Why the Fire Table Market Looks Different in 2026
Outdoor fire pit tables have moved well past the category of seasonal novelty. Propane models still represent the majority of residential purchases—largely because they require zero installation and can be lit within minutes of arriving on your patio. Natural gas models, meanwhile, have grown sharply among buyers who are completing full outdoor kitchen builds or permanent patio installations where a gas line is already run. The operating cost difference is real: natural gas typically runs 30 to 50 percent less per BTU than propane at current utility rates, which adds up quickly for households that use their table three to five evenings a week through a full outdoor season.
BTU output, material quality, and whether the propane tank hides inside the base or sits awkwardly beside it—those are the three questions that separate a fire table you’ll use for a decade from one that gets replaced after two seasons. The ten models below cover a wide spread of budgets, materials, and sizes. Several of them are available through All Backyard Fun’s fire tables collection, which carries both the Oriflamme line and Prism Hardscapes, among other premium brands.
The 10 Best Outdoor Fire Pit Tables Available Right Now
1. Oriflamme Glacier Stone Fire Table — Best Overall
Few fire tables balance raw heat output with everyday usability as well as the Glacier Stone. Available in 34", 42", and 48" round sizes, the 48" round puts out up to 75,000 BTU on propane and 90,000 BTU on natural gas—enough warmth to keep a six- to eight-person seating group comfortable on a 45°F evening. The burner uses a proprietary edge-to-edge design rather than a single central flame, which distributes heat across the full seating circle instead of concentrating it in one spot. Dual propane tanks hide inside the base on the 42" and 48" models, delivering 20 to 30 hours of burn time before a refill. The fiberglass-reinforced quartz concrete top resists cracking and fading, and every component—including the tabletop itself—is interchangeable, so the table can be repaired or upgraded rather than replaced. Natural gas conversion is available via a separate kit. This is the table for buyers who want one piece that handles everything from a quiet Tuesday evening to a full backyard gathering.
Best for: Buyers who want maximum BTU output, hidden tank storage, and long-term repairability. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: Up to 90,000 (NG)
2. Oriflamme Savanna Stone Fire Table — Best for Earthy, Organic Aesthetics
The Savanna Stone uses the same Oriflamme burner platform as the Glacier Stone but wraps it in a hand-finished fiberglass-reinforced quartz concrete surface with warm brown tones and a natural stone texture. It comes in five size options—34" round mini, 42" round, 48" round, 40" square, and a 36" x 58" rectangle—making it one of the more size-flexible entries in the Oriflamme lineup. The 40" square is a useful shape for patios where a round table would waste corner space. BTU output runs from 55,000 (propane, 34" mini) up to 90,000 (natural gas, full-size models). The dual hidden tank system on the 42", 48", rectangle, and square sizes provides up to 24 hours of continuous burn. For buyers who want the look of natural stone without the weight and maintenance of actual stone, this is a strong option.
Best for: Patios with a natural, earthy design palette; buyers who want shape flexibility. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: 55,000–90,000
3. Oriflamme Blackstone Fire Table — Best Modern Finish
Same structural platform as the Savanna Stone and Glacier Stone, but the Blackstone finish—deep charcoal tones in a fiberglass-reinforced quartz concrete body—reads as contemporary in a way the stone-textured finishes don’t. It works particularly well alongside dark powder-coated aluminum furniture or teak seating where a lighter tabletop would feel out of place. Available in 34" round mini, 42" round, 48" round, and 36" x 58" rectangle. The 42" and 48" round and rectangle sizes carry dual hidden propane tanks with 20 to 30 hours of burn time; the 34" mini uses a single tank for 10 to 15 hours. BTU output follows the same 55,000–90,000 range as other full-size Oriflamme models. The burner design delivers edge-to-edge heat, so the table doesn’t develop a cold dead zone at the corners.
