What material is right for you?

  • Our Standard Material
  • Powder coated and primed inside and out
  • More affordable than aluminum
  • Heavier than aluminum but with greater impact/dent resistance
  • Substantial scratches will rust in coastal climates
  • Recommended for coastal climates
  • Will not rust
  • Substantially lighter than steel
  • Extremely easy to move; great for rooftops
  • Powder coated and primed inside and out
  • Appearance is the same as powder coated steel
  • Zero-maintenance
  • Protective patina develops over time
  • Great design choice for both rustic and modern spaces
  • Steel is raw but pre-weathered by MFP
  • Patina will run off onto your patio or deck during rain. After a year or so, runoff will decrease or stop altogether. To avoid runoff, spray the product with a hose (without fire burning), and wipe down with a rag and WD-40. This method does darken the appearance, but helps reduce runoff. WD-40 is flammable; allow fire pit to dry for 2 hours. Alternatively, you may decide to clear-coat your Corten product.
  • Our concrete is dyed through and through, not painted like with inferior products.
  • Heavier than aluminum and steel.
  • Material stays approximately 20 degrees cooler than steel.
  • Can be refinished by homeowner with our refinishing kit.
  • All concrete is subject to hairline cracks, charring, and chipping. Reduce issues by keeping the fire at a lower heat setting, especially during windy conditions. These characteristics do not affect functionality and are not covered by warranty.

Before you Buy

*IMPORTANT*

Concrete/GFRC fire features WILL develop charring and non-structural cracking, aka hairline cracks. This is the nature of concrete and thus, not covered by warranty.

For the ultimate durability, consider a steel, aluminum, or ready to finish fire pit. 

Toba charring

Hairline Cracks & Charring Will Occur...

Nearly ALL concrete fire pits, whether sold by Montana Fire Pits or others, will eventually develop the same characteristics of browning/charring AND hairline cracks. The cracks can appear anywhere on the concrete shell, but are most prominent on the inside ledges nearest the fire. Visibility of the hairline cracks has been known to diminish when the unit is dry. The cracks will re-appear when any moisture is present. These characteristics can develop as soon as 20 minutes after lighting the fire. 

canyon charring

Montana Fire Pits does not provide warranty coverage for cracking, charring/browning, or chipping of a concrete vessel.

Exceptions:

Shipping damage that has been properly photographed and documented by the receiver, as well as submitted to Montana Fire Pits within 3 days of delivery, OR ideally the shipment is refused, will be considered for a freight claim based on evidence provided by you, the customer or receiver.

Considerations: Ways to Minimize Cracking and Charring

  • Do not use the fire in windy conditions. Windy conditions cause the flame to lay over and come in contact with the concrete.
  • Do not burn on high for more than 15 minutes, especially in windy conditions. 
  • Consider glass flame guards. The guards may help reduce the risk of the fire charring the inside edge of the burn area. There is no guarantee this will remedy the cracking and charring.  
  • Consider an alternative material for the fire vessel. We recommend steel or aluminum for the most durability. These materials are unaffected by the fire. You can burn on high for long periods of time without charring the metal. Soot may build up, but it wipes off with mild soap and a soft cloth. 

If you wish to proceed with a concrete fire system, we’ll send you a document to sign which is your acknowledgement that the warranty does not cover cracking, charring, or chipping. 

Which Cover is Right for You?

Steel

  • For larger applications, the cover is built in two pieces for ease of handling
  • Lowest cost option when purchased with a steel fire system
  • Sits flush within the burn area for a perfect fit
  • Uniform color match
  • Powder coated for durability and longevity
  • Disadvantage: it’s heavy, can be mildly difficult to place on the fire system

Aluminum

  • Lighter than steel

Our hardwood covers turn your fire system into a beautiful, functional table.

Durability

  • Designed to last 30+ years outside in the elements.
  • Lumber is thermally modified to ensure longevity.
  • Let it weather into a beautiful gray tone, or easily re-apply protective oil at anytime to enjoy the dark, rich colors.

