Outdoor gas fire pits are the option if you want an exterior fire but reside in a place that does not allow wood burning like Florida or the transportation of firewood like Michigan. You need to ask your regional fire department but they have to permit the usage of a gas fire. They are also good if your family experience allergies or asthma and cannot bear the smoke a wood fire produces. Also the factor they burn easily, put off at a click of a button and don't make any mess to clear up is a huge selling point.

So what models of outdoor gas fire pits are available? You can make a personalized fire pit in your garden that can create value to your home and will even help it sell off in a difficult market. These models are not cheap and they must be planted by someone experienced to work with gas. They come in a variety of models and can be built into an outdoor kitchen if that is what you want.

There is an enormous variety of readymade units available on line for people who do not have the area or money available to build customized outdoor gas fire pits. Some of these devices are fully movable so you can carry them on a camping trip, to your local park and also placing them in your backyard. Others are bigger and are designed to be set up as a feature piece in your backyard. Some are made for entertaining and cooking though others will just function as a heater on a cool evening. A modern stainless steel gas fire pit is ideal if you own a fashionable home. A slate or marble layout may go well with a more period style home although obviously the end decision is down to personal preference.
