Keep in mind that natural gas and liquid propane are sold by the btu s so if you aren t running your firepit off a natural gas line you will pay more for fuel the higher the btu s you have running.
Do gas fire pits keep you warm.
You will be huddled around the flame to stay warm on extra cold nights but you ll still have a nice toasty fire.
At 45 000 btus this rectangular natural gas fire pit can keep plenty of people warm.
The larger the burner of course the more warmth you ll be able to put out.
It comes with lava rocks for added radiant heat and has a great concrete look to it.
To effectively heat your outdoor space radiant heat is your best bet.
The firepit you refer to is beautiful but at only 50 000 btus it will probably not produce enough heat to significantly warm the area around it.
Radiant heat travels as sub visible light in several directions.
The pit itself is 60 by 27 by 17 with a 30 long fire area.
If you are wanting to use your fire pit as a heat source gas fire pits do not give off as much heat as a wood burning fire.