  • If you choose to cover your fire pit with a soft cover—such as cloth, nylon, vinyl, or any non-breathable material—your warranty is voided for any damage caused as a result. These materials can trap moisture and lead to deterioration of the finish, corrosion, or failure of ignition components. Damage caused by improper cover use is not covered under warranty. installed and your fire media is chosen.
  • To protect your fire table and maintain warranty coverage, all burners and electronic components should be covered when not in use. Warranty coverage will be void if these components are left uncovered
Arbor Wood Fire Pit Covers

Covering the Burn Area

  • Best practice is to cover at least the burn area when not in use
  • This keeps water and debris out of the components
  • If you consistently cover your Crossfire burner, you enjoy the peace of mind of a lifetime warranty

Covering Edge to Edge

  • Covering the entire top of the fire system is a great design option
  • Creates a very uniform appearance
  • Especially fitting for when your top ledge is 5″ or narrower
  • Optional: make the dimensions 2″ larger than the fire pit for a different look

Adding Sidewalls: the Raised Cover

  • Available with our hand-built Arbor Wood Covers
  • When you want fire media that mounds up, such as cannonballs or logs, a cover with sidewalls might be for you
  • Determine how high your fire media might be
  • In rectangle fire systems, fire media tends to mound up a little less, and so we recommend 5″ sidewalls 
  • For round fire systems which tend to have higher fire media, we recommend 8″ – 10″ sidewalls 

Soft Cover

  • If you choose to cover your fire pit with a soft cover—such as cloth, nylon, vinyl, or any non-breathable material—your warranty is voided for any damage caused as a result. These materials can trap moisture and lead to deterioration of the finish, corrosion, or failure of ignition components. Damage caused by improper cover use is not covered under warranty.

Fuel Requirements

Your local gas professional (plumber, HVAC, propane supplier, etc…) needs to know these requirements

  1. BTU rating of the burner (read more under “Gas Line Sizing”)
  2. Fuel Pressure recommended at the Burner
    • Natural Gas: 7″ Water Column
    • Propane: 11″ Water Column

There are various pros/cons of Liquid Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG). The difference between LP and NG Warming Trends burners are the “jets”. If, down the road, you need to convert from LP to NG or vice-versa, you can do so by purchasing replacement jets from us at $25 each. 

Propane – pros

    • Flexibility/portability
    • Opens up new location possibilities
    • Sometimes NG is not available

Propane – cons

    • More expensive to burn than NG
    • Heavier than air, so it sinks down. This makes ventilation more important.
    • Requires refilling the tank
    • Hiding the propane tank can present new aesthetic challenges
    • Black soot tends to build up faster on fire media such as ceramic logs and cannonballs (it can be cleaned off)

Natural Gas – Pros

    • Cheaper to burn; you probably won’t even notice an increase in your gas bill. Clients of ours have reported $0.25 – $0.75 per hour
    • You won’t run out, so burn to your heart’s content without the dreaded “we’re out of gas”
    • Since it’s lighter than air and rises, there’s less likelihood of unwanted fuel accumulation in the vessel
    • Slightly cleaner burning; less soot build up

Natural Gas – Cons

    • Limited to what’s available in your area
    • May require upgraded meter or larger diameter fuel lines to provide adequate BTUs
    • The volume and pressure can be affected by other appliances
    • Might require a longer gas line, depending on where your fire feature will live  
    • Would be difficult to change the fire feature’s location after installation
    • Check the side of your gas meter for a BTU rating. Most commonly they are rated at 250K BTUs

Even though the standard key valve inlet is 3/4″, you may need a larger gas line to span long distances.

In order to get the proper volume and pressure of fuel, you need a gas line that is large enough in diameter to carry it sufficiently. For the most accurate assessment, consult a fuel professional. For a rough estimate, utilize our gas line sizing charts below. 

*Make sure the BTUs from your line can supply at least 60-70% of what the burner is rated at. (At 60% capacity, your flame height may be more like 18″ high vs. 24″+ at full capacity.)

Propane Gas Line Sizing Chart

Natural Gas Line Sizing Chart

Gas line sizing variables

    • Using angled couplings can reduce the volume/flow of fuel
    • Adding a 90 degree angle in your line adds the equivalent of 5 feet of distance
    • Running different sized lines over various distances is acceptable, but for maximum fuel volume, run larger lines over long distances
    • Number of appliances, whether it’s a dedicated line or not; all these factors play a role in volume and pressure
    • Pro Tip: if you haven’t installed your gas line yet, consider running it in conduit so that if you ever need to repair or change it, you won’t have to dig it up

You can have great gas pressure, but if your line is too small, you may not get the desired flame. Think about it like filling up a swimming pool. If you reduce the nozzle size significantly, you may have a ton of pressure, but it’s going to take longer to fill up the pool. You need both pressure and volume to get a great flame. This is why the size of the gas line is so important. 

