FAQs: Outdoor Fire Pits for Summer 

Are gas fire pits better than wood-burning ones? 

Gas fire pits are cleaner, more convenient, and require less maintenance than wood-burning options. While wood fire pits offer a rustic charm and crackling ambiance, gas options give you instant flame with no smoke, ash, or cleanup. For frequent use and easy entertaining, gas is the top choice. 

Can I use a fire pit on a deck or patio? 

Yes — with the right precautions. Many of AquaBlu’s fire pits are designed with safety features that make them suitable for decks and patios. Always place your fire pit on a fire-resistant surface and keep clearance from structures, railings, and furniture. 

How do I choose the right fire pit size for my space? 

It depends on your entertaining style and space size. Small patios may benefit from a compact fire bowl, while larger spaces can handle a statement piece like the Unity Round 60”. Consider how many people you typically host and whether you want a central table-style or accent piece. 

Do fire pits increase home value? 

Yes! According to a National Association of Realtors report, outdoor fire features can yield a return of up to 78% on investment. Beyond monetary value, they boost curb appeal and lifestyle benefits, making your property more attractive to buyers and guests alike.
