Best Canyon Ridge Gas Fire Table: Two Listings That Match the Type

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

A canyon ridge gas fire table is a propane fire unit built into a table form. This guide covers the propane fire tables in this listing set. The set does not contain a Canyon Ridge listing, so no pick below is confirmed as that brand. Instead, the guide compares the two fire tables that match the type and states which details the listings leave out. Read the output, weight, tank and clearance lines before you compare looks. The two picks differ in size, output and finish, and the right one depends on the patio you have and how much heat you want.

Quick answer

Choose the larger square table if output and a wide heated area matter more than footprint. Choose the narrow rectangular table if your patio is tight or the fire needs to sit beside a bench, and accept a lower listed output. The set has no Canyon Ridge listing, so check the brand on the product page you buy. Both picks use a standard 20-pound propane tank that is not included. Neither listing states a clearance distance, so follow the manual and local fire rules before you place either table.

What the keyword asks for

The keyword names a brand and a product type. The type is a gas fire table: a propane unit with a fire bowl set into a table frame, often with a lid. The brand is not present in the listings. Match the type first, and then confirm the brand on the product page.

Output and coverage

The larger table lists 50,000 BTU and says it warms a space from 8 to 10 feet wide. The narrow table lists 40,000 BTU per hour and does not state a coverage area. Compare the outputs as listed, not as a measure of how warm a patio will feel. The listings do not give a temperature, so do not plan around one.

Weight and stability

The two listings give conflicting weights. The larger table’s item weight field says 38.4 pounds, while a bullet says 28.2 lbs. The narrow table’s weight field says 16 pounds, while a bullet says 17 pounds. Neither conflict can be resolved from the listing, so do not plan a move or a deck load around either figure. Check the product page before you plan any lifting.

Fuel, tank and smoke

Both tables burn propane, which the Wikipedia entry describes as a three-carbon alkane that becomes liquid under pressure and is a constituent of liquefied petroleum gas. Both listings say the tank is not included and that a standard 20-pound tank is used. The larger table’s listing says it is compatible with 20 lb tanks. The narrow table’s listing says to supply a standard 20lb propane tank and to connect with the hose it includes. Both listings describe the flame as smokeless. The larger table’s listing also says wood burning generates smoke, sparks and ash, so the claim is about the propane design, not a claim that no fire produces smoke.

Finish and build

The larger table’s finish field says powder coated. Powder coating is a dry-powder finish that is cured under heat or ultraviolet light and is usually applied to metal. The narrow table’s finish field says brushed, and its burner is listed as stainless steel. Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy with at least 10.5 percent chromium, which gives it resistance to rust and corrosion.

How to choose

Choose by the patio and the heat you need first, then check the numbers.

• Choose the larger table if you want the highest listed output and have room for a 28 inch square base.
• Choose the narrow table if the patio is tight, if you want a slim footprint beside seating, or if you prefer a lower output.
• Choose either one only with a tank plan. Neither listing includes the tank, and both need a standard 20-pound tank.
• Skip both if you need a stated clearance distance or coverage area on the listing. Neither gives one.

The picks

Best for the highest listed output

This pick is a 28 inch square propane fire table with a removable lid, lava rocks and a powder-coated finish. The listing gives 28 inches for depth and width and 25 inches for height, and it states 50,000 BTU. It says the lid comes off so the table can serve as a dining or coffee table, and the pulse ignition is pressed and turned, then held for 5 seconds. The listing says the tank fits underneath, out of sight, although it does not give the tank’s dimensions. The item weight field reads 38.4 pounds while a bullet reads 28.2 lbs, so the weight is uncertain. Choose it for a larger patio where output and a wide heated area matter most. Skip it if you need a lighter table or a stated clearance distance.

Best for a narrow rectangular table

This pick is a rectangular table with an 8.5 inch depth and a 28 inch width, and it stands 5.75 inches high. The listing gives a total output of 40,000 BTU per hour, a stainless steel burner, decorative fire glass beads and a 10 foot connecting hose. Its listing says the fully adjustable safety shutoff valve is included and that you can set it up with no extra installation tools. The item weight field reads 16 pounds while a bullet reads 17 pounds, and the listing does not reconcile them. It also does not state a coverage area. Choose it for a tight patio, a side table or a space where a slim footprint matters more than output. Skip it if you need the highest listed output.

Other fire products in this set

A round insert in this set fits under a table with an umbrella hole. It is a fire bowl for a table you already own, not a fire table, so this guide does not pick it. Its listing also gives two BTU figures in its headline and bullets, 23,000 and 40,000, and that conflict is one more reason to check the product page closely before buying an insert of this kind.

Suppose you light the table three evenings a week, for about two hours each time. Step 1: 3 evenings times 2 hours = 6 hours a week. Step 2: 6 hours times 4 weeks = 24 hours a month.

The listings do not state how long a 20-pound tank lasts at a given setting, so use the manual to convert those hours into tank use.

Check: 3 times 2 is 6. 6 times 4 is 24.

Worked example: output and weight gaps

The larger table’s 50,000 BTU and the narrow table’s 40,000 BTU differ by 10,000 BTU (50,000 minus 40,000). The larger table’s 38.4 pound item weight and its 28.2 lb bullet figure differ by 10.2 pounds (38.4 minus 28.2).

Mistakes to avoid

• Expecting a Canyon Ridge listing in this set. The set does not include one.
• Treating BTU as a coverage area. The larger table states a coverage range of 8 to 10 feet, and the narrow table does not.
• Forgetting the tank. Neither listing includes it.
• Assuming a smokeless claim means no smoke. The listing itself says wood burning generates smoke.
• Using a propane table indoors or in an enclosed porch. Use the table outdoors only.

FAQ

Is there a Canyon Ridge gas fire table in this set?

No. The set has two propane fire tables that match the type, and neither listing names Canyon Ridge. Check the brand on the product page before you buy.

Does the table come with a propane tank?

No. Both listings say the tank is not included. The larger table’s listing says it is compatible with 20 lb tanks, and the narrow table’s listing says to supply a standard 20lb tank.

Can I use a gas fire table on a wooden deck?

The listings do not state a deck clearance. Follow the manual and local fire rules for the surface, because a fire pit is designed to contain fire and keep it from spreading, and the listing does not describe a heat shield for decking.

How much heat does the larger table put out?

The listing states 50,000 BTU and says it warms a space from 8 to 10 feet wide. It does not give a temperature, so the heat you feel depends on wind, seating distance and the patio itself.

Which table is easier to move?

Neither listing gives a reliable weight. Both have conflicting weight figures. Check the product page before you plan any lifting or placement.

Can I use either table indoors?

No. Fuel-burning outdoor appliances are a carbon monoxide hazard indoors. The CPSC warns that outdoor heaters, grills or generators used indoors can cause deadly carbon monoxide buildup in minutes.

Bottom line

Choose the larger square table if output and a wide heated area matter most and you have room for it. Choose the narrow rectangular table if the patio is tight or the footprint must stay slim. Before you buy either, confirm the brand, the weight figure, the tank you will use and the clearance guidance in the manual.
