Propane Fire Pits Compared: 2 Listings
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details
The keyword asks for a rectangular propane fire pit with the tank inside. Neither propane listing in this set is rectangular, and neither states that the tank sits inside the pit. The set also holds a wood-burning smokeless pit, which uses a different fuel, so it is not compared here. This post covers the two propane fire pits and reports what each listing does and does not say.
Each card keeps the figures from its own listing. Where a listing gives two values for one measurement, both values are shown.
Quick answer
Both listings are round, both are liquefied petroleum gas pits, and both state 58,000 BTU. The main differences are the tank arrangement and the folding design. The Outland Living pit comes with a cover, a carry kit and a pre-attached 10 foot hose that keeps a 20 pound tank out of sight, although the tank itself is not included. The Ciays pit names a propane tank holder in its title and has folding legs with a stated folded size of 19 by 8 inches. Neither listing matches the rectangular shape in the keyword, so the title in this post names the product type and the count.
Comparison table
| Listing | Shape | Fuel | Size (listed) | Tank arrangement | Heat output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outland Living 19-inch (B00KY4S388) | Round | Liquefied petroleum gas | 19 in deep, 19 in wide, 11 in high | Tank not included; hose keeps a 20 lb tank out of sight | 58,000 BTU in the title |
| Ciays 19-inch (B0D5QG87V2) | Round | Liquefied petroleum gas | 19.49 in deep, 16.93 in wide, 9.45 in high; folds to 19 by 8 in | Propane tank holder named in the title | 58,000 BTU in the title and a bullet |
1. Outland Living Portable Propane Fire Pit, 19-inch
Listing data checked 2026-10-11. Brand Outland Living, model 893, black, polished finish, round shape, item weight 23 pounds, dimensions 19 inches deep, 19 inches wide and 11 inches high.
- Material: alloy steel and stainless steel
- Fuel: liquefied petroleum gas, with the listing’s style given as propane gas fire pit
- Included: a 4.4 pound natural lava rock set, a cover and carry kit, and the firebowl, which the listing says needs no assembly
- Hose: a pre-attached 10 foot hose, which the bullets say keeps a standard 20 pound propane tank (not included) out of sight
- Regulator: fully adjustable, with a chrome valve knob
- Warranty: one year limited manufacturer warranty
The bullets describe a smokeless gas flame, a set-up time of minutes with no tools, and a CSA approved design that the listing says can be used during most campfire bans, with a note to check local restrictions. The bullets also describe a stainless steel burner and fasteners.
Conflict to check: the title gives 58,000 BTU, and the bullets do not repeat the figure. The tank is not included, so a cylinder must be bought separately, and the bullets name only a standard 20 pound cylinder.
Best for: buyers who want a cover and carry kit with a hose that hides the tank, and who will buy the tank separately.
Skip if: you need the tank to sit inside the pit, because the listing describes a hose arrangement instead.

2. Ciays Large Propane Fire Pit, 19-inch
Listing data checked 2026-10-11. Brand Ciays, model CIFP02B-19-US, black, painted finish, round shape, metal material, item weight 23 pounds, dimensions 19.49 inches deep, 16.93 inches wide and 9.45 inches high.
- Fuel: liquefied petroleum gas
- Tank: a propane tank holder named in the title
- Grate: a rust-proof cast iron grate, described in a bullet
- Folding: folding legs with a folded size of 19 by 8 inches, per a bullet
- Hose: a pre-assembled 10 foot gas hose, per a bullet
- Ignition: piezo ignition that needs no batteries or external power
- Safety: a flame-out protection feature that shuts off the gas when the flame goes out, per a bullet
The bullets say the pit can be used during wood campfire bans and give a total heat output of 58,000 BTU. The title also names hose hooks and a carry strap.
Conflict to check: the listing describes a round shape, but the depth and width figures are 19.49 and 16.93 inches, which are not the same. The title says tank holder, but no bullet says where the tank sits. Confirm the tank position and the diameter on the product page.
Best for: buyers who want folding legs, a grate and piezo ignition, and who want a tank holder named in the listing.
Skip if: you need the tank position described in the bullets, because the listing names a holder but does not describe where it sits.

How the two listings were compared
The comparison uses the shape, fuel, size and tank entries of each listing, together with the bullets that describe hose, ignition and safety. Each listing’s figures stay with that listing. Only two listings of this product type exist in the set, so the comparison is narrow and does not rank them against a wider market.
The wood-burning smokeless fire pit in the same set is a different fuel type. Its figures are not used here.
Worked example: heat output per square inch of the listed diameter
Both listings give 58,000 BTU. The Outland listing gives a diameter of 19 inches, so its round top has an area of about 283.5 square inches, since the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. Dividing 58,000 BTU by 283.5 square inches gives about 205 BTU per square inch.
The Ciays listing gives 19.49 inches deep and 16.93 inches wide. If the top is taken as 19 inches across, the figure is the same as the Outland. If the top is taken at the 16.93 inch width, the area is about 225 square inches and the heat per square inch rises to about 258 BTU. The listing does not state which dimension gives the true top, so this example shows the range rather than a single figure.
What the listings do not say
Neither listing says the pit is rectangular, and neither says the tank fits inside the firebowl. Neither gives a flame height, a burn time on a 20 pound tank, or a figure for wind performance.
The listings also do not state a minimum clearance from combustible surfaces or whether either pit may be used on a wooden deck. Those points are not in the listing data and should be checked against the manufacturer’s manual.
Frequently asked questions
Is either propane fire pit rectangular?
No. Both listings give a round shape.
Does either listing put the propane tank inside the pit?
The listings do not say so. The Outland listing describes a hose that keeps the tank out of sight, and the Ciays listing names a propane tank holder without describing where it sits.
Is a propane tank included with either pit?
The Outland listing says the tank is not included. The Ciays listing does not state a tank in its included fields, so confirm this on the product page.
How long is the hose on each pit?
Both listings give a 10 foot hose. The Outland hose is pre-attached, and the Ciays bullet describes a pre-assembled hose.

Conclusion
These two propane fire pits are both round and both state 58,000 BTU. The Outland offers a cover, a carry kit and a hose that keeps a 20 pound tank out of sight, while the Ciays offers folding legs, piezo ignition and a named tank holder. Neither listing supports the rectangular shape or the tank-inside arrangement in the keyword, so confirm the tank position and the dimensions on each product page before ordering.
