As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
This hykolity 28 Inch Fire Pit Table review covers a square 2-in-1 propane fire table with a listed 50,000 BTU stainless steel burner, a removable lid, a 6.6 lb lava stone, and a CSA-certified burner with auto-shutoff. The review uses the Amazon listing and two public safety sources. It sets out what the listing says, what general outdoor propane guidance requires, and which points remain unconfirmed or conflicting on the page.
Quick answer
- The listing describes a 28 inch square fire table in matte black, with a steel material, a lacquered finish, and a stated weight of 60 pounds.
- The listing states a 50,000 BTU stainless steel burner, a CSA-certified burner with auto-shutoff, a removable lid, height-adjustable feet, and a ring that holds a 20 lb propane tank.
- USFA guidance says fire pits should be kept at least 10 feet from a home and anything that can burn, and that propane equipment is for outdoor use only.
- The listing is unclear on whether a propane tank is included, and the heat output, smokeless claim, and auto-shutoff behavior are not confirmed by the sources used here.
Specifications from the listing
These values are copied from the product page as it was checked on 2026-10-27. They are seller statements and have not been compared with a manufacturer manual or an independent record.
- Brand: hykolity (manufacturer listed as Hykolity)
- Color: Matte black
- Material: steel
- Product dimensions: 28 inches deep, 28 inches wide, and 25 inches high
- Style: classic
- Finish type: lacquered
- Item weight: 60 pounds
- Fuel type: Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Propane, listed with the words “Not included”
- Number of items: 1
The fuel line reads “Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Propane (Not included)”. The feature text says “20 lb propane tanks (not included)”. Both lines suggest the tank is not supplied, but the wording in the fuel field is not clear on its own. The buyer should confirm with the seller before ordering if a tank will be needed.
At 60 pounds, the table is a fixed-position item for most patios. The height-adjustable legs help with uneven decks or grass, but the table should be placed before the tank is connected and before the lava stone is set in place.
Heat output and flame control
The listing says the table has a 50,000 BTU stainless steel burner that delivers strong and even flames. It also says the table is designed for cool-weather gatherings and that it maximizes fuel efficiency. Those statements are seller claims. The heat reach at each flame setting, the flame height range, and the propane use per hour are not stated, and the sources used here do not confirm them.
The listing says the outside knob adjusts the fire level. The buyer should learn the knob’s range on the first use. Start with a low setting and raise it gradually, and follow the manual for the normal flame range.
The listing describes a powerful ignition system that gives a good spark. It also describes an auto-shutoff on the CSA-certified burner. The auto-shutoff is a safety feature that shuts the gas off under certain conditions. The listing does not say which conditions trigger it. The manual should explain the trigger and the reset procedure. If the burner does not light, turn the knob to off, wait for any gas to clear, and check the connection before trying again.
Lid, lava stone, and table use
The listing describes a detachable cover that protects against dust and rain and that turns the fire pit into a table when not in use. It says the 28 inch tabletop has room for drinks, food, and snacks for a party. The cover is described as a lid that is detachable. The lid should only be placed when the burner is off and fully cool. The listing does not give a cool-down time, so the manual should be checked.
The lava stone is listed at 6.6 pounds and is described as sitting in the center of the burner area. The stone should be placed as the instructions show and should not block the burner outlet. Stones that are placed incorrectly can change the flame pattern and the heat, so the layout should be set once and checked after any cleaning.
The listing describes a secure ring that holds the propane tank at the bottom of the table, which keeps the tank in a fixed position. The tank should still be upright, outdoors, and out of direct sun when it is disconnected.
Placement and propane setup
Placement is the main safety factor for a propane fire table. The USFA outdoor fire safety guidance says fire pits should be used outdoors at least 10 feet away from the home or anything that can burn. It also says propane grills should only be used outside because indoor use can cause a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. A propane fire table should follow the same rules, with clear airflow and no use in garages, sheds, tents, or enclosed porches.
The NFPA fact sheet on outdoor heaters says propane heaters need to be used in accordance with their listing and the manufacturer instructions. It also says anything that can burn should be kept at least 3 feet away from heating equipment. The fact sheet is written for patio heaters, not fire tables, so the 3 foot figure is a general guideline here. The manual should be checked for the exact clearance for this model.
Set the table on a level, stable surface that is clear of railings, overhanging branches, and wood structures. Keep chairs, cushions, and planters back from the flame. Check the connection with soapy water before the first use. For more on storing cylinders, see how to store a propane tank safely.
How we chose the sources
The two sources used here are a federal fire safety guide and a national fire code body’s fact sheet on propane heating equipment. Retail pages were used only to read the listing fields. No physical trial of the table was carried out for this review. Each quote was checked against the fetched page text on 2026-10-27.
Who this table fits
Based on the listing, this table suits a buyer who wants a compact square fire table for a patio, deck, or small backyard seating area, and who has room to keep the 10 foot distance from the home. The matte black finish and classic style suit a simple outdoor look. The 28 inch top is listed as a table surface for drinks and snacks, which is useful for small groups. A buyer who needs a larger tabletop should look at other sizes.
Buyers who will move the table often should consider the weight. The listed 60 pounds makes it better suited to a fixed spot. Renters and balcony owners should confirm local rules before using any propane appliance, since many buildings restrict open flames.

What the listing says
The listing makes several statements. It says the table has a 50,000 BTU stainless steel burner that delivers strong and even flames. It describes the table as a 2-in-1 unit with a removable lid for dust and rain protection. It describes a rust-resistant metal frame with a heatproof tabletop, a CSA-certified burner with auto-shutoff, and a 6.6 lb lava stone. It says the feet are height-adjustable and can be set on uneven surfaces. It describes a secure ring at the base for the tank and says the table is compatible with 20 lb propane tanks. It says the ignition is powerful and that an outside knob adjusts the fire level. It says the flame is smokeless and that the burner gives zero smoke. It does not include a full warning block in the text reviewed here.
What we could not verify
The main claims on this listing have not been checked against an independent test or certification record. The 50,000 BTU output, the CSA certification, the auto-shutoff behavior, the smokeless and zero-smoke claims, the rust resistance, and the heatproof tabletop claim are all outside what the sources used here can confirm. The listing’s fuel wording on tank inclusion is unclear. The 6.6 pound lava stone weight is a listing statement that the sources here do not address.
What the sources do not say
The USFA page is a general outdoor fire safety guide. It does not discuss fire tables, burner ratings, auto-shutoff features, or this model. The NFPA fact sheet covers propane patio heaters and does not give a clearance for a fire table with a tank ring. Neither source confirms the heat output, the CSA certification, or the smokeless claim. Neither source addresses the warranty or the expected life of the unit.
FAQ
Is this table for outdoor use only?
The listing describes it as an outdoor fire table. USFA guidance says propane equipment should only be used outside, because indoor use can cause a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Does the listing include a propane tank?
The listing says the table is compatible with 20 lb propane tanks, which are not included. The fuel line also says “Not included”. Confirm with the seller before ordering.
How far should it sit from the house?
USFA advises that fire pits be kept at least 10 feet away from a home and anything that can burn. Confirm any stricter figure in the manufacturer manual.