Now that you understand the importance of volume (BTUs), let’s talk pressure. 

Optimal Pressure for Crossfire burners:

  • LP: 11″ water column (w.c.)
  • NG: 7″ water column (w.c.)

Water Column is the term used to measure pressure. There are 27.7 inches of water column pressure in 1 PSI of pressure. So 7″wc is about 1/4 PSI. This is the normal pressure that household natural gas is delivered.

The device used to measure pressure of this type is called a Manometer

Pressure too High? You may experience unwanted noise, usually a hissing sound. You might also find it difficult to dial in the desired flame height using the key valve.

Pressure too Low? The flame will not be as tall and hot

Location of Gas Stub

  • Most commonly the gas stub is positioned underneath the fire feature so that you don’t see it
  • It can be off-center or on-center, depending on the size of your fire feature
  • You may want to go off-center if you’re using electronic ignition
  • The key valve is generally located on the side of the fire pit, so if it makes sense for your build, place the gas stub off-center to reduce the distance of gas stub to key valve
  • Most often, the plumber will use hard pipe to connect from the gas stub to the key valve. However, if they decide to use a flexible line, most lines are 36″ long, so it makes sense to try and keep the gas stub within 36″ from the key valve location
  • Instruct the contractor to keep the gas stub as low as possible to make room for electronic ignition, or in the case that the plate sets fairly low
  • On some builds, the plate sits only 8″ off the ground

You DO NOT need an air mixer with any of our burners. Air is mixed at each jet. 

LP Regulators

    • For optimal regulation for burners over 250K BTUs, contact a local propane supplier
    • For regulators 250K BTUs or lower, purchase our REGULATOR KIT
    • From the tank, propane is HIGH PRESSURE, so it must be regulated down, because the burners are low pressure
    • For longer gas lines, we often use a high pressure (10psi) regulator at the tank end, and a “2nd stage” regulator on the other end of the line to bring the pressure to 11-13″wc

NG Regulators

    • Consult a professional (plumber/HVAC)

Standard 20lb Tank

  • A standard 20lb/5 gallon BBQ propane tank can be used for burner systems 180K BTUs and under
  • The Canyonlands Fire Table is a complete unit that can have a self-contained propane tank
  • Burn time varies from 6-12 hours, depending on how hot you run it
  • Results may vary, and it is common for the fuel to “freeze up” with burners 180K BTUs and up. What that means is that after 45 minutes or so, the flame only goes to about half. Remedy this by using two tanks connected together

40lb Tank

  • This is a better option for most of our burners from 100K to 200k BTUs
  • It will give you longer burn times
  • Still relatively small and easy to move

High Volume Tanks

  • Contact your local propane supplier

Hiding the Tank

  • You can always run a larger diameter line and hide the tank in an inconspicuous location
  • You can purchase 20lb propane tank covers that make hiding the tank a cinch

Gas Consumption

  • All of our burners burn with incredible efficiency due to the engineered jets. They mix fuel and oxygen at the flame which makes it taller, brighter, and hotter using less fuel
  • Read all about how much fuel you might be burning at full capacity – Learn More

Compliance with the following standards:

  • ANSI Z21.97/CSA 2.41 Outdoor Decorative Gas Appliances
  • The burner system is certified nationally, however, it is up to the customer or contractor to verify local requirements

Burner/Ignition Manual

Plates and Pans

*A burner plate or pan is required for use of any ignition system other than match lit.

The main purpose of the plate or pan is to hold in the media (lava rock, glass, etc). It also acts like the hood of a car, in that it can be lifted up and out in order to access the gas line or key valve underneath. The plate/pan makes installation easier as well.

What’s it made of?

  • Aluminum
  • Aluminum does not rust

Is a plate/pan ALWAYS necessary?

  • No, in some cases a plate/pan is not necessary
  • You may decide to fill up the space with some gravel or lava rock and set the burner on that instead of a plate or pan
  • Using a plate/pan is the most convenient for installation and maintenance

Plate (No Sidewalls)

  • Appropriate for most builds
  • Sidewalls are not necessary when the burner is in the common position- recessed 3-5 inches below the finished top
  • Use stacked cinder blocks, bricks, or pavers under the plate. This makes for a simple and sturdy plate mount

Pans (2″ or 3″ Sidewalls. 2″ is Standard.)

