Montana Fire Pits

What Montana Fire Pits does

Montana Fire Pits is a family-owned manufacturer of luxury propane and natural gas fire pits, founded in 2014 by Jonathan and Amy Howie and headquartered in Missoula, Montana. The company operates an in-house metal fabrication shop producing steel, aluminum, and Corten steel fire tables across seven product lines — Venture Series, Arbor Collection, Studio Series, Timberline Collection (wood-burning), Gather Series (GFRC concrete), Ready to Finish kits, and Fast Ship inventory models — with price points ranging from approximately $4,000 to $25,000. Its core technical differentiator is exclusive authorized-dealer access to Warming Trends' patented Crossfire Brass Burner System, which delivers higher flame output with lower fuel consumption and carries lifetime warranty and ANSI/ICC certifications.

The company sells primarily direct-to-consumer through its e-commerce website with nationwide shipping, supplemented by the Pro Solutions trade program that serves architects, landscape architects, and builders with tiered pricing (Gold 15-20% off, Platinum 20% off), BIM content libraries (Revit, AutoCAD, 3ds Max), and dedicated support. Revenue mechanics rest on one-time unit sales of complete fire systems, custom-built products commanding 20-40% premiums, fire media/accessories ($249-$2,150), and burner systems ($298-$15,000). The business has no institutional funding, no disclosed revenue figures, and operates with 11-50 employees across a sales office and a manufacturing facility. Recent product evolution includes smart-home-integrated ignition systems, Wi-Fi-controlled LED lighting, and expansion of the GFRC concrete category, indicating incremental category extension within the premium outdoor living market.
