San Juan Fire Pit in Stainless Steel: a low linear fire pit with a hidden tank door
The Outdoor Plus San Juan fire pit in stainless steel is a long, low gas fire pit in five lengths from 48 to 96 inches, handmade in the USA. Stainless keeps its brushed look through winters and salt air with only an occasional wash, and a wide swinging door in the body hides a propane tank inside the pit.
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, fittings, and tank door are included; a key valve, cover, stainless lid, wind guard, and fire glass are optional. Want color instead of bare metal? See the powder-coated San Juan. The stainless San Juan fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does stainless steel bring to the San Juan?
Permanence without upkeep. The stainless San Juan will not rust, streak, or patina — it holds its brushed-metal look through winters, sprinklers, and salt air with just an occasional wash. Paired with the low-profile silhouette, it is the most architectural, modern build of this series.
Which lengths can I get the stainless San Juan in?
Five, from generous to enormous: 48, 60, 72, 84, and 96 inches — SKUs OPT-SANJSS48 through OPT-SANJSS96. All share the same low height, so the stainless San Juan works as a ribbon of flame along a pool deck or terrace edge.
What ignition choices exist for the San Juan?
Two, at opposite ends of the spectrum: Match Lit, which needs no power at all, and Plug and Play (CSA certified), which lights electronically at the press of a control. The San Juan series skips the in-between systems, so pick ritual or button when you order.
How do you light the Match Lit version?
Open the gas gently at the valve and touch a long-reach lighter to the burner — the San Juan lights along its length in a second or two. No priming, no pumping; shutting down is the same motion in reverse.
Can the long San Juan go on a wood deck?
Often, yes — gas means no embers, and the load spreads across the San Juan long footprint. Confirm the deck framing for the 84- and 96-inch sizes, keep every spec clearance, and consider a heat-spreading pad. Many gas fire pit installs live happily on decks.
What will it do to my gas bill?
Less than you fear. On natural gas the stainless San Juan costs roughly what good porch lighting does per evening; on propane, moderate flame stretches a 20-pound tank across several sessions — the hidden compartment holds the tank, and the key valve holds the budget.
Can you cook over it?
Treat the San Juan as a marshmallow-and-skewers fire, not a grill. Food drippings foul the burner ports and media and flare unpredictably, and this piece is engineered for ambiance. Toast dessert at the flame tips; leave dinner to the barbecue.
