Before beginning the Fire Pit Installation, it is important to understand the components of the fire pit. In the following sections, we will look at each of the components in more detail:
The base - The base of the fire pit is made of concrete and should be put in the ground level to minimize accidents that can occur when the heat of the fire gets up to the ground level. This area is the only part of the fire pit that the debris can accumulate as a result of the hot coals. In addition, this part will be the first thing that a passerby will see if they are on the ground level and find themselves unable to move because of the smoke from the fire. It is also important that the base of the fire pit is installed in an area where you will not cause an obstruction to access, such as a staircase or a walkway.
Fuel Source - Fire pits are not technically fueled by fuel, however, when making the decision on which fuel source to use, the key component to consider is the fuel source. Remember that your fuel source can be both gas or charcoal. When choosing which type of fuel source to use, you will need to consider the surrounding area and potential effects from flammable gases and chemicals.
Wood - Wood is a popular choice because of its strength and durability. However, wood also has its limitations when it comes to handling and storage. You will need to be sure that you have adequate space to store your wood and have enough room to work on your wood.
Chimney - The fire pit is more than just a place to put out a fire. A chimney will make sure that the fire is oxygenated and to keep the air clean. When choosing a chimney, you should take into consideration where the fire pit will be located, how much ventilation you will need, how much you can afford to spend and how well it will function in the winter season. Cinch Valve - The cinch valve is a component that separates the fuel line from the oxygenation line. It will ensure that the fuel source is heated and that there is no damage to the fuel source if there is an accident or power failure.
Latch - There are two types of latching mechanisms that you can choose for your fire pit. The most common type is a quick release latch which will latch onto the wall and swing away from the fire pit. Another type is a weight attached to the fire pit.
Base - This is the most obvious component in any fire pit. However, it is important to remember that the base should be free of debris before you begin the installation process.
Logs - You will need to decide which type of logs you want to use. All logs should be sized according to the size of the fire pit. Look at the overall size of the fire pit and determine how many logs will fit in the fire pit.
Fire Grill - There are two types of fire grills that you can use with your fire pit. If you are looking for a grill that does not require maintenance and will last for years, you will want to use the gas grill.
Safety Glasses - Safety glasses will prevent burns from touching the flames of the fire. Look for quality glasses that have safety ratings and certifications.
The components mentioned above are the parts that are necessary for your fire pit installation. It is also important to note that the fuel source, cinch valve and log is part of your installation. However, this is just a basic overview of the different components of the installation.
