![]() Brass does not corrode over time like stainless steel.You may pay more upfront for all brass, but you will pay less over time for these reasons: I wanted to have realistic flames that shoot up high enough to make statement… and to be able to come up higher than the logs. The flame appearance and heat output leaves much to be desired. I have already experienced the typical stainless steel burner with holes punched in it. Second, I decided I’d spend the extra money to get a bowl with a killer burner. No one has ever said, “why do you have a propane line running across your patio?” It doesn’t bother anyone, and the tank just sits around the corner out of sight and out of mind. I didn’t have to do a remodel to get this going, I simply connected my burner to a 20lb propane tank and ran the line under the concrete bowl. The reality is, my propane fire pit does keep me warm… very warm, in fact. Just a year ago we were burning wood and doing the smoke-avoidance dance in order to keep our eyes from melting. No one has the urge to get up and go inside, we just huddle in a little closer and feel the heat really starting to radiate from the logs. The flame is tall, cranking through 9 ceramic logs that look exactly like real wood. We’re enjoying the warmth and beauty of a 180K BTU burner in a beautiful 42″ Legacy Fire Table. ![]() The sun has set, and it’s a balmy 34 degrees Fahrenheit on a spring night in western Montana. I have 7 friends sitting around in Adirondack chairs, enjoying drinks, snacks, and good conversations. You’ve got to basically stick your hands in the fire to warm up. It’s great for creating ambience, but that’s about it. Maybe you’ve experienced this: there’s a beautiful gas fire table or bowl, and you crank it to 11, and the flame is just a few inches high and doesn’t put out the heat. “I don’t think a gas burner is going to be as hot as a wood burning fire.” But there are still hold-outs, and this is what they keep telling me: So why doesn’t everyone just switch to natural gas or propane burners for their fire pits? They light in seconds, they burn clean, and there is little to no smoke. It’s a hassle to light it, smoke gets in your eyes and your clothes, and it can be dangerous in dry climates.
