Electronic ignitions (auto-ignites) are a great option if you want to be able to turn your fire pit on and off with the flip of a switch. They require switched power to the area (you can find more information on acceptable locations on the specific spec sheet for each fire pit model/size). The standard model requires 110VAC electricity but 24VAC models are available upon request.
When the unit senses power, it opens the gas supply and ignites a glow rod to light the fire pit. When the electricity supply is cut off (via switch), the unit shuts off the gas and the fire pit turns off. The switch is not included with the fire pit and may be of many different types (simple toggle switch, timer, home automation system, etc.). We recommend working with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate switch style, location, and power supply.
