Propane Fire Pit

Ok I wanted to put out a few more tips regarding safety and your new fire pit. Pretty much all fire pits. Let's have but let's be safe as well.

1.  Always be sure to get rid of any debris that is sitting in your fire pit before you light it. Sometimes leaves or other junk can accumulate in your fire pit. Be sure to keep the immediate are clear of dry grass. No low hanging branches either. If it has a possibility of catching on fire get it away. I don't want to make you paranoid but I do want to keep you and your family safe.

2.  Never ever leave a fire pit unattended, especially if you have young children or pets around. This is always a must.

3. If you are running a natural gas/propane fire pit DO NOT burn ANY kind of real woods in them. This also applies to electric fire pits. They are designed for that and you will be asking major trouble by doing that.

4. Always make sure to keep the area clear of all combustible material. I can not stress this enough. Safety first. Please.

5. Always keep your fire pit on an even or flat surface. With today's gardens people get very creative with the space they have...but it really needs to be a flat surface to avoid tipping over or things sliding out.

6. While your fire pit is in use NEVER EVER disconnect the propane hose. Bad idea. VERY bad idea!

While having a fire pit is really cool and loads of fun on a cool evening we always want to keep it safe. And we want to keep our family and friends safe as well. Don't ever be that person who looks backs and wishes they had taken precaution. By following these and my other tips you should have no trouble avoiding an accident.

Fire always has the potential of danger. Propane fire pits are much safer, but only if used responsibly. They do make a special pad that you can put under your fire pit if it is going to be used on your wood decking. This might be a little much, but hey I at least need to tell you about it. Especially if you are using a regular fire pit. If you do use it make sure it extends out a few feet all around you fire pit.

Remember too, unless you have your fire pit built for your chimney, you don't want to use your fire pit indoors. They are designed for outdoors and in well ventilated areas....which is generally..the outdoors, lol.

Have fun and be safe....
