My wife wants a propane fire pit for Christmas. It’s going to be under a roof in our outdoor kitchen so it won’t get rained on. Does anyone have any advice?

What are some good brands?

Anything to avoid or make sure I don’t overlook?

How tall are the ceilings?

The smoke will collect in any pockets in the ceiling. And it will turn everything a smoke yellow color. If there is a ceiling fan, that should help clear the smoke out for the most part but I'd be curious to see if it prevented it entirely. Also, if you have a fan, the smoke may be blown back down on anyone in the fire pit area.

That's the only obvious thing I can think of.

The ceilings are 15’ but I’m hoping using propane eliminates any smoke issues

We have this one. On the one hand, I kind of miss the real wood burning fire pit. But I sure don't miss smelling like campfire.

$400 at Lowe's.

Does it put out enough heat to stay warm

Definitely. You can adjust the flame intensity, so that's nice on those nights where you just want a fire to roast some marshmallows for s'mores. Or you can crank it up to sit outside and stay warm.

Go ahead and raise your homeowners insurance limits while you're at it.

I’m no firefighter, but this sounds like a bad idea.
