Know before you buy
No, the fire glass is sold separately. You will need approximately 45 lbs of fire glass to properly fill this 36" x 12" pan.
No, this system is strictly designed for outdoor, well-ventilated applications. It should never be used in an enclosed space.
The match-light system is a manual ignition method. You turn on the gas at the safety shut-off valve and use a long-reach lighter or match to ignite the gas directly at the burner ports.
The weep holes are drilled into the H-burner to allow any moisture that enters the pan to drain out. This prevents water from pooling inside the burner, which helps protect the system and prevents whistling sounds during operation.
No, this kit includes a propane air mixer. It is essential to use this mixer with propane to ensure a clean, efficient burn and prevent excessive soot buildup.
This pan measures 36" x 12" with a 1 1/4" flange. You should ensure your fire pit opening is slightly smaller than the pan dimensions so the lip can securely support the unit while resting on your enclosure.
