La Jolla Fire Pit in Stainless Steel: a low linear fire pit with no finish to maintain
The Outdoor Plus La Jolla fire pit in stainless steel is a long, low rectangular gas fire pit, 28 inches deep and 48, 60, 72, 84, or 96 inches long, handmade in the USA. Stainless never rusts or changes color, so a soapy wash keeps it bright, and the long burner lays a ribbon of flame before a whole row of seats.
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. Prefer a finish that weathers? See the Corten steel La Jolla. The stainless La Jolla fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Is the stainless steel La Jolla hard to maintain?
It is the easiest finish in the La Jolla family. Stainless does not rust, patina, or need sealing — an occasional wash with soapy water and a soft cloth keeps the brushed surface bright. If you want the linear-flame look with zero finish upkeep, this is the version to buy.
What sizes does the stainless La Jolla offer?
The stainless La Jolla runs 48, 60, 72, 84, or 96 inches long, all 28 inches deep — SKUs OPT-LAJSS48 through OPT-LAJSS96. Five lengths make it easy to match the fire run to a pool edge, seating wall, or the full width of an outdoor room.
Which ignition systems does it support?
The complete The Outdoor Plus slate: Match Lit, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), and Plug and Play (CSA certified). For a sleek stainless piece like the La Jolla, push-button electronic ignition completes the modern effect.
Will the stainless La Jolla work under a patio cover?
Possibly, but treat it as an engineering question, not a style one. An open-sided structure with generous height and airflow may satisfy code; a snug roof will not. Check the La Jolla clearance requirements on the spec sheet and get your local inspector to sign off before installing.
Should I run fire glass or lava rock in the pan?
With brushed stainless, fire glass is the natural partner — clear or colored glass doubles the sparkle along the La Jolla burner run. Lava rock works fine too and costs less, reading more rustic. Both do the same job of spreading flame and shielding the burner.
Propane or natural gas — which does it use?
Either — the stainless La Jolla is built to order for Liquid Propane or Natural Gas, chosen at checkout. Everything in our gas fire pit category from The Outdoor Plus works this way: the unit arrives matched to your fuel, ready for a licensed hookup.
Will a long burner like this eat through gas?
It uses more than a small bowl, less than people fear. Consumption scales with the La Jolla length you choose and the flame height you run — a 96-inch unit at full roar is a showpiece moment, while everyday ambiance height sips fuel. Natural gas is the cheaper fuel per hour.
