Fire Pit Art Asia 36-Inch Handcrafted Carbon Steel Gas Fire Pit

The Fire Pit Art Asia 36-Inch Gas Fire Pit is equipped with a Penta 18" 125K BTU burner, which provides a flame well-suited for small to medium-sized gatherings. The HPC stainless steel Penta burner delivers a uniform, full campfire effect, making it practical for warmth in a standard patio seating arrangement. If you need more output, some retailers offer upgrade burner options up to 200K BTU for larger spaces.

Yes, the Asia 36-Inch fire pit can be used on wood or composite decking, but it must rest on a stone base that is at least 1.5 inches thick and approximately three feet square to protect the surface from radiant heat. Alternatively, a Deck Protect fire pad can be used to place the fire pit safely on any surface. These precautions are required to prevent heat damage to the decking material beneath.

The Asia 36-Inch is available with either a Match Lit ignition or the All-Weather Electronic Ignition System (AWEIS). The Match Lit system is simple, requires no electricity, and can be lit with a standard lighter, while the AWEIS system uses a 24-volt AC transformer and includes a fire module, heat shield, and installation instructions — meaning an electrical connection is required for the electronic version. A battery-operated electronic ignition option is also available from some retailers for outdoor spaces that cannot run electrical wiring.

The fire pit enclosure carries a 10-year warranty for the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, and the HPC stainless steel Penta burner comes with its own separate lifetime warranty. Warranty service requires proof of purchase (a sales receipt), and any returns must be sent back via prepaid freight in the original retail packaging. Normal wear, weathering, and commercial use are not covered under the warranty.

The Asia 36-Inch is built from 1/4-inch thick mild carbon steel with an applied iron oxide patina finish on the exterior and a high-temperature resistant coating on the interior, making it maintenance-free even in cold or harsh environments. The iron oxide finish naturally matures and deepens in color over time with each use and weather exposure — this is an intentional, living finish. One key care note: you should never cover it with a tarp, as this can blacken the patina and transfer tarp color onto the steel.
