Safe Propane. Brighter Gatherings.
Essential Propane Firepit Safety Tips
- Inspect Before Use: Check hoses, connections and the firepit for damage, wear or leaks before lighting.
- Use the Right Tank: Only use approved propane tanks and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Keep A Safe Distance: Place the firepit at least 10 feet away from buildings, overhangs, fences, and combustible materials.
- Watch The Wind: Avoid using firepits in high winds. Strong winds can blow flames, embers or heat toward people and property.
- Use Outdoors Only: Propane firepits should only be used in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Never use indoors, in tents or enclosed spaces.
- Turn It Off: Always turn off the propane tank valve when not in use and before storing the firepit.
- Keep Others Safe: Keep children and pets at a safe distance from the firepit while in use.
- Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Read and follow all manufacturer instructions for safe operation, cleaning and maintenance.

A few minutes of preparation go a long way toward keeping outdoor spaces comfortable and secure. Make safety part of your routine every time you light a propane firepit.
