My new backyard had the perfect spot for a round gas fire pit and a set of chairs. In this article, I share why I selected a round propane fire pit for my backyard and why I feel it is the best propane fire pit for the money.

Firepits provide a fun atmosphere to backyards and outdoor living spaces. The three main types of fire pits include propane, wood-burning, and natural gas. They are popular to use in cooler months, but I also enjoy mine in the summertime in the evening.

My raised garden bed is doing well and producing a lot of peppers and strawberries. Link to the raised cedar planter here.

There are hundreds of affordable and nicely designed fire pit options. Initially, I planned to order a smokeless wood-burning fire pit like a Solo. But as a single woman, I wanted something easy to turn on and off without much maintenance.

I narrowed things down to propane-based fire pits because of their ease of use. Within propane fire pits there are coffee table height designs and higher gas fire pit tables. 

Ultimately I selected the Teamson Stone-Look Propane Gas Firepit. The color looks natural in my backyard, has an adjustable flame height, and it has a wide stone area to rest feet. At the time of my purchase from Wal-Mart, this fire pit was priced under $250. I recommend watching for sales! 

I also purchased a metal side table designed to hide a propane tank. The lid opens easily for me to shut the propane on and off. Once I turn the propane on, I use the push button igniter to start the fire. It is straightforward to use with minimal maintenance!

This fire pit includes a cover that I keep on it when cooled and not in use. After 8 months there is some peeling on the faux stone top, but the fire pit includes a paint touch-up kit.

Ultimately I am so glad I purchased this round fire pit for my backyard and found it to be the best propane fire pit for my small yard. For under $300, it looks expensive, is easy to use, low maintenance, and a relaxing place to read and rest our feet.

Do you own a fire pit? Do you use it year-round or seasonally? What is its fuel source, wood or gas?
