The Heatstone Malibu is a 30" round propane fire pit sold as a two-piece set: the fire table and a matching tank cover that also works as a side table. The 20 lb propane tank sits in its own enclosure, so the fire table stays low and clean on the patio.

It is a round fire table in a smooth matte finish, sold as a set with a matching freestanding tank cover. Like every Heatstone table, it ships from a US warehouse with a protective cover, a cooking e-book, a 5-year warranty and 100 days to try it at home.

How a propane fire pit table works

A propane fire pit table burns gas from a standard 20 lb tank, the same size used for most grills. The tank sits in its own enclosure next to the table. Open the tank valve, light the burner with the ignition and set the flame height with the control knob. Turn the knob off and the flame stops. There is no wood to buy or stack, no smoke in your eyes or clothes, and no ash to clean afterwards.

Placement and safety

Place the Malibu on a level, non-combustible surface such as pavers, stone or concrete. Keep 5 ft of clearance from walls, deck railings, overhanging branches and anything that can burn. Use it outdoors only, in an open area. Close the tank valve after each use and keep the cover on between uses to protect the burner and the finish from rain and debris.

Questions about the Heatstone Malibu

How long does a 20 lb propane tank last on the Malibu?

A 20 lb tank holds about 430,000 BTU. At the full 50,000 BTU, that is roughly 9 hours of flame. At lower settings it lasts longer.

Is the Malibu hard to assemble?

Plan about 20 to 30 minutes with basic tools. The hose and regulator are supplied; connect the tank, check the connection for leaks with soapy water, and light it.

Can I use the Malibu on a wood deck?

Only on a non-combustible surface with 5 ft of clearance from railings and walls. On a wood deck, place it on a fire-rated deck pad or a stone base.

How do I store the Malibu in winter?

Disconnect and close the tank, let the table dry, and keep the protective cover on. Store the propane tank upright, outdoors, away from the house.

What does the warranty cover?

The 5-year Heatstone warranty covers the burner, control valve, ignition and structure. You also have 100 days to try the table at home and return it if it is not right.