Best for: Modern and contemporary outdoor spaces; dark-finish furniture pairings. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: 55,000–90,000
4. Oriflamme Hammered Copper Fire Table — Best Statement Piece
This is the table for buyers who want the fire feature to function as sculpture when the flame is off. Each top is hand-hammered by artisans, which means no two are identical—the copper surface shows natural variation in texture and tone that changes with light and age. Available in 42" and 48" round, both rated at up to 75,000 BTU (propane) and 90,000 BTU (natural gas). The Oriflamme burner system runs underneath the same way it does on the concrete-top models, so heat performance doesn’t take a back seat to aesthetics. Copper develops a patina over time; some buyers treat it as part of the appeal, while others prefer to maintain the original finish with a copper sealant applied seasonally.
Best for: Buyers who want a one-of-a-kind artisan piece; traditional, rustic, or eclectic patio styles. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: Up to 90,000 (NG)
5. Oriflamme Mediterranean Rectangle Gas Fire Table — Best for Large Seating Groups
At 36" x 58", the Mediterranean Rectangle is built for the buyer who has a long sectional or a six-to-eight-seat conversation set and needs a fire table that anchors the whole arrangement rather than sitting awkwardly in the middle. The top is available in four natural granite options—Giallo Santo, Silver Tiger, Blue Pearl, and Tropical Brown—each one unique because granite is a natural material with no two slabs identical. The dual hidden tank system provides 30 to 40 hours of continuous burn time, which is notably longer than the round models. BTU output reaches 90,000 on natural gas. The coffee-table height of 21¾" keeps the flame at a comfortable level for guests seated in standard lounge chairs. Browse the full Oriflamme gas fire pit tables collection to see available granite options.
Best for: Large seating arrangements; buyers who want natural granite and extended burn time. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: Up to 90,000 (NG)
6. Oriflamme Greystone Elegance Fire Table — Best Compact Option
The 34" round Greystone Elegance is the right call when patio square footage is limited but the buyer doesn’t want to sacrifice heat quality. The hand-troweled textured surface is made from fiberglass-reinforced quartz concrete, and the perforated burner pan distributes heat more evenly than a standard ring burner. Output reaches 55,000 BTU on propane and 70,000 BTU on natural gas—solid numbers for a table this size. It runs off a single standard 20-lb. propane tank hidden inside the base, burning 15 to 20 hours on a full tank. At 21.75" tall and roughly 120 lbs., it’s also one of the more manageable Oriflamme models to position on a smaller patio or balcony.
Best for: Smaller patios, apartment terraces, or buyers who want a secondary fire feature alongside a larger one. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: Up to 70,000 (NG)
7. Oriflamme Mini Gas Fire Table — Best Budget-Friendly Oriflamme Entry
The Mini is the entry point into the Oriflamme system. At 34" round, it fits a standard 20-lb. propane tank inside the base—a feature that most fire tables at this size and price point don’t offer. Output reaches up to 70,000 BTU, which is higher than many larger-format competitors. It’s available in four finishes and can be converted to natural gas via a separate kit. For buyers who are new to gas fire tables and want to experience the Oriflamme burner design without committing to a larger format, the Mini is a practical starting point.
Best for: First-time gas fire table buyers; smaller budgets; patios where space is genuinely tight. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: Up to 70,000 (NG)
8. Prism Hardscapes Tavola 1 Fire Table — Best Architectural Concrete Design
Prism Hardscapes builds its fire tables from glass fiber reinforced cement (GFRC) and finishes each one by hand using a custom patina process, which means every unit ships with subtle color and texture variation that mass-produced tables can’t replicate. The Tavola 1 measures 56" x 38" and delivers 65,000 BTU from a stainless steel H-burner. It operates on propane or natural gas and comes with a choice of match-light or electronic ignition. The low 16" profile gives it a distinctly architectural look—more like a piece of hardscape than furniture—which suits buyers designing around a modern or minimalist outdoor aesthetic. Prism Hardscapes products are sold through authorized dealers; All Backyard Fun carries the line.
