Thanks all. Rethinking the idea now and will probably place it on the concrete pad outside my lanai. CO scares me.

You're putting it in a screened lanai where you can hear your neighbors, smell what they're cooking on the grill, get wet if it's raining, and watch your lanai ceiling fans move during a tropical storm, right? That really does not fit the description of an enclosed area.

An enclosed lanai with glass windows to keep the breeze out would be enclosed. I might be concerned about a lanai that is only open on one small end but enclosed on the other three. If I have to worry about getting wet when it rains and the wind turns my ceiling fans then I'm not worried about a buildup of CO, but that's just me.

Exactly, I have one on the Lanai, no worries except when the hurricane got it wet.

No worries, enjoy. As long as you don’t leave it unattended and the space is well ventilated then it’s all good.

you can certainly put fire pit in your enclosed lanai if you want to burn your house down

you can certainly put a fire pit inside your lanai if you want to burn your house down....willing to take that chance?

If you can have a barbeque in your screened lanai, you can have a fire pit. I have a 10 foot ceiling in my lanai and don't have issues. There is a ceiling fan almost overhead. During the winter when I use the fire pit (coffee table style) I put the fan on reverse and low to keep heat away from ceiling. Have not had any issues.

We have one on our 38 x 12 lanai and it is perfect. Use it when my wife wants too. It is too warm for me. 😎

we do it all the time, if you are enclosed I'd recommend keeping it closer to a door/window that you can crack open. That would take out any propane 'overrun'

This from the link……

Who would stand directly over the pit?

Maybe someone is roasting their chest or nuts.....

A propane firepit in a lanai isn't any more of a hazard than a propane stove in the kitchen. Don't worry about it.
