Using your 37-inch propane fire pit table is easy. First, place a 20 lb. liquid propane tank (sold separately) in the designated area. Then, use the push - button ignition to start the flames. Enjoy the warm 40,000 BTUs of heat on cool evenings. When you're done using it, simply turn off the ignition. For safety, always keep the fire pit at least 8 feet away from any structures. This ensures proper ventilation and reduces the risk of fire. To maintain your fire pit, use the included polyester cover to protect it from rain, snow, and sun. If you want to convert it to natural gas, hire a certified gas technician. Remember, the natural gas conversion kit is not included due to regulations. With proper use and care, your fire pit will provide you with many seasons of outdoor enjoyment.
