Hi folks I'm planning the features for my pool deck and I'm having some trouble deciding between doing a natural gas vs a propane fire pit.

I would really like to have a firepit and I'd really prefer a easy hassle free gas burning one and not a wood burning one.

That being said, I have some concerns about doing natural gas because the fire pit will end up being about 7-8 feet outside of my bedroom window and I will need to run 75 feet of natural gas line across the whole yard to be able to have the gas available. There's also already a bunch of plumbing lines already buried under ground for the pool so I have some concerns about risks during the dig as well if I were to try to install a new gas line.

I'm not sure if folks here have experience with both propane and natural gas fire pits? Are there any pros and cons to each besides not needing to restock the propane? Are propane fire pits essentially just as nice as natural gas ones? If you could go back and do it all over again, which one would you guys choose?
