Know before you buy
The false bottom reduces the total volume of the fire pit, which means you need significantly less fire glass to fill the pan. It also helps keep the glass layer at the surface for a better flame display.
No. The burner ring features precision-drilled holes specifically designed to prevent the whistling noise often associated with gas fire features.
The system includes an integrated thermopile safety sensor. If the flame is extinguished unexpectedly, the sensor detects the loss of heat and automatically shuts off the gas supply.
Not at all. The pan is engineered with built-in weep holes that allow for consistent drainage, preventing water from accumulating inside the unit.
This system is specifically optimized for whole-house propane setups. If you are using a portable tank, ensure your setup is configured to provide the correct pressure and flow required for an intermittent pilot ignition system.
This pan is designed to fit a square opening of 18 inches by 18 inches. Ensure your firebox matches these dimensions to allow for a proper drop-in fit.
