How much does it cost per hour to run a gas fire pit?
In Asheville, a gas fire pit is one of the cheapest things you'll run on your patio. Most of the city sits on natural-gas mains, and gas metered by the therm off a utility line is the least expensive fuel there is hour for hour — a 60,000-BTU pit sips about 60 cubic feet on high, far less on a low flame.
Metered gas is the whole reason it's cheap here
Because Asheville homes from North Asheville down to South Asheville draw natural gas straight off the main, your fire pit runs on the same metered supply as your range or furnace — no tank to lease, no delivery to schedule, no per-gallon markup. We tie a buried, outdoor-rated line off your existing meter and bring it up under the pit, so the flame you light in Montford or Biltmore Village costs you only what the utility charges per therm.
The older masonry homes north of downtown and the newer clean-face builds to the south both handle it the same way once the line is in. Turn the flame down once everyone's settled into the chairs and consumption drops with it.
The stone is a landscaper's job; the fuel is ours
A hardscaper can build you a beautiful stone surround, but in North Carolina no one can legally connect it to gas without a license — that's our lane and no one else's. We pull the Buncombe County permit, run and pressure-test the line, and set the burner for your fuel.
Being headquartered right here on Emma Road means the crew is minutes from most Asheville patios. The Napoleon Uptown we display in the showroom is the kind of square gas pit that drops neatly into a built surround, and on a low, relaxed flame it's an afterthought on the bill next to how many cool evenings you'll actually use it.
