Outdoor GreatRoom Montego
vs Cedar Ridge
Black glass and wicker, or wood-look concrete. Choose the table you want to live around.
The decision
Choose the furniture you want around the fire.
Outdoor GreatRoom Montego and Cedar Ridge put a long flame within a patio table, with room inside the base for the propane tank. The worthwhile comparison is the furniture around that flame: black glass and wicker on Montego, or a wood-look concrete top and poly-wood surfaces on Cedar Ridge.
Choose Montego for a glass-and-wicker setting
We would start with Montego beside woven lounge furniture or where a reflective black top belongs in the design. Its listed weight is 140 pounds, and its overall footprint is a little smaller than Cedar Ridge’s. Plan it as a substantial piece of outdoor furniture, with access to the tank door.
Explore Outdoor GreatRoom MontegoChoose Cedar Ridge for a substantial wood-look table
Cedar Ridge’s Supercast top gives the fire table a different texture and presence. We would choose it when that surface is part of the patio’s character and the owner is comfortable caring for concrete. Its listed 230-pound weight makes the final position and delivery route worth settling early.
Explore Outdoor GreatRoom Cedar RidgeThe examples below both use propane and electronic ignition. Other fuel and ignition configurations are listed on the product pages; confirm the complete setup before choosing one.
Picture the patio
One flame format. Two different kinds of furniture.
What you see on Montego
The Montego specification identifies a black tempered-glass top, Balsam wicker and a powder-coated aluminum frame. Choose it for that combination of surface and weave. The glass burner cover gives the top a more continuous table surface when the fire is off and the unit has cooled.
What you see on Cedar Ridge
Cedar Ridge’s top and burner cover are Supercast concrete. Its assembly instructions identify poly-wood surfaces on the table base. The Cedar Ridge name describes the model; it does not mean you are buying a solid cedar tabletop.

Before choosing either, think through a normal evening: where the chairs sit, where the tank door opens, and where the cooled burner cover will be placed while the fire is running. Those details determine whether the table feels useful after the first photograph.

Everyday ownership
Plan the door, the cover and the route into place.
Leave the tank door usable
Both assembly guides show the propane cylinder behind an access door. A wall, planter or closely placed chair can turn a simple tank change into moving the table. Check that the door can open and the cylinder can be handled at the intended final position.
Treat placement as part of the purchase
Montego is lighter on the listed figures, but neither table is a casual one-person move. Cedar Ridge adds a heavy concrete top to the placement plan. Measure the route through gates and around corners, and arrange the help needed for assembly and positioning.
Electronic ignition needs a power plan too
The DSI instructions specify a GFCI-protected electrical arrangement with a weatherproof cover, and describe an optional battery-pack route. Have the installer identify the complete power setup for your selected package. Do not assume that choosing propane also makes every part of an electronic-ignition table independent of electrical planning.
Keep the table’s enclosure ventilation and service access open. The burner instructions determine the required clearances and whether a partially covered location qualifies as an outdoor space.
Give Cedar Ridge a concrete-care routine
Outdoor GreatRoom recommends mild dish detergent and warm water for Supercast, prompt cleanup of colored spills, and letting the top dry before covering. It recommends sealing annually or as needed. Put that small maintenance task into the ownership decision before choosing the wood-look top.
The protective fabric cover and rigid burner cover serve different purposes. A fabric cover protects the furniture during storage; the rigid cover closes the burner area when the table is not operating. Keep either cover off an operating fire and let the unit cool before covering.
The complete order
Keep the table package separate from the site work.
Account for the standard table equipment
- Selected table and burner arrangement
- The model’s rigid burner cover
- Clear glass gems as the standard decorative media
- The exact ignition and fuel configuration selected on the product page
Check the separate project items
- Propane cylinder and any site-specific supply work
- The documented electronic-ignition power arrangement
- Optional fabric cover or glass wind guard
- Delivery access, assembly and placement help
- Any alternate media, verified for the exact burner
A glass wind guard is a different accessory from the supplied burner cover. Do not buy one as a substitute for the other. If you prefer different decorative media, confirm the approved type and quantity rather than treating the burner tray as a place for any stone or glass.

Where we would put Montego
Montego is the one we would put beside wicker lounge chairs when we want the fire table to feel like part of the furniture set. The black glass carries a reflection of the flame; at a listed 140 pounds it also asks less of the placement plan than Cedar Ridge. We would decide where the tank door opens before arranging the chairs.
Where we would put Cedar Ridge
Cedar Ridge is the one we would choose for a patio built around the wood-look top. The matching cover helps the furniture keep working as a table between evenings by the fire. We would settle its final position before it arrives and plan the drying and resealing routine. Those commitments make sense when that concrete surface is what you want to see every day.

Warranty and documents
The burner has longer coverage than the concrete finish.
The current Outdoor GreatRoom warranty schedule provides a ten-year limited lifetime term for residential stainless-steel Crystal Fire Plus burners and three years for residential ignition and electronic components. Those are useful ownership benefits for the working parts of either table.
Table structure
The schedule lists three-year structural coverage for gas fire-table bases and tops. This covers qualifying defects under the warranty terms; it is not a promise against damage from incorrect handling, installation or maintenance.
Cedar Ridge’s Supercast exception
Supercast has its own one-year structure-and-finish term. Non-structural hairline cracks are treated as normal rather than automatically as defects. Read that specific section alongside the general table coverage when choosing the concrete top.
Coverage applies to the original owner and original installation in the US or Canada. Keep proof of purchase and let Outdoor GreatRoom inspect a claimed defect before parts are removed or repaired.

Good questions
A clearer choice.
Is Cedar Ridge made from cedar wood?
The table manual identifies a Supercast concrete top and poly-wood surfaces. Choose it for the wood-look finish and its actual material-care requirements.
Does electronic ignition mean there is no power setup to plan?
No. The DSI instructions specify an appropriate GFCI-protected electrical arrangement and describe an optional battery-pack route. Confirm what your selected package needs with the installer.
Is the glass wind guard the same as the burner cover?
No. The burner cover closes the cooled burner area when the fire is off. A wind guard is a separate accessory used around the flame; confirm exact model compatibility.
Does the concrete top have the same warranty as the burner?
No. The current warranty schedule gives residential stainless-steel burners a ten-year limited lifetime term. Supercast has a separate one-year structure-and-finish term, with specific treatment of non-structural hairline cracks.
