My house doesn't have natural gas service — can I still get a permanently plumbed fire pit with a dedicated propane tank?
Absolutely — Fairview is classic propane country. On these wooded rural lots up Cane Creek and Garren Creek, homes run on propane and wood, not a gas main, so a dedicated tank feeding a permanently plumbed pit is simply how it's done here. We run and pressure-test the buried, outdoor-rated line; your propane supplier owns, places, and fills the tank.
This is propane's home turf
The natural-gas mains stay along the Asheville and Hendersonville corridors — Fairview is out past them, on tanks, and that's the standard rather than a compromise. A permanently plumbed propane pit performs exactly like a natural-gas one. Wood heat runs deep here, and many properties already keep a propane tank besides, which means we can often plumb the pit off that existing vessel instead of setting a second.
Wooded acreage makes siting simple
Fairview's big, tree-covered lots give us room to place the tank discreetly — screened back in the tree line, well clear of the patio — and route the buried outdoor-rated line to the pit without crowding the yard. On acreage, setbacks and placement are rarely a fight; it's mostly a question of where you want to gather and where the fill truck can reach.
Why only we can make the connection
The tank belongs to your propane supplier, who owns and services it. Everything from the regulator on — the buried run, the appliance hookup, the burner setup — is licensed gas work, and in North Carolina a landscaper or general contractor legally can't touch it. We pull the Buncombe County permit, meet the inspector, and test every line. Call (828) 545-0525.
