Best Basic Burner Kit

When it comes to basic fire pit design, it’s tough to beat a Spotix Penta Kit. Featuring everything you need “from burner to ball valve,” this convenient kit offers the perfect balance of performance and value. With a 304 stainless steel burner, “whistle-free” flex lines, and high-quality components, this kit is a reliable, low-hassle system to have as the centerpiece of your fire pit.

Spotix Penta kits are available in a variety of sizes and work well for both round and square fire pits and can be purchased with either a round or square pan as part of the kit. Need a custom size? No problem! If your fire pit has an unusual size, we can create a custom pan to meet your needs.

Top All-Around Burner Kit

The HPC Fire Electronic Ignition Fire Pit Kit offers a proven combination of convenience, performance and reliability. Hearth Products Controls has been a leading name in the fire pit industry for many years, and it’s easy to see why with a system like this. In addition to its durable design, HPC electronic ignition kits feature a remote control, smartphone control via Bluetooth and CSA certification to ensure the highest quality.

These kits can be purchased in a wide variety of configurations to meet the needs of your fire pit. Square, round, and linear/rectangular options are all available as well as bowl pan and flat pan options.

Best Complete Burner Kit

The Firegear Fire Pit Kit for Paver Blocks gets our top spot as a complete kit thanks to Firegear’s impressive spur burner, thermocouple manual safety spark ignition (TMSI) system and included accessories. As an added bonus, Firegear also includes enough lava rock to finish your fire pit, allowing you to complete your project more easily. Firegear’s paver kits are available as a square kit or as a round kit to meet the needs of your installation.

Most Powerful Burner Kit

Our choice for the most powerful burner systems goes to the entire Warming Trends Crossfire line. This innovative design regulates fuel with a specific air-to-gas mixture to create a brighter, taller flame presence. Make sure your system can handle the requirements of these powerful burners—some Warming Trends kits are rated for as high as 500,000 BTU!

Available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, Warming Trends burner systems meet the needs of any fire pit, and Warming Trends backs their burners with a lifetime warranty. Match light, spark ignition and electronic ignition options are also available for all fire pits, so you can truly make your fire pit one of a kind.

Need to know if there might be a better product for your project? Here are some additional factors you should consider when building your fire pit.

Custom Gas Fire Pit Burners

While all fire pits offer some level of customization, you can often save yourself time and money by doing your research ahead of time. It’s easier and faster to use a mass-produced model rather than commissioning a custom project.

With that said, not all projects will be able to use a mass-produced fire pit by design. In these scenarios, some manufacturers–like Warming Trends and HPC–will be able to create custom solutions, but not all brands have this capability.

Ignition Types

Ignition type will play a large role in the final cost of your burner kit configuration. More complex systems may come with a higher price tag, but they’ll also add convenience and, in some cases, additional features like a remote control.

Basic match light ignition kits will offer the most economical option for your fire pit and, with no mechanical parts, will also be a low-maintenance option. On the opposite end of the spectrum, electronic ignition fire pit kits will have the highest price tag but will have additional features, safety certifications, and top-tier specs. Spark ignition kits split the difference between these two options in both cost and convenience.

Fuel Supply

Always keep in mind a burner kit’s BTU ratings and other manufacturer specifications when purchasing. We recommend working with a licensed gas plumber to ensure your fire pit performs as expected. If your gas line pressure is too high, too low, or doesn’t supply enough gas to the fire pit, you’ll be left with a dissatisfying fire feature.

Even worse, failure to plan ahead can result in unplanned additional expenses to remedy the situation. Uninstalling, running new gas lines, and reinstalling your products can quickly run up your project costs.
