FIRE PIT, BROOKS (1242) DINING HT, TAUPE w/ DSI LP

The Brooks (1242) Dining Height Fire Pit in Taupe is a refined centerpiece that blends social dining with warm, cinematic flames. Built on a Graphite Grey powder-coated aluminum frame and topped with Taupe composite decking, this 80.69" long, 49" wide, 30" high unit creates an inviting, restaurant-style experience in your outdoor space. At its heart sits a 12" x 42" Crystal Fire® Plus burner delivering up to 80,000 BTUs, pictured with clear tempered fire glass gems that shimmer as flames dance around your table.

Why this fire pit stands out

Designed for outdoor entertaining, Brooks 1242 elevates patio dining with a dedicated flame focal point that still feels like part of the furniture. The durable, low-maintenance materials resist the elements, while the generous dining height makes conversation flow naturally from all around the table. The included grey glass burner cover keeps the flames tucked away when the fire is not in use, preserving the unit’s clean lines.

• Crystal Fire® Plus burner with clear tempered glass gems for a bright, glassy glow

Fuel flexibility and ignition options

This fire pit is configured for liquid propane (LP) out of the box, making fuel management straightforward for most backyards. If you prefer natural gas, the included conversion kit lets you switch without sacrificing performance. For ease of use, you can light the burner with the standard manual ignition or opt for the Electronic Direct Spark Ignition for push-button convenience. The result is a dependable flame that’s quick to start and simple to control, perfect for spontaneous gatherings or formal dinners alike.

Ideal uses and placement ideas

• Backyard dining areas where guests can sit along the long sides and share warmth and conversation
• Poolside patios or covered patios where a low-profile, long-format fire feature enhances ambiance without dominating the space
• Outdoor dining rooms or verandas that benefit from a stable flame as temperatures drop in the evening

What to expect during setup and care

Uncomplicated to assemble, Brooks 1242 ships ready for LP use and can be converted to NG with the included kit. The access door keeps the 20 lb propane tank neatly tucked away, while the protective components help maintain aesthetics when the flame is not active. Remember to remove the burner cover before lighting, and follow all safety guidelines, including proper ventilation and keeping combustibles at a safe distance. If you opt for wind-prone evenings, the optional glass wind guard provides an extra layer of flame stability and safety.
