It has to be natural gas due to various fire code and zoning things that I won't get into. We do have a hookup in the exterior of our home for this.
I am looking for durability and safety. After a bit of googling, I read some terrifying reviews about like the fake rocks exploding and burning holes in people's couches, or the surrounding materials cracking under heat etc. so I thought I would ask for recommendations of tried and true ones.
Edit: Specifically looking for a fire table like this type (although I know West Elm is decidedly not BIFL) https://www.westelm.com/products/mp-rutland-rectangle-fire-pit-table-h12527/ not like a thing where you can cook food on top of.

I'm trying to find a natural gas fire table we can use for dining (6-8 person), but one that can be upgraded to natural gas. We have used propane in the past and got tired of constant tank changes. We upgraded our deck and have since piped NG line to our grill and LOVE it. We would love to do this with a fire table as well for outdoor dining but I can't for the life of me find a dining table that is convertible. I can find stand-alone, long, fire pits that can be upgraded, but nothing for the dining tables.
This is the type of table I'm talking about: https://www.bbqguys.com/i/3108600/darlee/brooklyn-9-piece-aluminum-patio-dining-set-w-60-inch-square-propane-fire-pit-dining-table-sesame-cushions
I could just change the orifice on a propane-style table, but not really my comfort zone if it's not made for it. That was all I had to do for our grill.
Thanks for your help/suggestions!
