Ciays Propane Fire Pit Table
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Cuisinart COH-800 is a compact stainless-steel wood-burning fire pit featuring Cleanburn smokeless technology, a removable ash tray, and a lightweight 22-lb design. Its limited fuel capacity and requirement for a non-flammable surface restrict larger gatherings. Perfect for balconies or small patios where low smoke and portability are priorities.
The Ciays CIFPT21B-32 is a compact 32-inch square propane fire pit table delivering a powerful 50,000 BTU heat output. It lacks a wind guard and does not include a propane tank, and its dimension listings are inconsistent. Ideal for homeowners seeking a portable, dual-purpose fire pit/table for small-to-medium outdoor gatherings.
