Will a fireplace company install a fire pit or fire table I bought online somewhere else?
Yes — Mills River is made for outdoor living, and we regularly plumb fire pits and fire tables homeowners bought online. Many properties here run on propane, so we set the regulator off your tank, match the unit's orifice to LP, and permit through Henderson County — best planned in late spring before entertaining season.
Plan it before the entertaining season
The open valley and big rural lots around Mills River, Horse Shoe, and Banner Farm are built for gathering outside, and a gas fire pit anchors that without smoke or wood-hauling. The move is to plan the install in late spring — line route across the property, trench, burner, and controls — so it's tested and ready before the evenings you actually want it. You bring the unit; we handle everything that makes it burn.
Propane setup on rural lots
Out here the gas is usually propane, and a pit ordered online often ships set for natural gas — running LP through the wrong orifice soots and starves the flame. We confirm your fuel, convert the unit if needed, coordinate tank and regulator with your propane supplier, and set the pressure. We also verify the CSA or UL listing and, on any built-in, the drainage and venting the enclosure needs so propane can't pool.
The part the law reserves for us
In North Carolina the fuel connection is licensed work — not something a landscaper or delivery crew can legally finish. We run the line, pressure-test it, coordinate the propane side, and permit it with Henderson County. Bring us the unit you ordered and we'll handle the part the law reserves for us.
