Adding a Firepit to my STR- Gas or Woodburning?

[Joe Stout]

Adding a firepit to my STR in Port Clinton Ohio. Can you guys help me decide on the specs and the type? Are there any hazards I should watch out for with gas? Can you make more cashflow with wood-burning since you're charging for the wood?

Thank you!

 This is our fire pit and people love it.

The cleaners empty out the ash. No big deal here.

We provide the wood and have a covered area for it.

The cleaners let the firewood guy know if it is low and he fills it up for $35.

That pit is "FIRE" no pun intended!    I can see why it's a winner, have any of your guest reported snakes in the wood storage area?  I have some across a few over the years.  Normally corn or rat snakes.  Once I found a copper head, and another a Pygmy Rattler.

Nope. It is in as covered area with a concrete base.
The previous owner spent some change on having this all built. It has lighting too.
