Fire Pits & Fire Features in Oak Island, NC

About forty minutes from our Leland showroom, down Highway 133 across the bridge.

Fire tables are frequently the right answer on Oak Island. They suit deck-level outdoor living, they need no masonry, and they can be positioned out of the prevailing wind. We specify for salt exposure and handle the gas connection, whether that is propane or a run from the house.

Fire tables, fire bowls, and custom burner systems from The Outdoor GreatRoom Company, HPC Fire, and Warming Trends bring warmth and atmosphere to your outdoor space — helping you extend your outdoor season and enjoy your patio long after temperatures drop. We'll help you choose between drop-in burners, ready-made fire tables and bowls, or a fully custom fire feature, then take care of the gas run and installation.

About Oak Island

Oak Island brings two constraints together that neither Leland nor Wilmington has to deal with. Salt exposure is severe, and a great many homes sit elevated on pilings with the outdoor living space on a deck rather than on grade. That changes almost everything about a build.

Common questions

Can you build an outdoor kitchen on an elevated deck?

Often yes, but the design has to respect what the deck can carry. Full masonry islands are usually the wrong choice on an elevated structure. Lighter polymer or stainless cabinetry, freestanding appliances, and careful gas routing are what we normally reach for. If the structure will not take it, we will tell you.

Jeff, owner of What the Grill, did a nice job of consulting with us to help us design our outdoor kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. So far, I’ve cooked appetizers before dinner (we ate dinner out with friends) and this morning I cooked breakfast outside. The Primo ceramic grill is wonderful.
