Although there are so many delightful things that come with the fall season — from colorful leaves and golden sunlight to crisp mornings and cozy evenings inside — there's always that bittersweet moment when you realize that, for the next few months, you'll be spending a lot less time outdoors. But the arrival of cooler weather doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to your backyard patio just yet. With a few comfortable touches, you can easily extend your patio season into fall — and possibly even winter, depending on where you live. All you have to do is find the perfect smokeless fire pit for a toasty backyard patio, and if you're shopping for an inexpensive yet reliable option to add to your existing setup set this season, Amazon has a highly rated model worth checking out.

Currently on sale for $117.99, the 40,000-BTU BAIDE HOME 28-inch Tabletop Propane Fire Pit could be the budget-friendly backyard patio decor addition you need. Its versatile design works well as a centerpiece on a variety of patio tables, whether you have a long dining table setup or a smaller coffee table for more casual gatherings. The included glass shield protects the flame from the wind, meaning it will maintain the welcoming ambiance even on breezy nights. The fire pit has earned plenty of 5-star reviews from Amazon shoppers (and a 4.6-star rating overall), with customers raving about its warm, atmospheric flame and the sleek design. One happy customer even called it their new favorite patio item, noting that it puts out "serious heat even on medium," while another referred to it as "a good heat source for those cooler nights outdoors."

If you're considering the BAIDE HOME Tabletop Fire Pit, one important thing to note is that the propane tank is not included. Since it's a tabletop model, the tank will have to sit on the ground, which can be a bit of an eyesore. An easy fix for this, however, is to hide it inside a propane cover. BAIDE HOME even sells its own Propane Tank Storage Hideaway Table on Amazon for $79.99. Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that the hose connecting the fire pit and the tank is only 8 feet long, which limits your placement options. Investing in a separate longer hose will give you more flexibility when arranging your patio furniture. Fortunately, the fire also allows side or bottom hose connections, so you can hide the tank under the table or keep it off to the side if that's not possible.

Available in black and carbon gray color options, this tabletop fire pit is more than just a heat source; it also doubles as a design element. Its long, rectangular flame creates the look of a modern fire table, giving your patio a sleeker feel. The shape also makes it more efficient, as rectangular fire pits often have a more even heat distribution than circular ones. The main drawback to the design is that some have found the glass shield tricky (and even frustrating) to assemble. Add to the cozy vibe by dressing up your furniture with throw blankets and other budget-friendly decor, and complement the fire pit's warm glow with solar lanterns or an enchanting string light idea that will transform your patio. Before you know it, you'll have turned your outdoor space into a year-round oasis.
