The Fire Pit Specialists Your Neighbors Already Trust
BBQ Repair Doctor is a family-owned company that’s been repairing outdoor gas equipment across Southern California for more than 30 years. Our certified technicians work on built-in fire pits, fire tables, and custom gas features every week — the same skills that made us the go-to grill repair company in LA apply directly to your fire pit’s burners, valves, and ignition.
Sound Familiar?
Fire pits fail in predictable ways. The igniter clicks but nothing lights. The flame is weak or uneven, with dead spots along the burner ring. It lights, then shuts itself off a minute later. You smell gas but see no flame. Or years of weather have left the burner pan rusted and the media looking tired.
Most of these come down to a handful of causes — clogged burner ports, a failed thermocouple or ignition module, a bad regulator, or corroded gas connections. All of them are fixable, and none of them are jobs to guess your way through when gas is involved.
What We Repair
We service natural gas and propane fire pits of every style: built-in masonry pits, fire tables, fire bowls, and linear fire features from brands like HPC, Warming Trends, Fire Gear, American Fyre, and The Outdoor GreatRoom.
A typical visit covers ignition and pilot repair, burner cleaning or replacement, gas valve and regulator work, thermocouple replacement, leak testing on every connection, and refreshing lava rock or fire glass. You get an upfront price before any work starts — no hourly meter running, no surprises.
Why Homeowners Call Us Instead of a Handyman
Gas work isn’t a guessing game. Our technicians are certified, our repairs are backed by a solid warranty, and we carry the common parts on the truck — which is why most fire pit repairs are finished in a single visit. We also repair outdoor gas fireplaces, patio heaters, and pizza ovens — if it lives on your patio and runs on gas, we service it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Pit Repair
Why won’t my gas fire pit light?
The usual suspects are a clogged pilot or burner ports, a weak igniter battery, a failed spark module, or a safety valve that’s doing its job because it senses a problem. We diagnose it on the spot and give you a fixed price to repair it.
Why does my fire pit flame keep going out?
That’s most often a thermocouple or flame sensor issue — the safety part that shuts gas off when it can’t detect flame. Wind exposure and a low tank can also play a part. It’s one of the most common repairs we do.
Do you repair fire tables and custom built-in fire features?
Yes. Manufactured fire tables, custom masonry pits, linear burners — if it runs on gas, we service it.
How much does fire pit repair cost?
It depends on the part, but you’ll know the exact price before we start. Upfront pricing is how we’ve done business for 30 years.
