Shop Gas Fire Pit Burners by Shape
The shape of your burner sets the look of your flame, so start with the shape of your fire pit and the style you want.
- Ring and round burners produce a classic circular flame and are a natural fit for round fire pits and fire bowls.
- H-style and T-shaped burners spread the flame across a wider area and work well in square and rectangular fire pits.
- Linear burners create a long, narrow line of flame for modern rectangular fire pits, fire tables, and linear fire features.
- Crossfire brass burners from Warming Trends come in original, tree, H-style, linear, and octagonal designs and are known for producing tall, full flames.
- Specialty shapes such as stars, spirals, lotus flowers, fish eyes, figure eights, and bullet burners let you create a distinctive flame pattern for a custom fire feature.
- Submersible manifolds are designed to sit deeper within your fire media for a natural, rising flame, and some burners come with electronic ignition built in for push-button or remote control.
Stainless Steel, Brass, and Black Steel Burners
- Stainless steel is the most common choice for outdoor fire pit burners. It resists rust, handles repeated heating and cooling, and is available in the widest range of shapes and sizes. Many of our burners are made from 304 or marine-grade stainless steel.
- Brass burners are heavier and especially resistant to corrosion, which makes them a long-lasting option for coastal climates, high-humidity areas, and high-use installations.
- Black iron and mild steel burners are a budget-friendly option. They work well but will develop surface rust outdoors over time, so they're best for covered or lower-exposure locations.
Sizing Your Burner
Choose a burner that fits inside your burner pan or fire pit opening with a few inches of space around it for fire media. A larger burner produces a bigger flame and more heat, while a smaller burner leaves a wider ledge and uses less gas. Check the burner dimensions and recommended pan size on each product page, and plan for about one to two inches of fire media covering the burner ports.
Matching Your Burner to Your Gas Supply
Every burner has a BTU rating, and your gas supply needs to deliver enough fuel to support it. If the gas line is too small or the run from your meter is too long, the flame will be weak and uneven. Check the BTU rating on the product page, and have a licensed gas professional confirm that your line, pressure, and meter can support the burner along with any other gas appliances in your home. Our guide to gas line sizing for outdoor gas appliances walks through the basics.
Why Some Fire Pits Whistle
A loud whistling sound when the gas is turned up is usually caused by gas flowing through a corrugated flex line at high volume. Using a whistle-free flex line and properly sized fittings usually solves it. Some burners also have drilled ports designed to help reduce noise.
Burners, Pans, and Complete Kits
A burner is usually installed in a burner pan, which holds the burner and fire media in place and helps rain drain away. You can buy a burner on its own to replace a worn-out unit or upgrade an existing fire pit, pair it with a burner pan for a custom build, or choose a complete gas fire pit kit that bundles the burner, pan, and ignition system together.
