How much does it cost per hour to run a gas fire pit?
In Fairview you're mostly in propane country, so a gas fire pit's hourly cost comes off your delivered per-gallon rate — about two-thirds of a gallon an hour on high, less on a low flame. That's a small price against what these wooded lots usually pay in wood: no cordwood to buy, split, season, or haul, and no ash.
The gas pit versus the woodpile
Fairview's large wooded lots make wood heat natural — plenty of homes here run stoves and burn cordwood — so the honest comparison for a fire pit isn't gas against a utility bill, it's gas against the woodpile.
A propane pit costs a little each hour off your per-gallon rate, but there's nothing to fell, split, season, stack, or carry out to it, no smoke, and no ash to shovel afterward. For a lot of Fairview families that convenience is the whole point, and a low flame keeps the fuel cost minimal.
Propane connected, permitted in Buncombe
Since Fairview is propane country, the pit plumbs into your existing tank system — we connect and set it, and coordinate with your supplier on the fuel. The outdoor line is licensed gas work no matter the fuel: we run it, pressure-test it, pull the Buncombe County permit, and set the burner orifices for propane so it burns clean.
And unlike the woodpile, a gas pit needs no seasoning ahead and lights the moment you want it. Fairview is about 15 minutes east of our showroom. Call (828) 545-0525.
