Yes, you can leave a propane fire pit outside in the winter, but the propane tank should be disconnected and stored separately, and the fire pit itself should be covered with a weather-resistant cover to protect the burner components and finish.

A propane fire pit's metal frame and burner assembly can handle cold temperatures, but winter conditions create specific risks worth managing. Moisture that freezes inside the burner pan or control panel can damage ignition components over time. On KHOLH fire pit tables, the stainless steel dual-tube burner and CSA-certified ignition system are built to resist corrosion, but a fitted cover prevents ice accumulation and debris from working into the burner assembly during months the fire pit isn't in use.

  • Propane tanks should not be stored indoors — keep them outside in a well-ventilated area, disconnected from the fire pit.
  • KHOLH fire pit tables use a stainless steel burner and control panel, which resist rust better than carbon steel components in winter humidity.
  • PE wicker on KHOLH fire pit table sets is UV-resistant and water-resistant, but heavy snow or ice accumulation can stress the weave over time.
  • A weather-resistant furniture cover is the single most effective protection for a propane fire pit left outside during winter months.
  • KHOLH fire pit tables output 60,000 BTU through a CSA-certified ignition system — cold-weather storage with the tank removed preserves ignition reliability season to season.

Safety Notes

  • Never store propane indoors: Disconnect the tank from the KHOLH fire pit table and keep it outside in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from heat sources.
  • Shut off the gas valve completely: Before winter storage, confirm the burner control knob and the tank valve are both fully closed to prevent slow gas bleed into the burner assembly.
  • Inspect the regulator and hose before spring use: Winter temperature swings can crack rubber hose connections — check for brittleness, cracks, or loose fittings before reconnecting the tank.
  • Clear ice from the burner pan before lighting: If moisture has accumulated inside the pan, ice melt or condensation near the dual-tube burner can cause uneven flame or ignition failure on first use.
