Round drop-in pan with lotus burner: a lipped pan and a five-petal flame, 19 to 43 inches
The Outdoor Plus round drop-in pan and lotus burner has five looped petals around a center hub for pointed, flower-shaped flames, not a plain ring. Its USA-made stainless pan has a short rim wall and a lip that rests on the enclosure, so it hangs inside the opening and holds lava rock or fire glass. Choose 19, 25, 31, 37, or 43 inches across.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. Prefer a rimless pan across the top? Try the round flat pan with lotus burner. The round drop-in pan and lotus burner ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does the Lotus look like rising from a drop-in pan?
Like the fire is blooming out of the structure itself — the sculpted burner sits in a recessed bed, so the tall central flame appears from below the surface with no visible hardware at the rim. It is the most dramatic pairing in the round drop-in line.
Which sizes does the OPT-PBRLF series come in?
Five: 19, 25, 31, 37 and 43 inches. Note there is no 13-inch option here — the Lotus needs room around its tiers to breathe and bloom, so the line starts at 19 inches. Cut-out dimensions per size are on the specification sheets.
What ignition choices pair with the Lotus burner?
Match lit pan-and-burner, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified) and Plug and Play (CSA certified). With a tall bloom in a recessed bed, many builders order Flame Sense so wind-outs shut the gas down automatically.
Would this work beside a swimming pool?
Beautifully — a Lotus flame reflected in water is a resort move, and the drop-in pan builds cleanly into bond beams and raised walls where pool fire bowl features usually live. Pool-adjacent gas work belongs to your pool contractor and a licensed gas fitter together.
How much clearance does the tall flame need from the house?
Treat the Lotus conservatively: its vertical flame makes overhead and lateral clearances on the OPT-PBRLF spec sheet the design constraints, alongside local code for distance from structures. Fix placement before the gas trench is cut — especially in courtyard builds where walls crowd in.
What goes around the burner in the pan?
A shallow, level layer of fire glass — enough to floor the recessed bed without climbing the sculpted tiers. The Lotus is the show; media is the stage. Oversized lava chunks crowd the bloom and are better saved for plainer burners.
Can I change fuel type down the road?
Plan not to — each Lotus set is factory-built for natural gas or liquid propane per your order, and swapping later is not the design intent. If a property fuel change is genuinely on the horizon, mention it before ordering and we will help you time it right.
