I have various options available to fit the needs of your fire pit or fire garden. If you aren’t 100 percent sure about which kit to order, take a look at my fire pit kit information page. Also check out examples that were made with these kits. If you still have questions email me at books@formandreform.com.
Fire Kits with propane regulators:
These are great kits for making propane fire pits or sand gardens for your backyard.
Fire pit kit information page
Example of a complete kit with 30 psi regulator (kits vary based on selection)
- fire ring or burner, 3/8″ 45 deg flare to 1/2 NPT fitting (to connect to the gas hose), 1/2″ brass nipple, Teflon tape, lighter, propane regulator with needle valve and 12′ hose. - Although you’ll only need one, the kit also includes two couplers. If you’d prefer to weld your coupler into place, use the steel black one, otherwise the 1/2″ Bulkhead coupler requires no welding and fits into a 1 1/8 hole. Regulators: 30 psi regulator is a good economic solution for most applications. It maintains the pressure at 30 psi and you control the volume of gas (size of the flames) with the attached needle valve. Great for sand gardens and applications where a venturi is not used. Ok for use with a venturi. 0-60 psi regulator is the Cadillac. The pressure can be adjusted from 0-60 psi and you can control the volume with the attached needle valve. It also comes with a gauge so you can see what pressure you are at. This gives greater control of the gas and more possible BTUs (size of the fire). When used with the venturi it also allows for a wider range of air/gas mixtures allowing cleaner soot free burns in many different media types. Recommended for large 24″ + sized rings.

What would it take to convert one of your kits to be used with natural gas?
All you need from me is the ring. Use a key valve to adjust the flame and a flex hose, or hard pipe to the ring.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I need the 18″ kit, but I’m not sure of the difference in 30psi and 0-60psi. Can you help me understand the differences?
Thank you.

The link you provided gives no information on the difference between the 30 and 0-60 psi options. How would I determine which option is best for my project? I know nothing about psi.
Thank you

I am building a rectangular pit with an 8 foot straight pipe. No sand, only rock and fire glass. Would you recommend the adjustable 60 PSI regulator and venturi to power this length? Any other parts other than propane and adjustable regulator?
You have more control with the 0-60 reg. I have no idea of your btu’s with the pipe but I would send you the bigger one I sell that goes with the 24″ ring. if you use 1/2 pipe you should have what you need in the kit.
Where can I purchase your venturi kit? I’ve built a small rectangular pit (36″) that uses a 1/2″ straight pipe with 3/32″ holes drilled every 1-1/2″ staggered at a 45* angle to the bottom of the pit. Pit is filled with lava rock and I’m getting more soot than I’d like. I’m running propane on a 10psi regulator and using a ball valve to adjust the output. Any info would be appreciated!

I only sell the venturi with my kits.
Than I shall design my own!
That’s what I do and it works well!
I am building a small Fire pit in back yard, 12″ ring using 5 gallon propane tank, can I bury the rubber hose included in the kit? It will be under stone and sand/semi covered porch.
I do not recommend burying the hose. Use 1/2 npt pipe to run underground and use the supplied fittings to attach to that.
Why do you not suggest the Venturi or Air Mixer for the sand? I have a friend with a sand fire pit and although the flame looks clean the surface become souty very quickly.
Non-porous media like sand could potentially block up the end of the plumbing and create a back flow, pushing the fire back into the plumbing and out of the holes of the venturi. The hazard doesn’t exist without the venturi because fire needs both fuel and oxygen, without a venturi there is no way for oxygen to get into the plumbing while the propane is being pushed through.
Could it be that the black soot you see is actually the sand itself turning black from the heat? If so, that’s normal.
Good evening!
What ring size would you recommend for a 23 inch fire bowl? The fire vessel is brass. Thank you!
