The American Fire Products Round Flat Fire Pit Kit with AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) is designed for custom-built fire pits that require reliable performance and advanced safety. This system combines commercial-grade ignition technology with simple, user-friendly operation, allowing you to ignite your fire feature at the flick of a switch or push of a button.
The flat pan design provides a stable platform for the burner, pilot assembly, and valve box, all mounted beneath the pan for a clean, serviceable installation that remains completely hidden from view.
Available in multiple sizes and in both Natural Gas and Propane configurations, this kit is suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial fire features.
This model forms part of a wider range of electronic ignition kits from American Fire Products. If you are exploring alternative shapes or configurations, you can view the full Electronic Ignition Kit collection.
AWEIS Electronic Ignition System
The AWEIS system is engineered specifically for outdoor fire features, delivering dependable ignition and continuous flame monitoring in all weather conditions.
Using hot surface ignition with an intermittent pilot sequence, the system constantly monitors flame presence. If the flame is lost, it will automatically attempt re-ignition. If re-ignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply is shut off to ensure safety.
The system can be wired to a wall switch or paired with an optional remote control for convenient on and off operation. A manual gas shut-off valve must always be installed upstream and turned off when the unit is not in use.
Round Flat Pan and Burner Construction
Each kit includes a round flat pan and a matching ring burner, both constructed from 100% 304 stainless steel for long-term durability in outdoor environments.
The flat pan design is ideal for custom fire pit builds, creating a recessed platform for fire media while keeping all components hidden for a clean, professional finish.
Available Sizes and Burner Configurations
Round Flat Fire Pit Kits are available in:
- 12 inch
- 18 inch
- 24 inch
- 30 inch
- 36 inch
The 30-inch and 36-inch models offer two burner options:
- Standard-capacity burner
- High-capacity burner, designed to better match the pan size and deliver significantly higher BTU output
High-capacity models require careful consideration due to potential gas supply limitations.
All sizes are available in Natural Gas or Propane configurations.
