose a cover a bit bigger to fit any unusual shapes.
Can I use a fire pit on a wooden deck, or should it be placed on a non-combustible surface?
Yes, it's doable but needs caution. For safety, place a heat-resistant pad under the fire pit on the wooden deck to shield it from heat and sparks. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and local rules for using fire pits on wooden surfaces.
What safety precautions should I take when using it on different surfaces?
Put it on non-combustible surfaces like concrete or fire pit pads to avoid heat damage. Keep a safe distance from flammable items and trees. Use a spark screen, have a fire extinguisher or water nearby, and always supervise and fully extinguish the fire when not in use.