  • If the top of your fire table overlaps, or encroaches into your opening, and its thickness is less than 3 inches, you may want a pan instead of a plate (since the pan has to be smaller than the smallest part of the inside diameter) 
  • The sidewalls help contain the fire media/lava rock

Drop-In Pans (2″ or 3″ Sidewalls + 1″-2″ Lip)

  • Sometimes necessary if you plan on building a portable fire feature and aren’t able to stack up blocks under the plate
  • Bar-height or uncommon builds might benefit from a drop-in pan
  • You will see a brushed aluminum metal band on the top of your fire feature when you use a drop in pan
  • Drop-in pans are available as a custom order – CLICK HERE
  • We recommend 3″ sidewalls with a 1.5″ lip in most cases

Does the plate attach to the burner?

  • In most cases, yes
    • When you order a package from us, most of the time it will come with a threaded piece welded on to the plate/pan
    • The burner screws onto it
    • It’s very simple to remove or attach the burner (righty-tighty, lefty-loosy… make sure to re-apply pipe dope/tape!)
  • It’s not required that the burner attaches to the plate/pan. You can set the burner directly on the plate/pan. This will reduce the height of the burner by 3/4″. This might be beneficial if you want to cover your fire feature with a flat cover

There are many methods to mount a plate/pan inside your fire feature. We’re just going to tell you our favorite way to do things because… well, it has worked well so far! With that being said, these methods may not work in all situations, so put your problem-solving hat on and get creative.

*Complete & RTF Systems:  you won’t need to worry about plate/pan mounting; they’re designed for simplicity

Mounting the Plate/Pan

  • Consider stacking up cinder blocks, bricks, or pavers inside the fire feature cavity
  • Place the plate/pan directly on the blocks
  • Adjust the block height by either adding some fill, or by digging underneath
  • Most commonly, plates/pans are mounted 4″-5″ below the finished top of the fire feature

Plate/Pan Depth

  • 4-5″ below the finished top is recommended
  • Recessing it deeper may make the fire seem smaller, and you won’t see the media as well
  • Recessing it to be more shallow can give it a “proud” look; where all the parts stick up high and make a statement. Though you may have to ‘mound’ the fire media up higher in order to cover the jets. It’s not a bad look, but you won’t be able to use a flat metal cover if that’s your desire.
  • The depth at which the plate sits is really up to you. Keep in mind, the burner sits 3″ high from plate to the tip of the jet

If your fire feature is already built and you can’t use a standard sized plate, you have a few options:

Cut your plate to size on-site

    • Use a jig-saw with metal blade, or a grinder wheel with cutoff
    • It’s 3/16″ aluminum and your cut doesn’t need to look pretty

Make your plate bigger

    • Use concrete board to extend the size of the plate
    • Watch THIS VIDEO to get an idea

Order a Custom Size

*TIP: Give yourself about 1/2″ of space around the plate so that it’s easy to insert into the fire feature opening

Key Ignition Hole to Fire Pit Montana Fire Pits

Operation

  • Much like a BBQ ignition, the push button uses battery power to create a spark.
  • You first manually turn the gas on low.
  • Push the button to create a spark and ignite the fire.
  • Adverse conditions will cause the spark to ground out.
  • Wet fire media or misplacement of the spark rod will cause issues.
  • You can easily manually light the fire with a lighter or match if spark does not occur.

Installation

  • A hole for the spark rod is pre-drilled in the plate/pan unless ordered a la cart.
  • AA battery is housed in the button and easily replaced.

Push Button Ignition Kit + Mounting Bracket

  • Powered by a AA battery
  • Holds a key valve as well as button module
  • To light, turn the key and press spark button until lit
  • Will work with any size burner, but for large burners over 350,000 BTUs, we recommend the Platinum Ignition
  • The bracket allows for more mounting options
  • Can be used in place of a paver
  • Should be combined with a Key Valve/Flex line kit

Dimensions of bracket:

    • Width: Adjustable 8″-12″
    • Height: 3 7/8″ 
    • Depth: 5″

*This unit carries no warranty. Please be aware that this system requires a very precise placement of the spark rod in relation to the burner jet. Any movement or blockage of the spark will restrict the ignition from working properly. In these cases a conventional lighter can be used to ignite your fire.
