18-inch wide flat pan with H burner: two long tubes for an even flame across a wide pit, 24 to 96 inches
The Outdoor Plus 18 inch wide rectangular flat pan and H burner evenly spreads flame across an 18-inch-wide pit. Made in the USA in lengths of 24 to 96 inches, its rimless stainless plate sits over the enclosure beneath lava rock or fire glass. Two long drilled burner tubes joined by a middle crossbar form an H, carrying flame along both pan edges.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. Have a 12-inch-wide opening instead? See the 12-inch wide flat pan with H burner. The 18 inch H burner set ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why go all the way to an 18-inch wide pan?
Presence. The 18-inch flat pan is the widest in this rectangular line, leaving a deep media field around the stainless H burner so the fire reads as a hearth, not a strip. If the feature is the centerpiece of a large patio, this is the width that carries it.
What comes in the box with the OPT-REFD18 set?
The stainless steel 18-inch flat pan and matched H burner, built as one drop-on assembly in your chosen length from 24 to 96 inches — OPT-REFD1824 through OPT-REFD1896. Ignition hardware ships per the option you select; media and the gas run are yours to add.
How do I shut the fire down properly?
Turn the key valve fully closed and the flame dies instantly — no water, no stirring, no waiting, which is the quiet luxury of gas over wood. On electronic versions, switch off at the control. Let the 18-inch pan cool before covering the feature.
Are backyard fire features like this even allowed?
In most areas, yes — gas features are permitted in many municipalities that restrict wood fires, since there is no smoke or ember risk. You will still need a gas permit for the line to the OPT-REFD18 pan and possibly an inspection. Your installer usually handles both.
What ignition should I pick for a feature this size?
All five options are offered, from match lit through CSA-certified Plug and Play. On a wide 18-inch pan, many builders step up to Low Voltage Electronic or Flame Sense versions — reaching across a big media bed with a match gets old, and flame supervision adds a safety net.
Can this anchor a DIY fire table build?
Yes — an 18-inch wide pan turns a masonry table into something close to a resort feature. Frame the top, cut the opening, rest the pan on it and finish the surround; it is the same construction as a high-end fire pit table. Licensed gas hookup, always.
Is a roof or pergola above the feature a problem?
It can be. An 18-inch H burner produces serious vertical heat, so overhead structures must meet the spec sheet clearances and local ventilation rules for covered installations. Open sky is simplest; if you want fire under a pergola, get the clearance math done before building.
