Does high elevation affect how a gas fire pit burns?
Barely, at Fletcher's 2,150 feet. Sitting right on the natural-gas mains along the I-26 corridor, Fletcher's fire pits run clean once the burner is jetted for this modest elevation — thin air isn't the factor here. Whether it's a Cane Creek backyard or an airport-area commercial patio, fuel type and siting shape the flame far more than altitude.
On the mains, elevation minor
Fletcher is squarely natural-gas country along the Asheville-to-Hendersonville corridor, so most pits here run off the main rather than a tank. At 2,150 feet the oxygen difference from sea level is small, and an open pit draws all the air it needs — so a burner jetted for natural gas at this height burns clean without fuss. Altitude is a footnote; jetting and siting are the story.
Residential and commercial patios
Fletcher's 1990s subdivisions came with builder-grade fireplaces indoors, and outdoors the demand runs broad — steady I-26 corridor construction plus airport-area commercial properties that want gas fire features and patio heaters. Natural gas means no tanks to refill on a busy commercial site, just a clean flame at the flip of a switch.
