BALI OUTDOORS Fire Pit Table Propane Gas Firepit Rectangular Fire Table 42In 60,000 BTU for Outside Patio Backyard Deck Balcony

Overall, I like my Bali Outdoor Fire Pit (rectangle, 42 x 24 x 24 inches, 60,000 BTUs). The flame looks great; it has height and length (thanks to rectangular shape of the fire ring) and can be dialed up or down. I didn’t have an issue with the ignitor – everything worked on the first try. No issues with connecting the propane tank. If you have a propane grill, it’s the same set-up. The fire pit serves my purposes: smallish, relatively inexpensive, decent flame height, stable, solid top to hold a cup of tea, and the height of the fire pit matches the height of my current deck chairs and bench. And, because I’m a square-ish guy, I wanted a rectangle fire ring as opposed to a circular fire ring.I’m not a DIY type so I wasn’t looking forward to assembling the fire pit. The box was heavy and likely due to the ceramic tiles and the blue fire rocks. The fit pit, itself, is very light – think sturdy alloy steel, but definitely not heavy. For lack of a better description, think of it as a sturdy tin rectangular box. For the price, though, it was fine. I didn’t have need for a fire pit worth thousands of dollars for the deck.I assembled the fire pit by myself and it took about 1.5 hrs. The instructions were straight-forward. All the nuts and bolts were shrink-wrapped (you’ll need a Phillips screwdriver) so there were no loose screws floating around in the box. None of the ceramic tiles were broken, cracked, or chipped. There was an imperfection on the top near a corner; looked like a smudge/flaw inherent in the metal that should have been caught by quality assurance after it was manufactured. Not a deal-breaker, but when you buy these types of things online, you get what you pay for, and you have to cross your fingers. I usually expect something to be wrong. Sad, but that’s the state of e-commerce. On the backend is shipping: with heavy boxes, you hope for the best. I watched the delivery guy haul the fire pit box out of his truck without much care with regard to handling. I’m surprised there wasn’t severe damage, especially to the ceramic tiles. But the manufacturer does get credit: it was very well packed. (Just to be safe, I took photos of the shipping box, which had some exterior damage, and other photos, as I opened the box and surveyed the contents. All this in case I had to send it back.)I also ordered the Bali Outdoor Fire Pit Cover, khaki (42.2 L x 24.2 W x 22.8 H inch) – fits perfectly. And I ordered the GASPRO Fire Pit Wind Guard (Series 401/403 Fire Table, 29 x 13 Inch rectangular). The wind guard fits fine. It’s heavy, which is a good thing, and assembly did take some effort. I live where it’s windy so I’m not sure if the wind guard is all that successful. I like the heat from a fire pit and I don’t yet know if the wind guard is blocking the heat. [When there is no wind, the flame looks great.] Lastly, I also purchased some white fire rocks to mix with the blue fire rocks that came with the fire pit.FYI: Once you unpack the fire pit, you will have LOTS of Styrofoam and recyclable cardboard. My floor was a mess, and you really should find a large area to assemble the fire pit. Makes the process go a lot faster.
