Why we love this deal

As much as we love a roaring fire, especially when the weather’s cold, and you’re bundled up in sweatshirts and blankets enjoying the smoky smell of burning wood, it’s not always that easy to get it going. Sometimes you just want to enjoy the cozy experience of being around a toasty campfire with loved ones, without the hard work of prepping, starting, and maintaining it — and that’s where gas fire pits come to answer your prayers. Not only do they make it much faster to get a warm glow going quickly, but they’re generally safer than wood-burning fire, both of which sound like fantastic reasons to add one to your outdoor area. And although you sometimes have to pay the price for the efficiency and power they have, Walmart’s latest sale ensures that you can get one for a great discount right now.

Why do shoppers love it?

For one thing, gas fire pits eliminate a lot of the work that comes with building, lighting, and maintaining a fire, as well as adds an additional safety element. Gas fire pits are easier to control, emit fewer sparks and embers, and burn cleaner compared to their wood counterparts. This model, made of sturdy alloy steel, iron, and lava stone, can deliver a 50,000 British Thermal Unit (BTU) heat output, ensuring that you stay nice and toasty when you’re surrounding or standing near this pit. For reference, that amount of heat can warm between 675 square feet to 700 square feet of the surrounding area, meaning people looking to get warm don’t have to stand too close or right on top of it to actually feel its power. It’s the perfect source of heat for chilly mornings, cool evenings, and even frosty winter nights, as long as you have your layers on to deal with frigid temperatures. It ensures that no matter the season, you can enjoy a booming, big fire.

Although some set up is required, assembly is quick and easy, as is getting the fire powered up. Once a propane tank is connected to the pit, simply turn the simple knob for the smokeless flame to start up. The gas fire pit is more compact that other models on the market, measuring 32 inches long, 32 inches wide, and 25 inches high, but with a weight of 65.9 pounds, it’s not super easy to move it around, so place it wisely in a spot away from flammable items in a safe area. And when you aren’t using the fire pit, this 2-in-1 table can be transformed into an outdoor dining, coffee, or bar table by covering it with the included lid. Even when it is in use, there’s a large enough table area, running the entire way around the fire pit, as well as two drink holders, that’s perfect for holding beverages, snacks, and other small items so you don’t have to constantly be running in and out of the house to get things.

Even better? The sleek, black design keeps it from standing out on your back deck, patio, or porch in an unsightly way. Its simplicity allows it to blend and pair well with existing furniture, making it an easy addition to any outdoor area.
