Carmen Fire Pit in Stainless Steel: a six-foot linear fire pit with zero upkeep
The Outdoor Plus Carmen fire pit in stainless steel is a six-foot linear gas fire pit that serves as a centerpiece or a bright divider between outdoor rooms. Stainless never rusts or changes color, and you can choose a low 16-inch height or a 24-inch height that hides a propane tank inside. It puts out up to 65,000 BTUs.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. The burner, pan, hose, and fittings are included; a key valve, cover, stainless lid, wind guard, and fire glass are optional. Want a metal that ages? See the Corten steel Carmen. The stainless Carmen fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What’s the appeal of the stainless steel Carmen?
Zero-drama longevity. The stainless Carmen doesn’t patina, rust, or ask for anything beyond an occasional wipe — it keeps its bright machined character through weather that transforms its Corten and copper siblings. For modern, poolside, or coastal settings, it’s the default answer.
What sizes and SKUs does the stainless Carmen offer?
A 72-inch linear body at two heights: OPT-CRMSS7216 (16 inches tall) and OPT-CRMSS7224 (24 inches tall). Low profile for lounge and pool areas; taller for conventional seating heights. The burner system is identical in both.
What’s included with the stainless Carmen?
Everything but the media and the gas hookup: fire pan, plate burner, mounting bracket, an orifice built to your declared fuel, and a whistle-free hose. Top with fire glass or lava rock, have a licensed installer connect it, done.
Can the stainless Carmen sit on an outdoor rug?
No — give the Carmen a hard non-combustible footing of stone, pavers, or concrete. A 72-inch stainless linear carries real weight and radiates heat downward; rugs and soft flooring belong out at the seating zone, not under the burner line.
Do backyard rules allow a pit like this?
Almost always — the stainless Carmen is gas-fired, so the smoke and ember restrictions that limit wood fires rarely apply, even during many burn bans. Local setback rules, HOA review, and licensed gas work remain your three boxes to tick.
S’mores without the campfire — does it deliver?
It does — clean gas flame means marshmallows caramelize instead of picking up smoke, and the Carmen’s long flame line keeps several skewers working at once. Sticky drips wipe off brushed stainless more forgivingly than off almost any other finish.
Which fuel should I order?
Whichever your space supplies — each Carmen is factory-configured for natural gas or liquid propane at purchase. If you’re undecided between tank flexibility and plumbed convenience, our gas fire pit team talks buyers through it daily.
