When placing a fire pit in a wooded area, how high must tree limbs be?

Tom Cordell

I've got a wooded backyard with lots of trees that I can limb up, but I need to know how high up I need to remove limbs in order to safely place a fire pit under the trees.

    Good question! The fire pit in this photo, as well as almost all of our fire pit installations, are fueled by natural gas or propane. Very clean, easy on and off, and very warm. The output varies, but run from 250,000 to 500,000 BTUs. The fire pits are adjustable, so you can set the height of the flames and the warmth. Very toasty. Cheers!

      Tom, thanks for the inquiry. If it is a gas fire pit, the manufacturer of the fire ring will specify the minimum distance to combustible material. For a wood burner, your local fire department may be able to provide guidance.

      Thanks! Got a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive propane fire pit?

      Tom, you are welcome. We build all of ours and buy the ring and components from our local contractor wholesale supply house. We are not familiar with available retail lines of distribution. Sorry!

      Thanks for your response. Let me know if you ever decide to market your own.
