Some days you feel like sitting around a fire, and others you just want some extra warmth of a patio heater while you’re spending time outside. Rather than buying one of each and taking up precious patio space, TIKI Brand has a new modular product that can be both.
TIKI Customizable Propane Fire Pit
With how well the TIKI wood fire pit was designed, it’s no wonder they we able to innovate a propane fire pit. It’s a modular design, so you can keep it a basic (but nice) fire pit, build it out into more of a center piece, or transform it into a great looking patio heater.
Features and Specs
- Retail price of $499 (check price)
- Includes a built-in propane gauge, so you don’t have any disruptions to your planned fire
- Produces 40,000 BTUs of heat for 7 hours off a standard 20 lb propane tank

Propane Table Attachment
With a retail price of $199 (check price), the Propane Table Attachment your fire pit becomes a fire table. It’s 28.5” wide, which provides some space for entertaining, or just a place to set your drink. It adds more permanence to the fire pit, so it’s more of a centerpiece to the patio.
Propane Glass Surround Attachment
If you want to give your propane fire pit more of a luxury look, while added a level of safety and convenience, you’ll want the Propane Glass Surround Attachment. Retailing for $179 (check price), the glass can be used alone with the fire pit, or in conjunction with the table attachment.
On top of looking really good, it adds a transparent barrier between you and the fire. That’s not a bad thing when you’re knocking back glasses of wine, especially when glasses turn into bottles of wine. It also acts as a wind guard to keep the flame going how you want.
Propane Heater Attachment
Sometimes you just want some extra heat outside, but you aren’t going to sit around a fire. That’s when propane patio heaters are especially helpful. What’s nice about the TIKI Propane Heater Attachment though is it adds the utility of a patio heater, without taking away the ambiance of a fire. It has a glass tube in the middle that the fire flows through, so you can still watch the fire and get heat projected outward. No more ugly metal propane patio heaters.
The Propane Heater Attachment retails for $299 (check price), and provides a heat radius of six feet. What’s nice is it attached to the fire pit without any tools. Also, in true modular fashion, it can work with the other fire pit accessories.
Conclusion
The new TIKI Brand Customizable Propane Fire Pit is such a great idea. It looks great, and lets you optimize your outdoor space. The only downside is it’s like the story If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, it would take serious willpower to not buy all of the accessories with the fire pit. That’s the challenge of good product offerings.
