With the Fall weather on us, I wanted a way to invite friends and family over for outdoor visiting while staying warm. While we have a ceramic fire pit, the fire is only visible on one side and can be smoky, so a gas fire table seemed to be a great idea. The cost was $189 from Amazon. It arrived in good shape within 5 days.
Price update as of December 2020 is $229.99
Here is the Amazon link:
BALI OUTDOORS Gas Fire Pit Table
www.amazon.com...
The assembly was a bit interesting. The instructions are ok but not great. It is most easily assembled on a carpeted floor with good lighting. It would be helpful to have 2 sets of hands but not essential. It took me about 2 hours to assemble while watching a football game. Attaching the propane starter assembly was a bit confusing. There are 2 wires to connect, one was obvious the second wire was a mystery for a good 10 minutes. There was a rubber protective cover hiding the location of the second connection point.
The biggest 2 tips:
1) make sure the screws are perpendicular (straight) to the surface and easily start to thread. Crooked screws will cross thread.
2) Leave the screws a little loose until the entire unit is put together. Doing so will give you the flexibility to get all the parts to fit in place. Once the unit is assembled, tighten the rest of the screws.
Safety tip: Use soapy water to test your gas fittings for leaks before use. This is propane and it is extremely combustible, use all the safety precautions you would use with your own gas grill.

I just bought one of these a d was having trouble at first, but. I figured it out! You have to push the button ‘In’ as you are lighting it to work. Easy fix.

Hi Thanks for watching! I'm glad it is working for you. Thanks for the comment as well. You are correct, that pushing the button in is a part of the standard starting procedure and it works for me about 25% of the time. This type of igniter can be finicky. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Enjoy your new fire table!!

I got the same one on sale 50% off, the ignitor did not work the first few times I tied it, I did has you did, but then out of the blue it started working and has worked fine since. So, if you do buy one don't give up on the ignitor if when you first try it doesn't work.

Hi Saw the video, product looks great, so I bought a similar one, the igniter knob issue, I found if you push it in and turn it to the point just before it snaps and hold for a few seconds for the gas to get going through, when you snap it, it works just fine

If you have too many glass beads around igniter box, it can restrict the air flow and cause the igniter not to work sometimes.
@mi-tinker
@mi-tinker 2 года назад
Hi Keith, Thanks for your suggestion. I've tried a number of ways to help with ignition, including fewer beads around the box. The lighter is still my choice for getting it started.

The glass beads came with my unit. They are also available on Amazon. I have not had flames in the Ignition box but certainly around it. Some users suggest not putting glass beads near the box while lighting. Hope this helps.

@mi-tinker
@mi-tinker 2 года назад
Hi George, I have not tracked the hours. A huge factor in run time will depend on how high you set the flame. I'm guessing on my unit that a full tank lasted between 8-12 hours a medium setting.

4hrs on high, 6hrs on medium and 8hrs and low… That’s base on a 20 pound tank at 50,000 BTU… The actual math comes out to 8hrs and 16 minutes of burning at the lowest setting… It’s impossible to get more than that…

Just the same one. The unit won't stay lit even after troubleshooting.
@mi-tinker
@mi-tinker 2 года назад
I found we sometimes have to turn the knob on only halfway to the ignite stage (only letting a very small amount of gas through) and use a long neck lighter anywhere on the inside of the ring where the gas holes are to light it then slowly turn the knob to higher settings otherwise the unit puts itself out. Just had to do this tonight. Took 10 times to get it to stay lit. Hope this helps.

@mi-tinker
@mi-tinker 3 года назад
Hi Jeff, no heat shield needed for the wood deck. The heat stays at the top of the table in the burner pan... Much like a gas grill. The bottom of the unit seems well separated from any heat.

Hi Kim, did you get it to light? One thing I just learned myself, is that you need to turn the propane on slowly. The regulator may shut off any propane if it senses an overload of gas -Lynne/Mi-Tinker
