At 165 pounds it sits exactly where you put it. The glass fiber reinforced concrete has a cool, matte finish that reads as stone rather than a molded lookalike, and it takes two people to carry, so pick your spot carefully the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it earns its money is an October evening when you want to eat outside, but nobody wants to be the one standing across the patio at the grill, hearing the good part of the story secondhand. The cast iron griddles drop straight over the flame. Dinner happens at the table everyone is already sitting around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest note. If you want the propane tank tucked away inside the base, this is not that table. The tank sits outside under a matching concrete cover. It looks good, but it is a second object on your patio, and you should know that before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love the Outer Fire Pit Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree pieces of furniture in one.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fire pit, cooktop and coffee table share a single footprint, so your patio does not get crowded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e55,000 BTUs.\u003c\/strong\u003e Enough heat to keep a full circle of guests comfortable once the sun drops and the evening turns cold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReversible cast iron griddles.\u003c\/strong\u003e You cook at the table instead of at a grill, so the host stays in the conversation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeramic stone spheres.\u003c\/strong\u003e They hold the flame steady in a breeze and push warmth outward, toward people rather than straight up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronic ignition.\u003c\/strong\u003e A gentle, predictable start every time, with none of the sudden whoosh you get lighting a burner by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass fiber reinforced concrete.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone looks without the poured slab, and it takes less energy to produce than standard concrete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You Should Consider an Outer Fire Pit Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOuter designs for outdoors and nothing else, and the details hold up. The burner is CSA approved for safe fuel burning, the body is glass fiber reinforced concrete rather than poured concrete, and a 3-year limited warranty covers both the table and the tank cover. Outer sells direct, so the people answering your questions are the people who built it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you cook on this propane fire pit table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, and this is the version of the set built for exactly that. Picture the usual cookout. Everyone is seated with a drink, and you are off at the grill on your own, flipping things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere you set the two reversible cast iron griddles on their stands over the burner, clip on the splatter guard to keep the concrete clean, and cook where everyone already is. The griddles pull double duty as a heat shield, redirecting warmth outward so nobody has to lean into the fire to get warm. Pour a drink and stay in the conversation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne limit worth respecting. Outer states the table should only be used for cooking with its own griddles and stands, so this is not a surface for a random grill grate or a skewer of marshmallows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the propane tank hide inside the table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is worth being straight about that, because several fire tables in this price range do conceal the tank in the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Outer table runs a 10 foot hose out to a 20 pound tank that sits alongside it. This set includes the matching concrete tank cover, 17.7 inches across and 22 inches tall, which hides the cylinder and doubles as a side table. The upside is that swapping an empty tank takes seconds instead of crouching inside a cabinet. The downside is a second piece you need to find room for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLiquid propane or natural gas: which should you choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the one choice you cannot change later, so give it a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose liquid propane if you want to place the table anywhere in the yard and are happy refilling a 20 pound cylinder from the hardware store. Choose natural gas if you already have a line running out back and would rather never think about fuel again. The natural gas configuration connects to a direct line and ships with its own 10 foot hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two are not interchangeable. A natural gas table will not run on propane, so pick the option that matches what is actually at your house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can you put your fire pit table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutdoors, on something flat and solid. Outer asks for at least 4 feet of clearance from any building or plants, and 6 feet of open air above the unit with no overhang or tree branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcrete or slate is ideal, a wooden deck is fine, and dirt or grass is not, because the table draws air through vents along its bottom edge and needs to breathe. Keep those vents clear and do not push the sides against a wall. Outer also asks that a qualified service professional handle the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRectangular or round?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth put out the same 55,000 BTUs, so this comes down to how your seating is arranged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rectangular table is 51.7 inches long and 33.7 inches wide, which suits a sectional or two sofas facing each other. The round one is 40.2 inches across and works better for chairs in a circle. The rectangular version is also the heavier of the two, 165 pounds against 126, so it is the steadier once placed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOuter Fire Pit Table Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRectangular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFuel type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiquid propane (20 lb cylinder) or natural gas, selected at purchase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55,000 BTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51.7 in L x 33.7 in W x 14 in H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurner pan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel, 28.6 in L x 13.9 in W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectronic ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable top material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable base material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) with metal frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFire media\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCeramic stone spheres, 3 in diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGriddle plates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReversible cast iron, 16.3 in L x 14.3 in W, two included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGas hose length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 ft (propane and natural gas)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropane tank cover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.7 in diameter x 22 in H, 35 lbs, fits 20 lb LPG tanks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTank storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal, concealed by included tank cover.
