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!

Hi everyone! We just closed on a house and are looking into getting a fire table for the backyard. We see that there are generally two options - propane and natural gas. I did some research and want to go with natural gas because I don’t need to run to the store to buy gas.

With that said, how do I know if my backyard has a natural gas source to hook up to the table? We have natural gas heating & stove inside the house. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

I am trying to convert a fire table to natural gas. The fire table used propane but would suck down bottles after just a few nights.

I ran a gas line to the table and have everything connected however the flame is way too weak. There is a fitting which contains a red dot located right near the base of the burner element on the outside of the bowl.

When I blew through the valve the flow did NOT seem restricted. The line which is feeding this fire table also feeds a natural gas grill which functions just fine.

My question is what could be causing such a small flame. I ordered a hose and regulator kit from Amazon and took off the regulator believing that perhaps it was slowing the flow down too much. Spoiler, it was not... Any ideas or should I just go back to using the propane tank and looking into getting a larger one.

Here is the red dot fitting: https://imgur.com/a/zvbLBNi

We recently purchased a home that has an outdoor fire pit that is connected for natural gas. We are trying to get it running and need some help. On the side of the house there is a red valve that was closed and there is a valve key to turn on the key. When opening the red valve and opening the key valve, gas does not flow. Is there another step?

We have been trying to find a decent fire pit table for our deck. The natural gas options are much more limited than propane and are significantly more expensive. I have seen conversion kits for barbecues before to turn propane burning ones to natural gas. Is it possible to do the same thing to a fire table?

We have been contemplating renovating our backyard for some time. We hemmed an hawed through the summer with no progress. Now that it is getting cooler I’m really wishing that we had installed the fire pit I really wanted. An easier alternative is to just get a fire table / seating combo, but my husband says it will not give off enough warmth. For reference the one I am looking at says it will give off 55,000 BTU, and I live in So Cal where it will likely be used in high 50’s to mid 60’s weather. Is it worth it to buy a fire table or stick with the patio heaters?

We are going to have a gas line run to our outdoor fire table which will sit on top of concrete that is yet to be poured. Was wondering if there’s a way for to me to put conduit in as the concrete will happen before a plumber is able to actually run the gas line. If so what kind of kind of conduit will work? If not possible, I will just run the line myself at least under the concrete and have the plumber hook it up when he gets time. What kind of line can I run underground and can it be same type of line run in my house or do I need to change the line type once it gets indoors?

I have a small natural gas fire pit on my roof deck. It claims to put out 40,000 BTU, which is the same as many other models that I see. But my experience is that unless you lean over very near it, you don't really feel warm.

Is there anything out there that would recreate the warmth of a wood fire? I'd like to be able to feel warmth coming from the fire if I'm sitting right next to it.

I recently converted my old fire pit from propane to NG. Luckily, I found the orifice that had come with the original fire pit for a NG conversion, so that part was easy. But I was still getting a lot of blue flames coming from the burner. I realized that if I cover the two ventilation holes at the bottom of the burner stem where the orifice shoots the gas, I get the yellow flames I want. Is this dangerous or acceptable? My understanding is that propane gas is heavier than air and requires those ventilation holes, but it may be ok to cover them up when using natural gas to get the yellow flames. Thanks

I am looking at firepit options for when we landscape in the spring but not really sure what I’m looking for; originally I wanted a wood smokeless fire pit but we have a gravel area between the house and the fence (9ft x 10ft) that we’re thinking of using instead. As far as I can tell our 5ft all around clearance should suffice?

I would like something that gives out a good amount of heat so we can actually sit out there on a colder evening somewhat comfortably (our old Walmart fire table was terrible for this) propane is obviously more common/cheaper but I do have the option to run a natural gas line fairly easily so it’s an option.

Help! I’ve purchased a propane patio fire pit, and converted to natural gas. Hooked it straight to the natural gas stub out on my patio (no regulator. the hose the pit came with had a regulator on it, but it was for propane). So I got a longer hose, and it doesn’t have a regulator on it. It works, but the flame is very small. What could it be?

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.

We want to get a propane fire pit table and seeing some great deals on wayfair but to be honest the price's there are making us a bit skeptical. Knowing how they delivered our bed a few years ago we were wondering if anyone has had a good experience in the past with them fire tables. TIA!

Edit: Also if you have any propane fire pit table suggestions, I would be more than happy to hear!

My wife and I are trying to build out our patio in McKinney Texas. We have a preplumbed gas line already built in and had a couple of questions before I buy our fire pit.

1. What kind of pro can help me set this up? Plumber? Electrician?

2. We have a 11x10ft covered patio, could we place a natural gas fireplace there without any issues? It’s about 9-10ft high as well.

3. Is it possible to set it up myself since it’s already pre plumbed? 90% not going to but just wondering if this is something that can be done easily ?

Thanks!

I just installed a natural gas converter for a propane fire pit. While it’s lit I can smell a faint scent of natural gas. That egg smell. I’m assuming it’s some unlit natural gas from the wind blowing. Is this something to be concerned about? I did a wet soapy mix on the connections along the line and it was non existent.

This is it with the propane set-up. Between the silver hose at the top and the burner assembly is a male flare with an oriface.

I have a natural gas line and regulator, would I just attach that to the control valve where the propane in the picture is currently attached, then swap the oriface from a propane one to an NG one?
