Starfire Designs Beton 72" Rectangle Concrete LPT Fire Pit

The Beton LPT model features a hidden propane tank storage compartment integrated into the fire pit base, allowing you to conceal a standard 20-lb propane tank with a convenient sliding door for easy access. This design eliminates the need for external, unsightly propane tanks and hoses, creating a cleaner, more aesthetic appearance while maintaining easy fuel access. The LPT model is specifically designed for liquid propane use, whereas standard models may offer dual fuel capabilities.

The Beton 72" LPT features a smooth-operating sliding door on the base of the fire pit that grants easy access to the hidden propane tank compartment. Simply slide the door open to access your standard 20-lb propane tank, allowing you to check fuel levels, make refills, or perform maintenance. The sliding door operates smoothly and provides secure concealment when closed. Propane tanks are sold separately—we recommend having a backup tank on hand to minimize downtime between refills.

Yes, the Beton 72" LPT is CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certified, confirming it meets rigorous laboratory-tested safety standards for outdoor gas fire features. CSA certification ensures the fire pit operates safely, controls flames reliably, and meets both Canadian and U.S. safety requirements. This certification provides assurance for both residential and commercial applications, giving you confidence that your investment is built to perform safely in outdoor environments.

The Beton 72" LPT delivers 65,000 BTU of radiant heat output, providing consistent warmth suitable for heating moderate to large outdoor gathering areas. This heat level is effective for creating a comfortable, warm atmosphere around the fire pit seating area and is comparable to commercial-grade outdoor heating solutions. The actual heating effectiveness depends on outdoor temperature, wind conditions, ambient humidity, and proximity to the fire pit. For very large commercial spaces or harsh climates, you may consider multiple fire features or supplemental heating.

The Beton 72" LPT arrives fully assembled and preassembled, ready for installation with included lava rock media, protective fabric cover, one AAA battery for ignition, and all necessary hardware. The propane tank is sold separately—you'll need to purchase a standard 20-lb propane tank and arrange for initial filling at a propane supplier. Optional accessories like stainless steel burner covers and glass wind guards are available for purchase but not required for basic operation.

The Beton 72" LPT features a user-friendly battery-powered push-button ignition system. Simply turn on the gas supply at the propane tank, press the ignition button to create a spark at the burner, and the flame will ignite. Once lit, adjust the flame height using the simple control knob—turn it to achieve anything from a low, romantic flicker to a high, vibrant blaze. The knob provides intuitive high and low settings, giving you complete control over ambiance and heat output. The AAA battery included powers the spark ignition system.

The GFRC concrete is designed to be low-maintenance and weather-resistant. Dust the exterior with a soft cloth regularly and rinse with water if needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or sealant. The protective fabric cover should be used when the fire pit is not in use for extended periods to shield it from elements. Lava rock can be replaced when worn, and the stainless steel burner requires minimal maintenance—simply ensure it remains clean and dry for optimal performance.

Yes, the Beton 72" LPT is specifically designed for both residential and commercial applications. Its CSA certification, durable GFRC construction, hidden propane tank storage, and professional 65,000 BTU output make it an excellent choice for upscale commercial patios, restaurants, resort fire features, hospitality venues, and event spaces. The hidden tank design is particularly appealing for commercial settings seeking a clean aesthetic.
