My house doesn't have natural gas service — can I still get a permanently plumbed fire pit with a dedicated propane tank?
Yes. Clyde sits between Canton and Waynesville in Haywood County, and it's mixed-fuel — many homes here run on propane rather than a gas main. A permanently plumbed pit off a dedicated tank fits fine. We pull the county permit, run the buried outdoor-rated line, and pressure-test it; your propane supplier owns and fills the tank.
Permitting in Haywood County
Clyde falls under Haywood County, the same jurisdiction as neighboring Canton and Waynesville, so a permanent gas fire pit here is pulled, inspected, and signed off through that county office. We handle that end to end — filing the permit, meeting the inspector on site, and pressure-testing the line before it's ever lit. Permitted work also protects your homeowner's insurance and the home's future sale; unpermitted gas can put both at risk.
Propane where the main doesn't run
Off the natural-gas line, a dedicated tank feeds the pit exactly as a utility connection would. Clyde shares the cold-air drainage and river humidity of the lower Pigeon valley — conditions that rust dampers and metal early — so we use outdoor-rated, corrosion-minded fittings throughout. If you already keep propane for the house, we can usually branch the pit off that tank.
A fit for the older ranch stock
Clyde's 1960s-80s ranch homes take a permanent outdoor pit easily, and it's often the same visit where owners ask about updating a dated indoor fireplace. The gas connection itself is licensed work — a mason legally can't make it in North Carolina — so it stays in our lane. Call (828) 545-0525 and we'll size the run.
