1. PyroMania standard fire pits are preassembled and ready to ship; while the "made-to-order" fire pits are assembled in California and lead time is about 2 weeks.
2. "Made-to-order" fire pits have a higher heat output (65,000-100,000 BTU) than the standard models (50,000 BTU).
3. "Made-to-order" models use commercial grade materials which are heavier duty and therefore more durable.
4. "Made-to-order" fire pits are installed with a standing pilot which can relight the fire pit if the flame is blown out. It is a better choice for windy locations. While our standard models have the auto shutoff feature but cannot automatically relight when the flame is out, which is also available for made to order fire pits.
5. "Made-to-order" models offer 3 burner system options and thruster burner ring. While standard models are preassembled with a flame sense spark ignition so no change can be made for its burner.
6. Standard fire pits are CSA certified while due to the custom-built nature of our made-to-order fire pits, CSA certification does not apply to the complete unit. However, these models incorporate CSA-certified or equivalent components engineered for safety and performance.

Yes, PyroMania fire tables have a heat shield incorporated underneath the burner pan and can be placed on a wood or synthetic deck. Legs are recommended to create more room for ventilation.

All PyroMania firepits are made from GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) which has a better ability to expand and contract than traditional concrete and much less likely to suffer from structural cracks. GFRC is considered a gold standard material for extreme weather which makes it the ideal material for outdoor fire features.

PyroMania Pro is designed for both residential and commercial settings, featuring commercial-grade materials and high-operformance burner systems which offer the most intelligent control options on the market.

No, the PyroMania series are pre-installed with a flame sense ignition. You need to order a PyroMania Pro model with an APPE ignition in order to have those features.

A 20lbs portable propane tank can only vaporize at a limited rate under ideal conditions. When a fire pit demands more gas than a 20lbs tank can supply, several problems may occur: flame inconsistency and sputtering; tank freezing (regulator freeze-up); increased regulator stress. If the fire pit is set at 100,000 BTU and connected to a portable propane tank, suggest adjusting the flame height when needed to avoid the problems mentioned above, especially during winter. Flame height control comes with our fire pits with a match lit ignition or a flame sense spark ignition. It is an optional feature for APPE ignition. To get a bigger flame with a 65000 BTU firepit, you can choose our thruster burner ring which will generate about twice the size of flame as the standard burner ring.
