Pleasant Hearth fire pits and fire tables

01 Fire Pits

Wood or propane, bowl or table

Our wood-burning pits are steel bowls with a mesh cover against sparks. Langston is a deep round bowl, and Palmetto and Killian add a poker that lifts the spark guard. Hudson is a 34-inch square on adjustable levelers, while Charlotte sets its bowl in a slate top with a lid that turns the pit into a side table. Langston, Palmetto and Hudson come with a cooking grid.

Steel fire rings are for building your own pit. The 28-inch round ring lines a brick surround you lay yourself, and the 36-inch square ring works inside bricks or on its own. On the gas side, the gas fire pit tables (Halifax, Montreal and Lockwood) hide a propane tank behind a hinged door, light with a piezo knob and run at 30,000 to 40,000 BTU.

Wherever the pit goes, NFPA sets it outdoors, at least 10 feet from anything that can burn, on brick, concrete or patio blocks, and away from siding, decks, eaves and low branches. Check local rules and burn permits first, since some towns restrict backyard fires, and keep children and pets at least three feet back. The wood-burning pits and rings sit together for comparison.

Questions

Questions about Pleasant Hearth fire pits and fire tables

How far from your house should a Pleasant Hearth fire pit sit?

NFPA says at least 10 feet from anything that can burn, on a level surface that will not catch fire, and away from siding, decks, eaves and overhanging branches.

Can you put a Pleasant Hearth gas fire pit table on a wooden deck?

NFPA advises keeping fire pits away from decks, so set the table on brick, concrete or patio blocks instead. Check your local fire rules before the first light.

What wood should you burn in a Pleasant Hearth fire pit?

Burn only clean, dry, seasoned hardwood, which EPA puts at about 20 percent moisture on a meter. Never burn green wood, trash, plastic or yard waste, and never start the fire with gasoline.

Do you get a spark screen with your Pleasant Hearth fire pit?

The wood-burning bowls (Langston, Palmetto, Killian, Hudson and Charlotte) come with a mesh cover against escaping sparks. NFPA also asks you to use a screen and to keep children and pets three feet away.

Take your readings tonight, note whether the fireplace is masonry, and open the door size that holds both numbers. The people at Pleasant Hearth size every door the same way, so one set of readings works for all of them.
