8-inch wide flat pan with linear burner: a single straight flame line for a slim trough, 24 to 96 inches
The Outdoor Plus 8 inch wide rectangular flat pan and linear burner is the insert for a narrow fire trough along a seat wall, bar, or planter. The pan is a flat stainless plate with no rim, 8 inches wide, that lays over the enclosure and hides under lava rock or fire glass. One straight drilled tube runs down the middle for a clean ribbon of flame. Lengths run 24 to 96 inches, made in the USA.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. Need it even slimmer? The 6-inch wide flat pan with linear burner fits a 6 inch opening. The 8 inch linear burner set ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does the 8-inch width buy me over the 6-inch pan?
A wider media bed and a fuller flame presence. With the 8-inch flat pan there is more fire glass either side of the stainless linear burner, so the fire looks anchored in the feature rather than perched on a slot. Same nine lengths, 24 through 96 inches.
Which part numbers cover this set?
OPT-REFS824 through OPT-REFS896, spanning 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96-inch lengths. The specification sheets list both 6 and 8-inch pan widths, so double-check you are on the 8-inch line before matching a cut-out to it.
How much upkeep does the stainless burner need?
Very little — that is the argument for stainless. Keep the linear burner ports clear of debris, rinse off pool splash or heavy pollen occasionally, and let it dry before covering. No patina, no refinishing; the OPT-REFS8 series is essentially a set-and-forget component.
Can a feature built with this pan sit on a wood deck?
It can, if the enclosure is engineered for it: non-combustible construction, the clearances from the spec sheet, and a proper barrier between burner heat and the deck framing. Gas features are deck-friendlier than wood fires, but have your installer sign off on the design first.
How hot does a linear burner like this get?
Hot enough that flame height and heat output scale with the length you order — a 96-inch OPT-REFS896 warms a whole seating wall. Exact ratings per size are on the spec sheet; whichever you choose, keep furniture and combustibles outside the listed clearances.
What is the fastest way to build a fire table around it?
Frame the table, cut an opening sized to the 8-inch pan, set it in, and finish the top in tile or stone — the exact anatomy of a production fire pit table, minus the markup. Your gas professional runs the line and mounts the key valve.
Can I put an outdoor rug near the finished fire feature?
Keep rugs and other combustibles outside the clearances in the spec sheet — never under or against the enclosure. Radiant heat off an 8-inch linear flame travels farther than people expect. Hard surfaces like pavers or concrete around the feature are the safer framing.
