6-inch wide drop-in pan with linear burner: the slimmest lipped flame trough, 24 to 96 inches
The Outdoor Plus 6 inch wide rectangular drop-in pan and linear burner is the range’s narrowest lipped insert for a thin flame ribbon along wall caps, bars, or water features. Made in the USA, its stainless pan rests on its lip inside your enclosure, holding lava rock or fire glass. Choose 24 to 96 inches long; one straight drilled tube running its length provides an even flame line.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. For a flush fit without a visible lip, try the 6-inch lipless drop-in pan with linear burner. The 6 inch linear burner set ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What makes a drop-in pan different from a flat pan?
A drop-in recesses below the surface: the 6-inch pan drops into your cut-out and hangs on its rim, so media sits down inside the feature and plumbing hides underneath. Flat pans rest on top. If you want the fire emerging from the surface rather than sitting on it, drop-in is the style.
Which sizes does the OPT-RT series come in?
Nine lengths, all 6 inches wide: 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96 inches — OPT-RT24 through OPT-RT96. The narrow width and fine length steps make it the go-to for slot-style fire ribbons in walls, planters and table centerlines.
Does it support flame-sensing ignition?
Yes — there is a dedicated Flame Sense spec sheet for this pan. Options run from match lit pan-and-burner through Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified) and Plug and Play (CSA certified).
I want to build my own fire feature — is this where I start?
This is the engineered shortcut. The hard part of building a fire pit is never the masonry — it is the pan, burner and gas safety. The OPT-RT drop-in solves all three in one part; you build the surround and a licensed installer connects it. Browse finished gas fire pit designs for proportions worth copying.
What media suits a narrow 6-inch channel?
Small-format fire glass — quarter to half-inch — looks best in a slot this tight; chunky lava rock can crowd the linear burner and interrupt the flame line. Fill level with the recessed rim, keeping ports clear. A 96-inch OPT-RT96 channel takes surprisingly little glass.
Does the buyer choose the gas type?
Yes — every OPT-RT set is built to order for natural gas or liquid propane. Decide with your installer before ordering; the burner ships configured for that fuel and is not meant to be swapped in the field afterward.
Can the finished slot burner sit under a roofed outdoor kitchen?
Only with the clearances and ventilation the spec sheet and local code demand — overhead combustibles are the limiting factor, and kitchens add grease and airflow questions. Plenty of builders run the 6-inch ribbon along an open counter edge instead. Confirm with your gas professional first.
