Know before you buy
Yes, the Ark 40 is designed for dual-fuel flexibility. However, please note that switching between ethanol and gas requires specific conversion components, so it is best to decide on your primary fuel source during the initial setup.
If you choose to use natural gas, you will need a licensed gas fitter to handle the connection to your home's supply. Ethanol operation, however, is self-contained and does not require any professional installation.
Yes, the firescreen is included with your purchase. It is designed to be easily removable, allowing you to switch between a clean, open-flame look and a protected setup depending on your preference or safety needs.
The unit features adjustable feet at the base, which allow you to level the fire pit on slightly uneven surfaces like stone pavers or decking. This ensures the flame remains stable and the unit sits securely.
Both fuel options provide a beautiful, real flame, but they serve different purposes. Ethanol is primarily for ambiance and clean-burning aesthetics, while natural gas or propane typically provides a higher heat output for warming your outdoor space.
