Give Everyone a Reason to Stay Outside a Little Longer
A fire has a way of being the place where everyone gathers.

More Than a Fire Pit. A Place to Gather.
Some of the best evenings outside aren't planned. Dinner is over, nobody is quite ready to go inside, and everyone ends up sitting around the fire.
That's what makes a fire feature different from almost anything else you can add to an outdoor space.
It creates a natural gathering place.
At Smucker Patio Living, we can help you find the right fire feature for your patio—from freestanding fire tables and fire features to the burner components for a custom built-in fire pit.
Which Type of Fire Feature Is Right for You?
You don't have to know exactly what you need before you visit. Start with how you want to use the space.
Built-In Fire Pits
Planning a new patio or incorporating a fire pit into a larger outdoor living project?
A built-in fire pit creates a permanent gathering area that can be designed around your patio, seating, and surroundings. Your contractor or mason builds the structure, and Smucker Patio Living can provide and install the burner and fire components that bring the fire pit to life.
If you still need someone for the masonry portion of the project, we're happy to point you toward a local professional we trust.
Best for: New patios, custom outdoor living projects, lake homes, and homeowners who want the fire pit to feel like part of the space rather than something added later.
Fire Tables
Want the fire without building a permanent structure?
A fire table combines the warmth and atmosphere of a fire feature with a piece that fits naturally into an outdoor seating area. Depending on the design, it can become a coffee-table-style centerpiece, a larger conversation table, or even a place to pull up a chair.
Best for: Existing patios, conversation areas, flexible outdoor spaces, and homeowners who want a finished fire feature without building a masonry fire pit.
Freestanding Fire Features
Sometimes you want the fire to make more of a statement.
Fire bowls, fire urns, and other freestanding designs give you another way to add fire to an outdoor space without committing to a traditional built-in fire pit.
Best for: Patios that need a focal point, smaller gathering spaces, and homeowners looking for something a little different from a traditional fire pit.
Outdoor Fire Features Made for the Space Around Them
Smucker Patio Living carries outdoor fire features from American Fyre Designs by R.H. Peterson, with options ranging from fire tables and fire bowls to more distinctive freestanding designs.
Rather than choosing from a picture online and hoping it works when it arrives, come see your options in person. We can help you think through the size of your space, your seating arrangement, the look you want, and how the fire feature will actually be used.
Don't Choose the Fire Without Thinking About the Furniture
A fire feature rarely sits by itself.
Where people will sit, how close they'll be to the fire, how many people you want to accommodate, and how everyone will move around the space should all influence what you choose.
That's one of the advantages of shopping for a fire feature at Smucker Patio Living.
We can help you think about the whole gathering area—not just the fire in the middle of it.
Already have your furniture? Bring us a photo or measurements of your space.
Starting from scratch? Explore our patio furniture while you're here and build the seating area around the fire feature you love.
Planning a Custom Built-In Fire Pit?
You don't have to figure out the fire components on your own.
If your builder, landscaper, or mason is creating the structure for a built-in fire pit, Smucker Patio Living can help with the burner and fire components that go inside it.
1. Tell Us What You're Planning
Bring your plans, measurements, photos, or ideas to the showroom so we can understand the project.
2. We'll Help You Choose the Fire Components
We'll help determine what makes sense for the size, design, and intended use of the fire pit.
3. Your Mason Builds the Structure
Your contractor or mason handles the masonry portion of the project. Need someone? We can point you toward a local professional we trust.
4. We Bring the Fire Pit to Life
Once the structure is ready, Smucker installs the appropriate fire components so you can start enjoying the finished space.
More Than a Place to Buy a Fire Pit
Choosing the right fire feature isn't just about finding a style you like. It needs to fit your space, work with your seating, and make sense for the way you actually plan to use it.
That's where having someone local to help makes a difference.
At Smucker Patio Living, we know outdoor living. We can help you compare your options, think through how everything will work together, and choose a fire feature that's right for your space—not simply what's easiest to sell.
And if you're planning a built-in fire pit, we can help with the burner and fire components and work within the plans for your larger outdoor project.
It's the same straightforward, knowledgeable approach we've built our family business around for decades.
Fire Pit & Fire Table FAQs
-
A traditional fire pit is generally designed primarily around the fire and the seating surrounding it. A fire table raises the fire feature into a table-style design and can work especially well as the centerpiece of an outdoor conversation area. The best choice depends on your space, seating, and how you plan to use it.
