How To Build A Propane Fire Pit.

How To Build a Propane Fire Pit.
The fire pit below was built by Charlie Helms in North Carolina using our FPPK (fire pit propane kit) burner. This is a propane fire pit with a lava filler. Charlie is now ready to order the glass. Check it out, great job Charlie! The fire pit is covered to protect it from whatever may fall. Great job! The fire pit below was build by Mike Phillips ( a customer). First he ran a propane line to the fire pit area and then blocked his fire pit into shape. We use a FPPK (fire pit propane kit) in an aluminum pan 24" x 24" with a double 18" double stainless steel ring.The glass that was used was a Gray base and Gray Reflective on top to add sparkle. Below you can see the placement of the thermo coupler and safety pilot light used for propane. Below on the right side the controls were installed in the bricks. The fire pit below belongs to Mike DeVito in Northern California. When I saw his idea I was excited to help him create something new and wonderful. He took a very old mining cart in his front yard and we helped him convert it to a propane burning fire pit! Turned out pretty cool! Next he is getting a fire pit cover made to cover it from debris and who else knows what. We use a FPPK (fire pit propane kit) with valves, thermo coupler, pilot light and air mixer. The glass that was use is: Starfire base glass over a bed of crushed lava rock, Yellow Amber Topper Steel Blue Topper Turquoise Blue Topper Green Tubes Copper Ruby Red Topper Ice Ice Ice and of course our Diamonds in Clear, Pink, Amber and Blue. I think this is one really nice idea! It is all supplied by this 20 lb propane tank Here is the mining cart with the base plate installed with the burners Here you see the controls, air mixer and thermo coupler and pilot light lines under the base plate You can use a larger (3/4", 1" lava) as a base under our 1/4" crushed lava as this will save you a few dollars. Now we pour on the crushed lava to keep the glass from sinking into the larger lava. Add some Starfire Splash a few colors Have your spouse light it in case something should go wrong! (Just Kidding) Again here are the first pictures we saw of the mining cart. Great Idea! Mike, you did a great job! Our products do not require any certification from the AGA, CSA or UL as it is considered a stand-alone product by these agencies. We are told that we would need a certification if sand and or lava rock would need certification. The agencies are franchise operations and they are privately owned and they are not a government agency. These agencies are hired for mass production testing and AGA, CSA and or UL do not certify custom one of a kind projects. Custom burners need no certification as this only applies to production equipment. Just so you can understand that a certification costs about $15,000.00 and certification was developed for production/ mass production to assure quality. Any parts that would normally need AGA or UL do in fact have these approvals. Parts with function need and should have some sort of approval. The pan burners we sell that do have UL, CSA and or any other listings are produced by other companies. The custom pan burners that we produce are just that, custom. Therefore do not require UL, CSA and or any other agency listings as these are custom. The parts that we use to build these pans are UL, CSA listed as they should be. We would never use any “Third World Country” or any unlisted, untested parts to build any products and or parts to endanger any product performance what so ever. The fire pit below was built by Scott Spector in Florida. He started with an FPPK 30 which includes a 30" base plate and a double 24" stainless steel ring. Here we go from the beginning: The propane line was run/ installed under the pavers. The colors that were used are 1/2" Clear base, Black Magic in the center, Clear Diamonds, Cobalt Blue Topper, Clear Topper, Cobalt Blue Light Topper and our FPPK 30". That is our 30" propane burner. You can see the actual burner above burning before shipment and installation. We don't have any pictures of the fire pit burning at Scott's but he did tel us that when he fired it up again he would try to send us a few pictures. Thanks Scott. The fire table below was built by Christina "Stina" in the San Francisco area. With a little ambition, imagination and our help, she now has one very nice fire table. Here is where it started. She made a template of the pan and where the mounting tabs would be located. Then we built the aluminum pan and propane burner for Stina to install. Below is how the teak table started. We just brought it into the future. Below the pan was installed with Galaxy Green base glass. Below you can see the top installed and what a difference. Below is her wonderfully finished project, Great job Stina! The burner below is one of our FPPK's (fire pit propane kit). With this FPPK we set it up for Black Magic! This was table tested for the pictures. Hopefully the customer will send us pictures after and during installation. We first sent these pictures for the customers approval. Here you go! The pan below belongs to Scott Spector and he finally installed the fire pit in his back yard, WOW, one really nice backyard! This is one of our propane pan burner with slight modifications. As you can see around the lower edges it was leaking and yes we did fix this. Here is the answer some of you think you know. (You don't!) These are Air Mixers, Venturis Carburetors. These like a carburetor on any engine act as the air fuel mixture governor. Have you ever been behind an older car that smells funny? Wrong air mixture! Bad mechanic! The air mixers have to be calibrated not only to the valving but the burner as well. We have been building propane burners for several years now and we have never had an issue with any configuration that we have built, ever. It's the same as porting an engine for proper air flow. If you just STICK one of these on your burner then you may be giving us a call soon enough. Here are a few pictures of the 1/2" and 3/4" air mixers, (40,000 to 400,000 btu mixers). If you attach it and create back pressure, you will have a fire or an explosion, guaranteed. We are not trying to frighten you but to make you aware. We believe in safety first and we don't build systems without thermo couples and or pilot light systems, ever! As you may have of seen on our "How Not To Do It Page" they still screw up no matter how hard they try. We are here only to help!
