Frequently Asked Questions
Free Fire Feature Selector FAQs
Wood-burning or gas — which is better?
Wood-burning has a classic campfire feel and lower upfront cost; gas is push-button convenient with no smoke or ash, but typically costs more due to the gas line work.
Do fire features need a permit?
Yes — anything with a chimney or a gas line requires a permit in Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, and Alexandria. We handle the paperwork as part of the build.
What's the difference between a fire pit and a fireplace?
A fire pit is a standalone feature, usually the centerpiece of a seating area; an outdoor fireplace is a larger, often walled structure that typically anchors an entire outdoor living space.
Can I add a cooking grate to a gas fire pit?
Yes — a cooking grate is a popular add-on for gas fire pits if you want simple outdoor cooking without building a full outdoor kitchen.
