Gas vs. Wood-Burning Fire Pits
When planning your fire pit installation, the first decision is whether you want a gas-burning or wood-burning fire pit.
- Gas Fire Pits:
Offer instant flames at the push of a button. Gas fire pits are popular in Omaha due to their convenience, safety, and clean burn. They can be fueled by natural gas or propane and customized with decorative media like lava rock or glass beads. - Wood-Burning Fire Pits:
Perfect for homeowners who love the traditional crackle and aroma of real wood. These fire pits create a rustic atmosphere and provide more heat output than gas options.
