There’s a reason fire pit tables, or simply fire tables, have become so popular. People love them because they’re beautiful pieces of furniture that also radiate pleasant heat from their inviting flames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many are lined with lava rock or fire glass that add even more beauty and glow to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fire tables are used to cook, toast marshmallows, have conversations over, and in many ways you’d use a regular table. They’re great for keeping hot drinks at the perfect temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the biggest reason people choose fire tables is because they keep us warm at a superior level without the hassle of maintaining a wood fire or an ashy, sooty pit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All fire pit tables will radiate some form of heat. The amount of heat varies depending on what type of table you buy. The hottest fire tables are massive, permanent, and made of high-quality materials like reinforced concrete and granite. Most home options give off plenty of heat for cold nights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fire pit tables do indeed give off heat. As they have fire, the output of the fire dictates how much heat they give off. Another factor to consider is how high they are from where you are sitting. They will only heat above the fire, so keep that in mind when choosing out a fire pit table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, a fire pit table will reach temperatures of about 800 degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The output of heat that radiates from a fire is measured in BTUs, or British thermal units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To put it simply, each BTU is the level of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fire pit tables put out anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 BTUs, with an average range between 50,000 and 70,000 BTUs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People who prefer fire tables on the lower end of this scale do so because it costs less to run and it doesn’t overwhelm its surroundings with strong heat. These tend to be portable and small, like an end table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, people who prefer higher BPU fire pit tables love them because they keep everyone around them very warm. This means you and your family can use your patio or yard much longer into the cold season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a small patio that’s 550 square feet or less, choose a lower heat fire table that’s 50,000 BTUs or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That level of BTU will radiate heat 8-10 feet around it. It’s the standard level for fire tables and fits well on average-sized decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more luxury and heat radius, choose a large, high heat fire table that is 80,000 BTUs and higher. This will cover a huge radius around it, starting at 1,200 square feet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDo Fire Pit Tables Give off Heat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
