Looking at getting a pre-fab, propane fueled fire pit for the patio. Ideally, I'd like to keep it under $500. Anyone have experience with anything like this? Home Depot has a couple made by Hampton Bay that have pretty good reviews.

Summerfield 44in X 24.5in Square Steel Propane Fire Pit

I was getting ready to start an identical thread. My wife wants on of these.

I imagine the one you posted is better than the one from Walmart

My kid is just really into S'mores. Also need a table anyway, so thought it might be kinda nice to have.

Same here. We have a big wood burning fire pit. On week nights, its a bitch to fire up, smell like smoke, and get the kids to bed on time. The table that came with our patio set is total crap and has a glass top. I think this would be a nice option for us. I had no clue where to start either.

That looks nice. I’ve been looking at the Solo, but it doesn’t have a table.

i had the breeo 24" doubleflame. I enjoyed it for a long afternoon/evening with friends or kids. But it takes a while to get it smokeless an like others mentioned, with kids i needed something quick and easy. I sold it and got a little $99 gas pit off of wayfair.

Reading comprehension is sure going downhill.

Following as I'm looking for the same thing.

Updated title. Maybe that will help clarify the request.

Here's the one we have. Amazon

My wife wanted one and it's turned out to be pretty useful. We light the fire on cool nights and just use it as a table the rest of the time.

Does it put off any amount of heat or is it more of a show feature?

We’ve had one for about 3-4yrs and really enjoy it. It does put out some heat but it’s not going to keep you warm if it’s under 50° and if you’re not in a screened in porch. We have a low, uninsulated aluminum porch cover and some outdoor shades that we can lower to knock the wind down that help raise the temp of the back porch a little. But as you can see from the pic, we can turn the flame down and use it as a table without the worry of things getting too hot.

Well, I should have looked at it better. We already have a wood burning one.

Over your budget right now but I’ve had my eyes on this

Propane fire pit on top, propane heater below, nice looking table top (and can still use the lower heater with it as a table). Seems super functional, just gotta find the best deal on it and pull the trigger

I also like the hidden tank and controls

OP, I bought the top rated on from HD yesterday. It’s nice. It was $220

Not in your price range. But the build and quality of this has held up great.
Rooms to Go - Outdoor

Puts out enough heat for south Louisiana and is large enough for eating and entertaining.

It actually puts out more heat than I thought it would have.

I’ve had this one for just short of 5 years. Nice when the kids want s’mores and mom and dad don’t want to smell like campfire.
