Empire Distributing
overview
Introducing the Brooks 1242 Taupe Fire Pit — a striking, weather-ready centerpiece that combines taupe composite decking with a graphite grey powder-coated aluminum frame for a timeless outdoor look. Built for performance and built to last, this fire pit turns chilly evenings into inviting gatherings with clean lines and a captivating flame.
Why the Brooks 1242 Taupe Fire Pit stands out
- Durable, cohesive design — taupe composite decking on the top and base pairs seamlessly with a graphite grey aluminum frame for a contemporary, low-maintenance outdoor feature.
- Crystal Fire Plus burner — a 12" x 42" burner delivers a robust 65,000 BTU (LP) or 80,000 BTU (NG) for steady warmth and a dramatic flame view, surrounded by clear tempered fire glass gems for a luminous, reflective glow.
- Ready-to-use and adaptable — configured for liquid propane by default, with an included conversion kit to run on natural gas for flexible fuel options.
- Effortless ignition and operation — comes with a manual ignition and battery-operated sparker for quick starts without matches; a burner cover and riser kit are included to protect and elevate the look when not in use.
- Smart internal design — an Access Door conceals a standard 20 lb propane tank in the base, keeping fuel out of sight while maintaining a clean silhouette.
- Safety and compliance — UL listed for confidence and built to meet safety standards; remove the burner cover before lighting and operating the burner at all times.
- Customizable and expandable — pair with optional glass wind guard (highly recommended), protective cover, and other fire media sold separately to tailor atmosphere and performance. Optional Kenwood Benches (long and short) complete the outdoor living space.
Performance, use cases, and practical benefits
The Brooks 1242 Taupe Fire Pit is designed for real-world outdoor living. It’s ideal for patios, decks, and poolside lounges where you want both warmth and ambiance without sacrificing style. The generous footprint creates a inviting gathering spot for small groups or larger social evenings. Practical, warm, and visually striking, this fire pit helps define your outdoor living room while delivering consistent heat on cool nights.
Key advantages include:
- Consistent warmth— high BTU output ensures comfortable evenings well into autumn and shoulder seasons, with the option to switch fuels without changing the setup.
- Low-maintenance aesthetics— taupe decking withstands weather and wear while keeping a cohesive look that hides dust and debris for longer between cleanings.
- Flexible fuel options— install as LP by default, or convert to natural gas with the included kit to simplify refueling and reduce the burden of propane storage.
- Easy ownership— simple ignition, concealed propane storage, and protective components help keep the fire pit looking pristine between uses.
- Expandable ambiance— add a wind guard for gusty evenings, and layer in glass media and protective covers to create the perfect mood for every season.
