I was very nervous working this fire pit table. To my surprise it was very easy to operate. I purchased a 20 pound tank at Home Depot because I wanted my own to refill when needed. Not a fan of the exchange program. Had the tank filled at Corrigan in Brighton, Michigan for $13, not bad!!!. Came home and hooked everything up. Worked like a charm!!!!! Love that you can regulate the height of the flames 🔥!!!!!!! This fire pit table is awesome. I will need to get a glass wind guard at some point for those windy nights. I am very happy with the purchase. I have 3 because I purchased multiple Clarion collections.
