The Outdoor Plus round flat pan and lotus burner is a USA-made insert for custom round fire pits. Its rimless stainless steel plate rests atop your enclosure, hidden under lava rock or fire glass.

Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. Have a lipped opening?

FAQ
What makes a Lotus burner worth the upgrade?
It is the theatrical option: a tiered, flower-form stainless burner that pulls flame upward into a tall central bloom instead of a low ring. On the round flat pan the effect is a torch rising from glass — you buy the Lotus for drama, not subtlety.
What sizes does the round Lotus set come in?
Six SKUs, OPT-FRLB18 through OPT-FRLB48, with the size chart running 12 to 48 inches — confirm your exact pan diameter against the spec sheet when ordering. The bloom stays proportional as diameters grow, so even the compact sizes keep the vertical character.
Which ignition packages suit the round Lotus burner pan?
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). Given the Lotus’s tall flame, the Flame Sense tiers add welcome supervision in gusty locations.
Does the tall flame mean more heat?
It concentrates it — the Lotus pushes a strong vertical column, so heat rises hard above the burner while radiating generously around it. Ratings per size are on the OPT-FRLB spec sheet. Mind overhead: that vertical bloom is exactly why clearance above matters more here.
Could a Lotus anchor a fire table centerpiece?
Spectacularly — centered in a chat-height top, the bloom becomes the table’s chandelier, a look no straight burner replicates on a fire pit table. Use a generous tabletop so guests and glassware sit well back from the rising flame.
What media flatters the Lotus best?
Fire glass, filled low. The point of the OPT-FRLB is the sculpted burner and its bloom, so let the tiers show above a shallow, level bed of glass rather than heaping media around them. Reflective glass doubles the flame; chunky lava rock mostly hides the sculpture.
Is a covered patio installation realistic for this burner?
It is the hardest case — the Lotus throws flame higher than ring or linear burners, so overhead clearance and ventilation requirements work against roofed spaces. Open sky suits it best. If a cover is non-negotiable, have your gas professional run the clearance numbers first.
