Have you thought about investing in a fire table? Are you a bit unsure and wondering whether a fire table will be worth the money. In this blog we will explain why a fire table is worth the investment.
What is a Fire Table?
A fire table is a multifunctional outdoor garden feature. It is a combination of a fire pit and flame produced from gas or propane and has a surface for cooking with griddles and grills.
At Alfresco Fire Tables we specialise in manufacturing quality and luxury fire tables.
Reasons Why a Fire Table is Worth the Investment
Here are some main reasons why a fire table is a fantastic purchase to make:
- Atmosphere and Ambience – A fire provides a different feeling when it comes to being a light source. A fire table provides an entertainment vibe as you can cook food while everyone gathers around. It makes your outdoor area feel more comforting and inviting. When the evenings start to get chilly the fire from the fire table gives out plenty of warmth.
- Entertainment – If you enjoy hosting and having your friends and family around for barbecues and drinks, a fire table makes an excellent choice. A fire table encourages conversation, and you can cook with your family and friends while chatting.
- Outdoor Cooking Convenience – Rather than having a separate grill and separate seating table, you can have all this combined with a fire table. This reduces the space needed for your entertainment features. You can cook directly on the fire table or have a removable grill attachment.
- Heating and Warmth – A fire table is great for providing warmth, this is especially useful during the colder months. A bit of heat makes a difference even if you’re just wanting to sit outside and have a drink. At Alfresco Fire Tables, our fire tables are designed for better insulation, airflow and fuel efficiency so the flame lasts well.

- Year-Round Use – You can use your fire table all year round, using a protective cover when not in use to keep it in top condition.
- Value and Looks – A well designed fire table can elevate the look of your garden and outdoor area. It could also help with the resale value of your home. At Alfresco Fire Tables we provide luxury fire tables that look elegant.
Be Mindful of the Following When it Comes to Fire Tables
Here are some things to consider with your fire table:
- Space – You need to make sure that you have enough outdoor space to place your fire table. The surface needs to be safe, so don’t place your fire table too close to your walls or any overhanging baskets, and the structure should be stable.
- Safety – You need to make sure you use your fire table in a safe manner. If you have children or pets, think about safety barriers so they don’t get too close to the hot flames. Wind protection, proper materials and safe distances all need to be taken into consideration.
- Weather – Outdoor furniture including fire tables go through a lot of environmental conditions, as they are constantly outdoors. This includes weather conditions such as rain, wind, snow and UV rays. If your fire table isn’t built with weather resistant materials it could degrade quicker. We recommend investing in a cover to protect your fire table to ensure it has a long lifespan. At Alfresco Fire Tables you can purchase a cover with your luxury fire table.

- Maintenance – You need to ensure you clean your fire table after cooking, removing ash, soot and checking gas connections.
Comparing Fire Tables with Cheaper Alternatives
Let’s look at the differences between a fire table and cheaper alternatives.
| Alternative | Pros | Cons vs Fire Table |
| Traditional barbecue/grill + patio table | Usually cheaper, more specialised cooking, BBQ Flavour | Separate pieces, more space, less warmth, different overall experience |
| Firepit only | Great for warmth and ambience, simpler design | You can’t cook or the cooking is less convenient, less flat work surfaces and often more smoke |
| Outdoor heater + separate cooking setup | Might be cheaper | More moving parts, less aesthetic appeal, more things to store and maintain, less of an experience |
