The amount of heat given off by fire pit tables can vary widely from fire pit to fire pit. The heat is measured in BTU/hr. The higher the BTU, the larger the flame, and therefore the more heat the fire pit table will generate. The average BTU output ranges from 30.000 to 100.000. To give you an idea, 50.000 is equivalent to the heat of a medium sized campfire.
Whilst fire pit tables can keep you warm, we recommend the use of blankets or additional heating sources, especially during the colder winter months.
Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits can be considered one of the marks of modern society. Mankind's relationship with the primal forces of nature runs deep to the point that we often find ourselves craving the utility and warmth of a fire, despite our access to modern amenities.
We've put together a quick guide to help you make the best possible choice of fireplace or fire pit.
