Comparison: Best Rattan With Fire Pit (Updated | Nov 8th)

Focus on the BTU rating, size of the tabletop, and the durability of the wicker and frame. A CSA‑certified ignition system ensures safety, while a weather‑resistant wicker and rust‑proof steel frame protect the unit from rain and sun. Also consider whether the model includes accessories like a wind guard, lid, or cover for year‑round use.

Higher BTU ratings, such as 60,000 BTU, generate more heat and are ideal for larger patios or colder evenings. Models rated at 50,000 BTU provide ample warmth for medium‑sized gatherings, while 40,000‑50,000 BTU units work well for intimate settings. Choose a rating that matches the size of your outdoor area and the typical weather conditions in your region.

The 44‑inch KHOLH models deliver 60,000 BTU, a large tabletop, and a full accessory set (lid, wind guard, waterproof cover) at a competitive price, making them a solid value for groups. Their dual‑tube burner provides stable combustion, and the spacious surface holds drinks and food for multiple guests. Compared to smaller 28‑30 inch options, they give more heat and table space for a modest price increase.

The 44‑inch tables feature a rectangular shape, larger surface area, and often include a metal lid that doubles as a coffee table, while the 30‑inch models are typically round or square with a more compact footprint. Both sizes use weather‑resistant wicker and stainless‑steel burners, but the larger units usually have a higher BTU output (up to 60,000 BTU) versus 50,000 BTU for the smaller ones. If space permits, the bigger tables provide more heat and serving area, whereas the 30‑inch options are easier to fit into tighter patios.

A wind guard helps protect the flame from breezes, ensuring consistent heat and reducing flare‑ups, which is especially important in open‑air settings. Most of the listed models, such as the KHOLH and OutVue fire pits, include a wind guard as a standard accessory. If a model does not list it, you may need to purchase one separately to maintain safe and efficient operation.

All products use weather‑resistant wicker over a stainless‑steel or iron frame, but some, like the WAROOM and OutVue models, specifically mention rust‑proof paint and 304 stainless‑steel burners for added longevity. The KHOLH units highlight a sturdy iron frame with a protective cover, while the Propane Outdoor Fire Pit tables emphasize a heat‑resistant glass tabletop for easier cleaning. Choose a model with the most robust finish if you expect frequent exposure to rain or harsh sunlight.

Most listings note clear instructions and include all necessary hardware, making assembly straightforward with two people. The KHOLH and OutVue models specifically mention quick‑start ignition and easy‑to‑follow manuals, while the WAROOM unit also provides a waterproof cover and all tools needed. Expect the larger 44‑inch tables to take slightly longer due to their size, but overall the process is designed for DIY setup.

Look for CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification, which appears on all the fire pits in this list and confirms compliance with safety and performance standards. Some listings also mention UL or other regional approvals; however, CSA is the most common indicator of a safe propane fire pit. Verifying this certification helps ensure the unit has undergone rigorous testing for gas leakage, flame control, and overall durability.
