Teamson Home Outdoor Garden Fire Pit Table (Light Grey, 88cm x 88cm)

What type of gas bottle do I need and where does it go?

This fire pit requires propane gas only and uses a clip-on or push-type gas bottle connection. The gas bottle cannot fit underneath the unit due to the low 29cm height, so it must be positioned nearby. You'll need a standard UK propane bottle, though some customers have reported compatibility issues with the included regulator and UK gas bottles, so check with your gas supplier before purchasing.

How long will a gas bottle last with this fire pit?

A 9kg propane tank provides approximately 11.5 hours of continuous burning at maximum 50,000 BTU output. On lower settings, you'll get significantly more runtime. The adjustable flame control allows you to reduce gas consumption whilst still maintaining comfortable heat levels for your outdoor space.

Is the fire pit suitable for year-round outdoor use?

The lightweight concrete construction can withstand normal weather conditions, but the included PVC cover only protects against light showers. For winter storage or extreme weather, you'll need a heavy-duty outdoor cover (sold separately). The concrete material may be susceptible to freeze-thaw damage if water penetrates, so proper winter protection is essential.

How much assembly is required and what tools do I need?

Assembly takes approximately 5 minutes and requires minimal tools. The main components come pre-assembled and you simply need to connect the gas hose, position the lava rocks and install the glass wind screen. The electronic ignition battery is included and pre-installed, so you can start using it immediately after setup.

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

Yes, but you must use appropriate heat protection underneath. The 30kg weight distributes evenly, but the base can reach high temperatures during operation. Place heat-resistant pads or a fire-safe mat underneath to protect wooden surfaces. Ensure adequate clearance from overhead structures and combustible materials as specified in the safety instructions.

What's included with the glass wind screen and how effective is it?

The toughened glass wind screen comes included and provides excellent wind protection for the flames. It's heat-resistant and designed to withstand the 50,000 BTU output. The screen helps maintain consistent flames in breezy conditions and acts as a safety barrier. However, some customers report it doesn't recess perfectly into the fire pit, so positioning may require adjustment.

How do the lava rocks work and do I need to replace them?

The included 5kg of lava rocks distribute heat evenly and create an attractive flame display. They're positioned over the burner to radiate heat and provide visual appeal. Lava rocks are permanent and don't need replacement under normal use. They help protect the burner from direct exposure and improve heat distribution across the fire pit surface.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit my outdoor space?

The fire pit measures 88cm x 88cm x 29cm overall, with a burning area of 53cm x 53cm x 9cm deep. The low profile makes it suitable for use with standard outdoor furniture heights. You'll need additional space around the perimeter for safety clearances and gas bottle placement, so plan for at least a 2-metre square area for safe operation.