Best for: Modern and architectural patio designs; buyers who want handcrafted concrete with genuine variation. Fuel: Propane or natural gas | BTU: 65,000
9. Ebel Trevi Rectangular Aluminum Propane Fire Pit Table — Best Aluminum Frame Option
Not every buyer wants a concrete or stone-top fire table. The Ebel Trevi uses a powder-coated aluminum frame at 70" x 32" x 20" and carries a 15-year frame warranty alongside a three-year finish warranty and a two-year burner warranty—which is among the stronger warranty packages in the category. It runs on propane with a natural gas conversion available. The aluminum construction keeps weight down compared to GFRC or granite models, which matters for buyers who may want to reposition the table seasonally or move it between spaces. The Trevi strikes a balance between durability and a more refined, furniture-forward appearance.
Best for: Buyers who want a lighter-weight fire table with strong warranty coverage; transitional outdoor styles. Fuel: Propane (natural gas conversion available) | BTU: Varies by configuration
10. Polywood Rectangle Fire Pit Table — Best for Low-Maintenance Patios
Polywood’s fire table is built from the brand’s proprietary high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, which resists splintering, chipping, cracking, and fading—and carries a 20-year warranty. At 34" x 46", it has a smaller footprint than most entries on this list, which suits compact patios and smaller seating areas where a 48" round or 58" rectangle would crowd the space. It ships with a clear glass wind guard and a protective cover. The table runs on propane with a natural gas hookup available. For buyers who want zero-maintenance outdoor furniture and a fire table that can genuinely be left outside year-round in most U.S. climates without seasonal storage, Polywood’s HDPE construction is a practical choice.
Best for: Low-maintenance households; smaller patios; buyers in harsh climates who need weatherproof materials. Fuel: Propane (natural gas hookup available) | BTU: 30,000–50,000 range
Propane vs. Natural Gas: Which Should You Choose?
Propane is the default choice for most buyers, and for good reason. It requires no installation, the tank stores inside the base on most quality models, and you can have the table running the same day it arrives. The main limitation is refill logistics—a 20-lb. propane tank lasts anywhere from 10 to 30 hours depending on BTU output and flame height, so a household that uses the table frequently will be refilling every few weeks during peak season.
Natural gas eliminates the refill question entirely. Running a new gas line to a patio costs roughly $300 to $700 in most U.S. markets plus a licensed plumber for the connection. That’s a real upfront cost, but for buyers who use their table multiple times per week through a full season, the lower per-BTU operating cost of natural gas tends to recover that installation expense within two to three years. The other consideration: a natural gas fire table cannot be moved after installation without capping the line. If you’re renting, planning to move, or simply want flexibility, propane is the correct choice regardless of cost math.
Most Oriflamme models ship in propane configuration with a natural gas conversion kit available separately, which gives buyers the option to start with propane and convert later if they add a gas line to their patio.
What to Look for Before You Buy
BTU output matters more than most buyers expect. For a standard residential patio with a six-to-eight-seat conversation set, 40,000 to 55,000 BTU handles most evenings comfortably. Push above 65,000 BTU if the patio is exposed to consistent wind, if you’re in a colder climate, or if you regularly host larger groups. The Oriflamme edge-to-edge burner design at 75,000–90,000 BTU is notably warmer than most competitors at similar table sizes.
Hidden tank storage is a quality-of-life feature that separates premium fire tables from budget ones. A propane tank sitting beside the table on a hose looks cluttered and creates a trip hazard. Most Oriflamme models, including the Mini, store the tank inside the base entirely out of sight.
Material durability determines how the table ages. GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete) and fiberglass-reinforced quartz concrete are both lighter than poured concrete and more resistant to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles. Powder-coated aluminum won’t rust but can dent. HDPE (like Polywood) is essentially weatherproof but heavier and less refined-looking than stone or concrete.
A burner cover or lid is not optional if the table will sit outside year-round. Moisture, debris, and insects get into an uncovered burner bowl and create ignition problems. Most quality manufacturers offer a metal lid as an accessory; buy it with the table rather than after the first season.
For buyers who want to explore the full range of options currently available—from compact propane models to large natural gas configurations—the Oriflamme fire tables collection at All Backyard Fun covers the complete lineup with detailed specs for each size and finish.
