Yes — and in Canton, converting a fire pit is a good moment to have the gas side looked at properly. Recent Pigeon River flooding water-damaged hearths and gas connections across town, so inspection and a correctly permitted line matter more here than most places. We run a licensed line to a sized burner and permit it through Haywood County.
Why the connection gets a close look
Canton's valley-floor homes took on water, and gas appliances and connections that have been through a flood need real scrutiny before anyone trusts them again. A fire-pit conversion is exactly the kind of job where a licensed contractor's permit, pressure test, and inspector sign-off aren't red tape — they're how you know the fuel side is sound. We won't cut that corner on a mill-town patio any more than on an indoor hearth.
Fog, damp, and rust
Mornings on the Pigeon River valley floor sit under fog and dampness that rust dampers and chimney caps earlier than folks expect — and the same moisture works on burner components outdoors. We set the parts so they drain and stay dry, and jet the burner for your fuel, whether that's natural gas closer in or propane out toward Bethel.
One accountable job
A gas fire pit also lights without power, so it's usable for light and gathering when the grid's down — but the point is doing it right: burner, line, permit, and pressure test on one accountable path. We're 20 minutes west of the Asheville shop. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free look at your pit and its gas connection.
