Outdoor Propane Gas Fireplaces & Fire Columns

Yes — all models use standard 20 lb liquid propane (LP) tanks, which fit inside the hidden lower compartment. No natural gas line or permanent installation is required. A single tank provides up to 55 hours of burn time depending on your flame setting.

These units output between 27,300 and 34,100 BTU/h with an adjustable flame — they provide real warmth and are excellent for extending outdoor evenings into fall and spring across the Northeast. Their primary value is as a decorative outdoor gas fireplace and ambient centerpiece. For heating a large open area primarily, a dedicated high-BTU heater would be more efficient.

These units require outdoor ventilation and are not designed for fully enclosed spaces. If you plan to use one under a covered structure, ensure adequate airflow on all sides.

No professional installation or gas line is needed. Simply attach the included propane regulator, connect a standard 20 lb propane tank, and ignite with the push-button electronic ignition. Most customers complete setup in under 15 minutes. Each unit includes integrated wheels for easy repositioning across your patio or terrace.
