Concrete Fire Pit Table Cooking Set - Rectangular

The Owner's Insights on the Concrete Fire Pit Table

This is the configuration I recommend most often. You get the full rectangular table and the entire cooking kit, and you skip the propane tank cover, which is the right call if you are on natural gas or if your tank already lives out of sight behind a planter.

The two cast iron griddles are the reason to take the cooking set over the plain table. They sit on stands above the burner, and because they are reversible you get a flat side for eggs or smash burgers and a ridged side for anything you want char lines on. The splatter guard is the unglamorous hero: it keeps grease off 51.7 inches of concrete.

Honest note on fit: at 165 lbs this needs two people and a clear path. Measure your gate before you order.

What Customers Say About the Concrete Fire Pit Table

Owners of Outer's concrete fire pit range return to the same two strengths: usable heat almost immediately, and an ignition that is genuinely easy to operate. One owner describes it as part of a daily morning ritual on the back patio.

Quality and after-sales support come up repeatedly too, including one owner who had a cover issue resolved quickly. In its hands-on review, Men's Journal singled out the splatter guards for saving a full cleanup, and the gradual ignition for avoiding sudden bursts of flame.

The most common request is an all-weather cover, which is sold separately.

Why You Should Consider an Outer Fire Pit Table

Outer designs furniture to be left outdoors permanently, and sells direct, so the person answering your question knows the product rather than reading a script. The fire pit carries a 3 year limited warranty. On something you will keep on a patio for a decade, that warranty and that access to real product specialists are most of what de-risks the spend.

Cooking on your rectangular fire pit table

Here is the scenario this was built for. You are hosting, the food needs to go on, and the usual outcome is that you spend the next 40 minutes at a grill in the corner while the conversation happens without you. With the griddles fitted, you cook in the middle of the table. Guests flip their own food and pour their own drinks. Two independent plates means someone can do halloumi and peppers while you do the burgers, and the griddles push heat outward while they work, so the people who are not cooking end up warmer, not colder. One thing worth saying plainly: Outer only approves this table for cooking with its own griddle and stand accessories, and those are exactly what this set includes.

Propane or natural gas, which should you order?

Choose propane if there is no gas line to your patio, or if you might reposition the table later. It runs on a standard 20 lb LPG cylinder, available from any hardware store, though the tank is not included and will sit visible unless you buy the tank cover separately. Choose natural gas if your outdoor space already has a connection and you want a table you never refuel. The two are built as separate configurations and are not interchangeable, so a natural gas table cannot be run on propane and vice versa. If you are not certain what your patio supports, ask before ordering rather than after.

Do you need the propane tank cover?

Not necessarily, and we would rather you skipped it than bought it by default. If you are ordering natural gas, it serves no purpose at all. If you are on propane and the cylinder can tuck behind a planter, a wall, or the sofa, this set is the sensible buy. The cover earns its place when the tank would otherwise sit in open view in the middle of a patio, or when you actively want an extra side table for drinks. It is available as part of the Cooking Set + Propane Tank Cover configuration if you decide you want it.

Where can you put a propane fire pit table?

Outdoors only, on a flat, stable surface, installed by a qualified service professional. Keep at least 4 feet from any building structure, plants, or combustible material, and leave 6 feet of clear air above with no overhang or branches. Concrete or slate is ideal, a wooden deck is acceptable, dirt and grass are not. The unit draws air through vents along its bottom edge, so leave the sides clear. Check your local fire code and HOA rules before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Wet the dirty section of concrete with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, let it sit briefly, then wipe clean. Soot on the ceramic spheres is a normal by-product of burning propane and brushes, vacuums, or rinses off. Cool the cast iron griddles completely, wash them in warm soapy water, dry them straight away rather than leaving them to drip, and wipe a thin film of cooking oil over the surface to protect the seasoning. The splatter guard can go in the dishwasher.
