Stanbroil Drop-in Fire Pit Jet Burner, Upgrade 48" x 14" Stainless Steel Fire Pit Pan for Natural Gas & Propane Fire Table, High Flame, 185k BTU Max

The media could not be loaded. I have a wood burning fireplace but I’m not always up for the whole process that comes from starting a fire. I added a 24x8” burner and put some rock wool on top to see if I could get something realistic. I think the video shows that it’s pretty darn good. FWIW, I’m using natural gas but have it plumbed with 3/4” pipe until the last 1’ of 1/2” flex pipe. I plan on hiding the pan and very bottom part of flames with a steel plate and just burning wood logs on top when inclined. At full blast it puts off a huge amount of heat; surely enough to keep people warm outside if it’s used for a fire pit.

Im no expert builder or block layer by any means, but figured I would build the firepit myself out of cinder blocks that I had lying around. I used stucco on the outside to match my house, used a 3/4" piece of plywood for the outside template and cut the interior dimension of 14"x48" . I decided to use 2"x10" fir for the top (stained) glued and stapled the plywood to the 2x10 frame to ensure it would stay square. Pan was easy to install, basically just drop it in. I had to tie into my natural gas and run about 30' of new pipe. Overall I am very happy with the way it turned out. The whistling everyone talks about is there if you turn the gas on full blast, but turned down to where the flame is in the pic, there is no whistle. Saw you can buy a different gas line that has varied ribs which supposedly quiets the whistling, havent purchased that as of yet, maybe in the future but really dont need too much more flame than what is shown.

Good quality and well built, however, it does not include any attachments. If it does not fit your hose connections, you will need to purchase an additional conversion kit.

Great drop in, we’ll made. I would buy this again!

The media could not be loaded. The base of some of the nozzles leak due to welding issue.

Durable construction and well built. Now you can make a dream become reality with some minor addition of some gas fittings. Definitely worth the money and seems like it would weather the elements.

Item is well constructed and will work nicely for my project. I am estimating I will need to order 40 lbs of glass to fill.

The jets stick up too high and are almost impossible to cover with glass beads. It ends up looking like a birthday cake with individual candles rather than a natural looking flame
