Outsunny Rattan Gas Fire Pit Table (Dark Grey, 71cm x 71cm)

What size gas bottle does this fire pit table require?

This fire pit is designed to accommodate a 9kg propane gas bottle, which fits within the internal storage compartment. Some users have successfully used 13kg bottles by extending the adjustable feet to create additional clearance. The unit comes with a regulator and hose, so you only need to purchase the gas bottle separately. Standard UK propane bottles from suppliers like Calor Gas work perfectly with this system.

How much heat does the 14.5KW burner actually produce?

The 14.5KW output equals 50,000 BTU, which provides substantial heat for outdoor spaces up to 4-5 metres radius. This powerful burner creates a warm zone perfect for 6-8 people gathered around the table. The smokeless design means all the energy goes into heat production rather than being lost through smoke, making it significantly more efficient than traditional wood-burning fire pits.

Is assembly difficult and what tools are required?

Assembly is straightforward and typically takes 30-45 minutes. The package includes a screwdriver and spare parts, so no additional tools are needed. The instruction manual provides clear step-by-step guidance and most users report the process is simple enough for one person to complete. The main assembly involves attaching the legs, installing the burner system and fitting the rattan panels.

Can this fire pit table be left outside all year round?

Yes, the weather-resistant PE rattan and powder-coated steel frame are designed for permanent outdoor placement. However, using the included rain cover when not in use will significantly extend the lifespan by protecting the burner components and maintaining the appearance. The materials resist UV damage and moisture, but covering during harsh weather conditions is recommended for optimal longevity.

How does the thermocouple safety system work?

The thermocouple is a temperature-sensing device that monitors the pilot flame continuously. If wind extinguishes the flame or gas flow is interrupted, the thermocouple detects the temperature drop within seconds and automatically shuts the gas valve. This prevents dangerous gas accumulation and potential hazards. The system resets automatically when you restart the ignition process.

What maintenance is required for this fire pit table?

Regular maintenance involves cleaning the glass wind guard, checking gas connections for leaks using soapy water and keeping the burner ports clear of debris. The rattan exterior can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Store the gas bottle in a cool, dry place when not in use and inspect the regulator and hose annually for wear. Winter storage of the entire unit is not necessary due to its weather-resistant construction.

How stable is this fire pit on uneven ground?

The adjustable foot pads allow for levelling on uneven surfaces, with each foot capable of height adjustment to compensate for ground variations. The 25kg weight provides excellent stability, whilst the 71cm square base offers a low centre of gravity. The powder-coated steel frame construction ensures the unit remains steady even when the gas bottle is installed and the fire is burning at full output.

What's included in the package besides the main unit?

The complete package includes 3kg of decorative lava rocks, a tempered glass wind guard, spark guard mesh, waterproof rain cover, gas regulator with hose and a comprehensive instruction manual. Spare screws and a screwdriver are also provided. The only additional purchase required is a propane gas bottle, which is not included due to shipping regulations but is readily available from garden centres and gas suppliers.
