Rain Problems

Rain and other moisture buildup may interfere with the gas burners by preventing proper lighting or causing pops and crackling. Excess moisture may cause rust and eventual failure of the gas system.

Moisture Prevention

Cover the fire pit when not in use. Choose a fire pit designed specifically for outdoor wear and tear. Select a fire pit with stainless steel parts to avoid rust problems.
