can I use this fire pit on my glass and wood patio table? would it help if I put a kevlar pad underneath the pit?

I have used it on a glass table. I don't know about wood. Just keep an eye on it. It works fine on my table and doesn't seem to get hot.

My deck is made out of recycled plastic, I think trex is the brand name. Anyhow it works just fine. The only surprise is that you get a great camp fire but you eat up a lot of propane fast. I luv mine but only use it on special occastions

Hi. It says to not set on a combustible surface. There is about a 5 inch gap between the bottom of the pit and the ground. I don't think it gets very hot underneath but I would probably put something on top of your table just to be safe.

As long as it doesn't get knocked over, there is no need for any kind of pad.

I wouldn't want to say yes, but I will say that we have ours on a wood deck and it has caused no discoloration or problems. It really is no more than a propane gas grill.

It's a wood burning firepit. Use your better judgement. I personally would not use under covered patio.

the area under the table gets hot.i have it on a stone patio. perhaps you could place a flagstone or pavers underneath to protect a deck.inquires to the company might be a good idea.

Being unfamiliar with the Volcano grill, I looked it up. I use this pad with a Weber kettle grill that is 15"-18" above the pad. It protects the wood deck I have it on. The Volcano seems much lower to the ground and I would worry about the heat if you had the pad on a wood surface. You wouldn't need it on dirt. Perhaps it would be useful on concrete, brick or stone, but I don't think it would be "ideal"

NO! heat radiating from fire pit could start the wood deck on fire unless you used a fire proof insulated layer between fire pit and wood surface. I would not. I use mine on a concrete patio

The decision and risk are yours, but I can provide some useful info. The inside obviously gets flaming hot. The rim and legs, i.e., the parts that would touch you deck, are not too hot. The pit's pan has a solid bottom, so no coals will fall through. If it was my deck, my primary concern would be sparks popping out. But this fire pit comes with a screened lid heavy enough to stay in place. The only remaining spark risk is when you remove that lid to roast marshmallows or to add more wood. I suppose you could get some sparks or even small coals through the pan's wider-meshed sides if you build up the coals too much or fail to clean out the ashes between uses.

I think it is high enough off the deck to be fine. I have mine on a stone patio, but it does not seem to get too hot. I like the compact size of this fire pit. I did not want a large one.

There is no ventilation so heat does build up inside.You would want to add some serious insulation inside the pit, beneath the fire pan. Maybe a layer or two of bricks and some reflective foil on top. Otherwise the heat will - at minimum - cook/color the deck, if not set actually it on fire.

Not sure any fire would be good under a rood. if the deck is open with plenty of ventilation, I suppose...but i would think the roof would trap a lot of the smoke....It's a compact fire pit, but depending on what you are burning..the fire is a good size 'camp fire'.

I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as the size is suitable to go under the fire pit table. It should probably stick out a few inches all around so that it will catch sparks, etc. But, are you sure you want to put a fire pit on your deck......especially if it's a wood deck?

No, not unless you have some type of heat shield that you can put under the fire pit. The pit gets very hot and will damage the wood under it.

The mat works well to prevent drips and the small amount of sparks from a Weber or similar BBQ, but I wouldn't trust it to work on a fire pit that is much closer to the deck surface.

The fire pit has a vent on the bottom, and although there is a cover you can rotate to shut the vents, it could be a problem. I have mine on a paver patio.

I am familiar with using fire glass with gas fireplaces (to obscure/hide the gas lines). So in this case, it is a bit different because this fire pit is wood burning. Technically, you could use fire glass with this product, but you would need to have the appropriate burner if you are just using fire glass. If you combine fire glass and logs, you'll have an interesting project to separate the glass from the ash after your fire has died out and the glass has cooled. There are no drainage holes in this fire pit--so if you plan to install a gas burner, you'll need to accommodate for that in your construction plans.

I think so....ours got a little hole in it from some ashes - so try to keep it far from the firepit when having a fire - otherwise, this is a very durable product!

I would not sipmly due to the heat from the fire pit. It works well and looks nice. I would use extreme caution on a wood deck.
