Square drop-in pan with lotus burner: a lipped pan and a five-petal flame, 16.5 to 48 inches
The Outdoor Plus square drop-in pan and lotus burner is USA-made stainless steel. Its stainless pan has short side walls and a lip that rests on the opening’s rim, so it hangs inside your square enclosure and holds lava rock or fire glass. The burner’s five looped petals around a center hub make pointed flames like an opening flower, not a square. Sizes are 16.5, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 48 inches.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. For placement atop the enclosure, consider the rimless square flat pan with lotus burner. The square 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 a Lotus burner gain from a recessed square pan?
Mystery — the sculpted burner sits below the finished surface, so its tall bloom of flame appears to grow straight out of the structure with no hardware at the rim. Among the square drop-in sets, the OPT-PBSLF is the one guests walk over to inspect.
Which sizes does the OPT-PBSLF line offer?
Six: 16.5, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 48 inches square, OPT-PBSLF16 through OPT-PBSLF48, each hanging on its rim in a cut-out dimensioned by the spec sheet. Even the 16.5-inch keeps the full vertical flame character.
What are the ignition tiers?
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). A tall column in a sunken bed favors Flame Sense — wind-outs shut the gas down without you noticing.
How should the recessed bed be dressed?
Minimal fire glass, level and low, leaving the Lotus tiers standing clear — the sculpture is the point and the sunken pan already frames it. Heavy media piles or chunky rock climb the burner and blur the bloom you chose it for.
Would it carry a statement fire table?
Emphatically — a 24 or 30-inch OPT-PBSLF centered in a broad top gives a custom fire pit table a vertical centerpiece no ring burner matches. Size the tabletop generously; the bloom deserves distance from glassware and elbows.
How much overhead room does the flame need?
More than most burners — the Lotus concentrates flame into a rising column, so the spec sheet’s overhead clearances are the governing constraint, especially under pergolas or near low eaves. Open sky is its natural setting; covered plans need a gas professional’s clearance check first.
Is the fuel decided when I order?
Yes — natural gas or liquid propane, built into the set at the factory per your purchase, with no field conversion intended. Because this pan disappears into finished masonry, confirming the site’s fuel with your installer beforehand is essential.
