Best Fire Pit Tables for Your Patio (2026)
Updated March 2026 · By Porch & Fire
A fire pit table gives you the best of both worlds — warmth and ambiance from a real flame, plus a flat surface to set your drink on. No more balancing a wine glass on a wobbly chair arm while huddled around a fire ring on the ground.
We compared propane and natural gas models by heat output, table size, build quality, and how they look both lit and unlit. Because a fire pit table sits on your patio all the time — it needs to look good even when it is off.
Outland Living Series 401 Propane Fire Pit Table
The 401 hits the sweet spot between price and quality. It puts out 35,000 BTU on a standard 20-pound propane tank that hides inside the base. The slate tabletop has a natural stone look. Comes with a cover, fire glass, and a CSA certification so your homeowners insurance stays happy.
What We Like
- ✓ 35,000 BTU output
- ✓ Propane tank hides inside the base
- ✓ CSA certified
Watch Out For
- ✗ Propane tank not included
- ✗ Table surface gets warm near the flame ring
BALI OUTDOORS 42-Inch Rectangular Fire Pit Table
If you have a rectangular patio layout, this 42-inch table fits the flow. It puts out 50,000 BTU — noticeably warmer than smaller models. The wicker-look base panels add texture without maintenance. Includes a burner cover that turns it into a flat table surface when the fire is off.
What We Like
- ✓ 50,000 BTU — strong heat output
- ✓ Burner cover converts to full table
- ✓ Wicker base panels look premium
Watch Out For
- ✗ Larger footprint — needs space
- ✗ LP hose connection is on the short side
Tacklife Propane Fire Pit Table 28-Inch
Not everyone has room for a 42-inch table. The Tacklife is 28 inches square — small enough for a balcony or a tight patio corner. It still puts out a respectable 50,000 BTU and comes with lava rocks, a lid, and a waterproof cover. The steel construction is powder-coated for rust resistance.
What We Like
- ✓ Compact 28-inch size
- ✓ 50,000 BTU in a small package
- ✓ Includes cover and lava rocks
Watch Out For
- ✗ Small tabletop — not much surface for drinks
- ✗ Steel is heavier than aluminum models
SereneLife Outdoor Propane Gas Fire Pit Table
A full fire pit table under $150 that does not look cheap. The faux stone magnesium oxide body handles heat and weather without cracking. Puts out 40,000 BTU with an adjustable flame. Includes lava rocks and a PVC cover. Honestly hard to believe for the price.
What We Like
- ✓ Under $150
- ✓ Magnesium oxide body — durable
- ✓ Adjustable flame control
Watch Out For
- ✗ Lighter weight — secure it on windy patios
- ✗ Ignition can be finicky in cold weather
Elementi Granville Fire Table
This is the one that makes people think you hired a landscape designer. Poured concrete fiber construction with a clean modern silhouette. The 45,000 BTU burner uses either propane or natural gas (conversion kit included). Weighs 97 pounds so it is not going anywhere. This is furniture, not just a fire pit.
What We Like
- ✓ Poured concrete look — stunning design
- ✓ Propane or natural gas compatible
- ✓ Extremely sturdy at 97 pounds
Watch Out For
- ✗ Nearly $900
- ✗ Very heavy — set it where you want it and leave it
Propane vs Natural Gas Fire Pit Tables
Propane is portable — you can move the table anywhere and just swap tanks when they run out. Natural gas connects to your home gas line, which means no tanks to refill but you need a gas line run to where the table sits.
If you are renting or might rearrange your patio, go propane. If you own the home and your table has a permanent spot, natural gas is more convenient long-term. Many premium models work with both using a conversion kit.
