Whenever users ask us about our gas fire pots, there is always a frequent question, that is, can the gas fire pots be used indoors? Next, I will take you to explore it.
Propane is used in gas fire pots
When you use a gas fire pot, the fuel used is propane, so we must first know what it is. Simply put, propane is a liquefied petroleum gas. When propane burns, it requires sufficient oxygen. If there is insufficient oxygen, carbon monoxide will be produced. As we all know, carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas.
Can propane gas fire pots be used indoors?
If your indoor space is relatively closed and not ventilated, it is recommended not to use propane gas fire pots indoors to avoid the production of dangerous carbon monoxide gas. We mentioned carbon monoxide above, which is toxic and will endanger the lives of you and your family. This is why the relevant departments recommend that we install alarms in our homes.
Of course, this is not absolute. If your indoor space is spacious and well ventilated, you can also use a gas fire pot, but remember not to place debris or flammable items around the fire pot, otherwise once a fire occurs, it will cause loss to your property at the least, and endanger your life at the worst! Therefore, propane gas fire pots are best used outdoors. Even if carbon monoxide is produced, it will be blown away by the wind, at least your personal safety can be guaranteed.
Which gas fire pot is suitable for indoor use?
Since burning propane may produce dangerous gases, you can change to a relatively safe gas. For example, you can consider bioethanol. Let's find out why it is safe.
Bioethanol produces very little carbon monoxide when it burns, that is, it can be ignored. It mainly produces heat. Bioethanol is easy to ignite and is a renewable energy source. From an environmental perspective, it can reduce environmental pollution; it also does not produce smoke, so as not to threaten your health.
When you choose a fire pot, you consider only two points. One is aesthetics. Everyone has their own aesthetics, and you can choose according to your own aesthetics; the second is safety. We have introduced the common fuels for gas fire pits above. As for which gas fire pit to choose, I believe you should have the answer in your mind.
