#BUILD A RECTANGLE FIRE PIT PRO#

You can always run a larger diameter line and hide the tank in an inconspicuous location.Still relatively small and easy to move.This is a better option for most of our burners from 100K to 200k BTUs.Remedy this by using two tanks connected together

What that means is that after 45 minutes or so, the flame only goes to about half. Results may vary, and it is common for the fuel to “freeze up” with burners 180K BTUs and up.Burn time varies from 6-12 hours, depending on how hot you run it.The Canyonlands Fire Table is a complete unit that can have a self-contained propane tank.A standard 20lb/5 gallon BBQ propane tank can be used for burner systems 180K BTUs and under.This is why the size of the gas line is so important. You need both pressure and volume to get a great flame. If you reduce the nozzle size significantly, you may have a ton of pressure, but it’s going to take longer to fill up the pool. Think about it like filling up a swimming pool. You can have great gas pressure, but if your line is too small, you may not get the desired flame.

Pro Tip: if you haven’t installed your gas line yet, consider running it in conduit so that if you ever need to repair or change it, you won’t have to dig it up.

Number of appliances, whether it’s a dedicated line or not all these factors play a role in volume and pressure.

Running different sized lines over various distances is acceptable, but for maximum fuel volume, run larger lines over long distances.

Adding a 90 degree angle in your line adds the equivalent of 5 feet of distance.

Using angled couplings can reduce the volume/flow of fuel.

*Make sure the BTUs from your line can supply at least 60-70% of what the burner is rated at. For a rough estimate, utilize our gas line sizing charts below. For the most accurate assessment, consult a fuel professional. In order to get the proper volume and pressure of fuel, you need a gas line that is large enough in diameter to carry it sufficiently. Most commonly they are rated at 250K BTUsĮven though the standard key valve inlet is 3/4″, you may need a larger gas line to span long distances.

Check the side of your gas meter for a BTU rating.

Would be difficult to change the fire feature’s location after installation.

Might require a longer gas line, depending on where your fire feature will live.

The volume and pressure can be affected by other appliances.

May require upgraded meter or larger diameter fuel lines to provide adequate BTUs.

Limited to what’s available in your area.

Slightly cleaner burning less soot build up.

Since it’s lighter than air and rises, there’s less likelihood of unwanted fuel accumulation in the vessel.

You won’t run out, so burn to your heart’s content without the dreaded “we’re out of gas”.

Clients of ours have reported $0.25 – $0.75 per hour

Cheaper to burn you probably won’t even notice an increase in your gas bill.

Black soot tends to build up faster on fire media such as ceramic logs and cannonballs (it can be cleaned off).

Hiding the propane tank can present new aesthetic challenges.

If, down the road, you need to convert from LP to NG or vice-versa, you can do so by purchasing replacement jets from us at $25 each. The difference between LP and NG Warming Trends burners are the “jets”. There are various pros/cons of Liquid Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG).

You can still purchase higher BTU burners without the premium ignition, and we will ship it with a fitting that limits the burner to 65K BTUs in the case that you’d like to have it certified.

Combine it with a dial timer to increase safety and ease.

Our Premium Electronic Ignition system has the proper fuel and flame censors to automatically shut down the fire when needed.

Most metropolitan areas in Canada will require an automatic shutoff for fire pits over 65K BTUs in order to get a permit or certification.
