Gas Fire Pits
Gas Fire Pit FAQ
What is a lava rock fire pit and why does it matter?
A lava rock fire pit uses real lava rocks placed over a gas burner, which heat up and hold warmth while disguising the burner mechanism underneath. It gives a more realistic fire appearance than an exposed burner alone, and the rocks help radiate heat more evenly across the fire pit.
Is a corten steel fire pit better than stainless steel?
Neither is "better" — they suit different things. Corten steel develops a rust-like patina that protects the metal underneath, needs no maintenance, and gets more character over time. Stainless steel keeps a cleaner, more polished look but shows fingerprints and water marks more easily. Choose corten for a rustic, low-maintenance look; choose stainless steel for a sleeker, more contemporary one.
What's the difference between the Vulcan and Helios fire pit tables?
The Vulcan is a rectangle design, while the Helios is square — both use the same lava rock burner and are available in either corten steel or stainless steel. The choice mostly comes down to which shape suits your outdoor space and table arrangement better.
Is a gas fire pit table safe to use as actual outdoor furniture?
Yes — these are built specifically to double as outdoor furniture, with a stable, flat surface designed to take the weight of drinks, plates, or anything else you'd put on a normal outdoor table, in addition to housing the fire pit itself.
