Know before you buy
Yes, the Macon fire pit is compatible with both fuel types. Please note that you may need a professional conversion kit or plumber to safely set up a natural gas connection.
Cast aluminum is an excellent choice for outdoor furniture because it is naturally rust-resistant and durable. The matt gray finish is designed to withstand the elements, though we recommend using a protective cover during the off-season to keep it looking its best.
Chat height refers to a design that sits lower than a standard dining table, typically around 24 inches. It is specifically intended to be paired with deep-seated lounge chairs or sofas, creating a relaxed, conversational atmosphere.
The Macon fire pit is designed with a hollow base that typically accommodates a standard 20lb propane tank. This keeps the tank hidden from view for a cleaner, more polished look.
A 50,000 BTU output is powerful enough to provide significant warmth for a group of people sitting around the 52-inch table. It is well-suited for extending your time outdoors on chilly spring or autumn evenings.
Assembly is straightforward but requires some time and effort, as you will need to attach the base panels to the tabletop. We recommend having two people on hand to help flip the unit upright once assembled, given its 85-pound weight.
