My house doesn't have natural gas service — can I still get a permanently plumbed fire pit with a dedicated propane tank?
Yes — propane is the everyday fuel out in Leicester. On these large rural properties up Sandy Mush and Turkey Creek, many homes run on propane and wood rather than a gas main, and a permanently plumbed pit off a dedicated tank fits right in. We run and pressure-test the buried outdoor-rated line; your propane supplier owns and fills the tank.
Big lots, easy tank placement
Leicester's rural acreage is some of the simplest fire-feature country we serve — plenty of room to set the tank well off the gathering area and route the buried line cleanly to the pit. A dedicated propane tank feeds a fixed pit exactly as a utility main would. Since wood heat and house propane are both common up here, we can often tie the pit into a tank you already have.
Grid-independent by nature
Some remote Leicester properties have limited electrical capacity, and that's a point in a propane pit's favor: it makes fire and heat straight off the tank, without leaning on the house's electrical system. On clear winter nights the rural valleys here drain 5 to 8 degrees colder than Asheville, so a warm, self-contained outdoor feature earns real use across a long season.
The licensed gas connection
The tank stays with your propane supplier. The regulator, buried run, and burner are ours — in North Carolina, extending a gas line is licensed work a handyman legally can't do. We pull the Buncombe County permit, meet the inspector, and pressure-test the line. Call (828) 545-0525.
