Can I convert my wood-burning fire pit to gas?
Yes. Fletcher sits right on the natural-gas mains, which makes conversions here clean — plumb the pit once, never touch a tank. Whether it's a 1990s subdivision patio off Howard Gap or a commercial property along the I-26 corridor, a wood pit converts with a sized gas burner and a licensed line we permit through Henderson County.
Subdivision patios, gas-ready
Fletcher's 1990s-era subdivisions came with builder-grade fireplaces and, often, a basic outdoor pit. Because natural gas already runs to these neighborhoods, converting is usually straightforward — we clear the ash bowl, confirm the enclosure, drop in a sized natural-gas burner, and finish with fire glass or lava rock. The result is flame at the turn of a key on a patio that used to mean hauling wood.
Commercial and airport-area demand
The airport and I-26 corridor draw steady commercial work in Fletcher, and outdoor gas features are a big part of it — patios for restaurants, offices, and hospitality spaces where a fire pit that lights instantly and shuts off cleanly is a practical necessity, not a weekend hobby. We handle the burner, the hard-plumbed gas line, and the permit as one job, sized for the way the space actually gets used.
Permitted through Henderson County
Connecting the fuel is licensed work in North Carolina — a landscaper or general contractor legally can't do it. We pull the permit with Henderson County, meet the inspector, and pressure-test the line before first flame, residential or commercial. Fletcher's 20 minutes south of our Asheville shop.
