How far does a fire pit need to be from your house

The distance between a fire pit and a house depends on several factors:

Height of the Pit: Taller pits require greater distance.
Size of the Fire: Larger fires necessitate more space.
Fuel Type: Wood fires tend to produce more sparks than gas, requiring more distance.
Wind Conditions: Strong winds can carry sparks further.

General Guidelines:

For a small, wood-burning fire pit up to 3 feet in diameter, maintain a distance of at least 15 feet from any structure.
For larger fire pits or during windy conditions, increase the distance to 25 feet or more.
Place the fire pit on a non-combustible surface, such as concrete or gravel.
Keep the fire small and contained, adding fuel gradually.
