Round Gas Fire Ring Burner
Timeless Design. Beautifully Balanced Flames.
Some fire pit designs never go out of style.
The Round Gas Fire Ring Burner has remained one of the most trusted burner designs for custom fire pits because of its ability to create a clean, symmetrical flame that naturally complements circular fire features. Whether installed beneath lava rock, fire glass, or decorative fire media, its evenly distributed flame pattern creates a warm, inviting focal point that feels both refined and timeless.
Handcrafted from premium stainless steel by The Outdoor Plus, this professional-grade fire ring is engineered for years of dependable outdoor performance. Available in diameters ranging from 5 inches to 48 inches (Custom Sizes Available), each burner is designed to provide balanced gas distribution and consistent flame height across the entire ring.
As burner diameters increase, additional concentric rings are incorporated to maintain beautiful flame coverage throughout the fire feature. Larger 48" models feature a 4-Ring & Manifold (4R) configuration, allowing higher BTU output while delivering exceptional flame consistency across oversized fire pits.
Compatible with both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) when paired with the appropriate ignition system, the Round Gas Fire Ring Burner is backed by The Outdoor Plus Lifetime Warranty, making it a premium choice for homeowners, contractors, landscape architects, and luxury outdoor living professionals.

Why Choose the Round Gas Fire Ring Burner?
Some designs become classics because they simply work.
The Round Gas Fire Ring Burner produces one of the most balanced flame patterns available, making it the ideal choice for traditional round fire pits and fire bowls. Its circular design distributes flame evenly around the entire burner, creating a natural-looking fire that feels warm, inviting, and perfectly proportioned.
As burner sizes increase, The Outdoor Plus incorporates additional flame rings to maintain uniform flame coverage instead of allowing the center of the fire feature to appear empty. This engineering approach results in larger fires that remain visually balanced while producing impressive heat output.
For homeowners seeking timeless elegance or designers creating high-end outdoor living spaces, the Round Gas Fire Ring Burner continues to be one of the most versatile and dependable burner styles available.
Choosing the Right Burner Shape
| Burner Style | Best For | Flame Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Round Gas Fire Ring Burner | Traditional round fire pits and fire bowls | Balanced, symmetrical flame with classic circular coverage |
| Triple S Burner | Luxury round and square fire features | Dynamic multidirectional flame with greater movement and center coverage |
| Lotus Burner | Decorative designer fire bowls | Organic petal-shaped flame pattern with elegant visual depth |
| Wheel Burner | Large round fire features | Multiple flame spokes creating enhanced center flame density |
| Star Burner | Statement fire bowls | Radiating flame pattern that extends toward the outer edges |
| Square Burner | Square fire pits and modern fire tables | Clean geometric flame following the shape of the enclosure |
The Round Gas Fire Ring Burner is the ideal choice when you're looking for a timeless, evenly distributed flame that complements virtually any traditional round fire feature. If you're after a more dramatic flame footprint, burners like the Triple S, Lotus, Wheel, or Star Burner create additional movement and visual depth, while a Square Burner is specifically designed to match square fire pits and modern architectural designs.
