Whether you are searching for that centrepiece for your back garden to sit around on long summer nights, or that warmth and light that makes it easier to sit outside with friends even during winter time, a fire pit table is the perfect choice. A fire pit table provides you with a comfortable area in your back garden that elevates it into a luxurious space that is the best place to entertain friends and family or relax with a book and a few drinks on your own. Cook up a storm, turn the music up, and invite your friends round to sit around the fire pit table long into the night. For some people, they might be asking about the difference between a fire pit and a fire pit table. Is there a difference? Let’s take a look.
What is a fire pit?
A fire pit is what most people think of when they picture a campfire in someone’s back garden. It is a metal or stone pit that is either partly buried in the ground or a structure that holds in fire safely. They are versatile and come in many shapes and sizes, making them appealing to all sorts of households, and they can be moved around too, to suit your needs at any given time. Warm up around a fire pit, toast some marshmallows, and replicate the traditional campfire in the comfort of your own back garden.
What is a fire pit table?
A fire pit table is similar to a fire pit apart from the fact it is elevated and built into a central furniture block, where the flames emerge from. Combining a fire pit and outdoor garden furniture, they add a certain level of luxury to your back garden. A comfortable patio table with a fire pit in the centre is certainly a showstopper.
Fire pit tables can be powered through gas or charcoal, but the benefits of gas fire pit tables make them a much more attractive choice for fire pit table owners, for the following reasons:
- Gas powered fire pit tables are easier to clean than charcoal as there is no coal to clean up.
- They are simple to use, taking away the stress and hassle of adding more charcoal or wood with, just sit back and relax, switching off when you want to.
- They are safe to use as you have control over the flame level, and there is protection in-built that helps when using around children.
The best fire pit tables are those that you don’t have to worry about other than just switching on and enjoying the ambience that they create. When looking at the difference between fire pits and fire pit tables, and then choosing between a charcoal and a gas fire pit table, for luxury, comfort, and ease, always go with a gas-powered fire pit table to add a luxurious centre point to your back garden, whether you are entertaining guests or relaxing with the family well into the night.
