With spring approaching, now is the perfect time to get your fire pit figured out so you can enjoy it as the weather becomes more favorable for spending time outdoors. A fire pit is the perfect addition to any outdoor space, providing warmth, ambiance, and a central gathering spot for family and friends. Whether you're a homeowner looking for a quick and easy installation or a professional landscaper in need of high-quality components for custom builds, Flame Source has the perfect fire pit solution for you. Let's explore some of the different types of fire pits available and how they can elevate your outdoor projects.

1. Plug & Play Fire Pits – Effortless Setup, Instant Enjoyment

For those looking for a hassle-free fire pit solution, our Plug & Play fire pits are the way to go. These units arrive fully assembled and only require placement and connection to utilities—whether gas or electric (if an electronic ignition is selected) and media placement. With various styles, sizes, shapes, ignition options, finishes, and materials available, you can find the perfect fit for any design aesthetic.

2. DIY Fire Pit Forms, Burners & Components – Build Your Custom Fire Pit

For DIY enthusiasts and contractors looking to craft a unique fire pit, our DIY Fire Pit Forms, Burners & Components provide everything needed to bring custom designs to life. Whether you're constructing a fire pit from stone, concrete, or metal, our kits ensure safe and efficient operation while delivering stunning flames. Need an RTF Fire pit form to expedite your build, we've got those too. 

  • Ready-to-Finish (RTF) Fire Pit Forms – Pre-engineered structures that can be quickly finished with stone, stucco, or other materials, saving time and effort while ensuring a professional result. 
  • Stand Alone Burners – Various shapes, styles, and sizes to fit any fire pit design. Need something custom, no problem! We can build fire pit burners to your specifications. 
  • Drop-In Burner & Pan Kits – Provide a sturdy foundation for proper installation and media containment. The pan & burner combos are the most popular fire pit burner kits that we offer, and they can be ordered with various ignition types to meet the needs of all applications. 

3. Complete Paver Kits – The Ideal Solution for Landscapers & Hardscapers

If you're a professional landscaper or hardscaper designing a fire pit using pavers, our Complete Paver Kits make the process seamless. These kits include all the essential burner components needed to transform a paver-built structure into a fully functional fire pit, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring a perfect fit.

Whether you are wanting, round, square, or linear, we've got you covered. Looking for a burner with BIG FLAMES, check out our kits featuring the jetted style Bullet Burner. From match lit to full electronic ignition, we have all the ignition options you and your clients are looking for.

4. Fire Pit Add-Ons – Enhance Your Fire Feature and Protect Your Investment

To take your fire pit to the next level, consider adding high-quality accessories that improve safety, functionality, and aesthetics.

  • Fire Pit Covers – Protect your fire pit from the elements when not in use. Especially important in areas with lots of rain, snow, and sun exposure.
  • Fire Glass, Lava Rock & Logs – Choose from various media options to create a customized look. The right fire pit media can easily transform a firepit from "meh" to "AMAZING!". 
  • Wind Guards – Essential for keeping flames steady in breezy conditions. Not only does this help with flame control, but it can also add a layer of protection with small children and pets, as well as reducing excessive heat around the burner area if you need to set down a drink or prop up your feet.
