More Comfort. More Connection.
More Time Outdoors.

From backyard barbecues to quiet evenings under the Texas stars, propane brings warmth and convenience to the places you love spending time. Create an outdoor retreat with inviting spaces to cook, swim, entertain, and unwind.

​

Outdoor Kitchens: Bring Your Best Cooking Outside

 

Whether you’re searing Texas steaks or serving breakfast on the griddle, propane puts responsive cooking power at the center of your outdoor kitchen.

  • Grills: Enjoy adjustable flame control for everything from quick weeknight dinners to backyard cookouts.

  • Flat-Top Griddles: Prepare pancakes, fajitas, and smash burgers on a spacious cooking surface.

  • Side Burners: Simmer sauces, sauté vegetables, or boil corn while keeping the main grill available.

  • Outdoor Pizza Ovens: Bring pizza night outside with a propane-fired oven designed for high-temperature cooking.

  • Rotisseries & Smokers: Explore propane models that provide controlled heat for slow cooking and roasting.

  • A Permanent Connection: Compatible built-in appliances can connect to your home’s propane supply, making a separate grill cylinder unnecessary.

​

Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces: Set the Evening Aglow

Make a flickering flame the gathering point of your backyard. Propane fire features add warmth and atmosphere to everything from casual weeknights to special celebrations.

  • Easy Starts: Enjoy a fire without gathering kindling or building a wood.

  • Less Cleanup: Skip the wood ash and leftover logs.

  • Adjustable Ambiance: Many models let you control flame height to suit the evening.

  • Fire Pits: Create a welcoming spot for conversation with designs ranging from rustic masonry to contemporary metal.

  • Fire Tables: Combine a gathering place with an integrated flame feature for evenings around the table.

  • Outdoor Fireplaces: Make a built-in fireplace the focal point of your outdoor seating area.

  • Linear Fire Features: Add a contemporary touch with a long ribbon of flame.

  • Fire & Water Features: Pair dancing flames with flowing water for a distinctive backyard accent.

​

Patio Heaters: Keep the Conversation Going

A cool evening doesn’t have to send everyone inside. Propane patio heaters bring welcome warmth to outdoor seating and dining areas.
 

  • Warmth Where You Gather: Radiant heat helps keep family and guests comfortable around the patio table or lounge area.

  • Style That Fits: From sleek contemporary designs to classic freestanding heaters, there are options to complement your backyard.

  • Flexible Placement: Portable models fueled by propane cylinders let you bring warmth to different gathering areas without needing a nearby electrical outlet.

  • How It Works: Portable patio heaters connect to a propane cylinder that supplies fuel to the burner. A standard 20-pound cylinder can power some models for up to 10 hours, depending on the heater’s output and heat setting.

​

Pool & Spa Heaters: Make Every Degree Count

 

Your pool shouldn’t sit unused just because the weather cools down. Propane heating helps you enjoy more swimming days and relaxing evenings in the spa.

  • Heat When You Want It: Propane pool and spa heaters warm water quickly, making them a practical choice for homeowners who want heat on demand.

  • Performance in Cooler Weather: Unlike electric heat pumps that draw warmth from the surrounding air, propane heaters maintain strong heating performance when outdoor temperatures drop.

  • A Longer Swimming Season: Take the chill out of spring swims and keep enjoying your pool into fall. Your heater’s size, pool conditions, and local weather determine how much you can extend the season.

  • Your Perfect Spa Temperature: Heat your spa for a relaxing soak without keeping it at bathing temperature all day.​​​

Outdoor Comfort Beyond the Pool

Bring the convenience of hot water to the spaces where you swim, cook, and entertain.

  • Outdoor Showers: Rinse off after swimming or gardening with hot water supplied by a properly installed propane water heater.

  • Outdoor Kitchen Sinks: Make food preparation and cleanup easier with hot water close to your cooking area.

  • Tankless Water Heating: A properly sized propane tankless water heater can supply hot water on demand for outdoor showers and sinks.

  • Saunas:

Gas Lighting: Give Your Evenings a Warm Glow

Propane lighting adds character to entryways, garden paths, and outdoor gathering spaces.

  • Gas Lanterns: Frame doors, gates, or patio entrances with the welcoming glow of a real flame.

  • Post & Column Lights: Add decorative lighting that complements your home’s architecture.

  • Landscape Torches: Highlight garden paths and gathering areas with propane-fueled flame accents.

More Outdoor Possibilities

Propane can also support the practical details that make outdoor living more comfortable.

​​

  • Mosquito Traps: Some systems use propane to generate carbon dioxide that attracts mosquitoes into a trap, helping manage mosquitoes around outdoor spaces.

Designed for Your Texas Backyard

You don’t need a natural gas connection to create an inviting outdoor living space. Propane brings cooking and comfort to homes in town, on acreage, and beyond.

​

Whether you’re adding one appliance or planning a complete backyard retreat, your propane provider can help assess fuel needs, tank capacity, and connections.
