Bullet Burner from The Outdoor Plus

We wrote our first Bullet Burner Review a couple of years ago, motivated by our customers’ great feedback and the photos of their fire pits, specifically their flames.

Since then, the range has increased considerably; we thought it was time for an update.

For those of you who are not already familiar with the Bullet Burner, let’s start at the beginning.

These amazing-looking burners are individually handcrafted in California by The Outdoor Plus company from locally sourced materials and utilizing their patented flame technology.

The original product range consisted of a Brass Linear Burner, a Brass H-Burner, and the Brass Triple ‘S’ burner. These were all manufactured from Brass, making them extremely durable, rust, and weather-resistant, with every unit having a Lifetime Warranty.

Flat Flame Technology

The patented Flat Flame Technology compresses gas flow through the tip, incorporating oxygen and creating a taller, cleaner flame.

Unlike standard burners, Bullet Burners, when used with propane, do not require the addition of an air mixer valve.

Compared to a ‘standard’ fire pit burner of equal BTU rating, Bullet Burners create a flame about twice the height. Two to three-foot flames are the norm.

At the core of every successful fire pit project is the flame. A beautifully built fire pit with an inadequate flame does not look very impressive.

Matching a burner’s BTU rating to the available gas supply is the secret to getting the best flame from any burner, even this one. 

If you are unsure how to select your burner’s rating to match the available gas supply, we cover this in detail in our article ‘How To Successfully Build A Gas Fire Pit Part 1.

Bullet Burner Review – What’s New?

The hugely popular three original all-brass models are still available, but there is now another, and it is proving to be immensely popular.

The first thing you will notice is the Stainless Steel that replaces the Brass of the main gas ring. The Patented Gas Tip, however, is still made from Brass.

Exchanging these materials reduces the cost while maintaining durability, for a long-lasting product with the same Lifetime Warranty as the original all-brass burners.

With a wider range of burners featuring Bullet Technology, it’s easier than ever to find the ideal match for your fire pit—whether upgrading an existing setup or searching for the perfect powerhouse for a new project.

Bullet Burner Review – The Latest!

The burners are individually assembled from precision-machined components with the highest quality control standards.

Water infiltration is an issue for all fire pit burner manufacturers, and The Outdoor Plus has recently developed an innovative solution to this common problem.

A strategically placed drainage hole on the underside of the burner ring ensures that any water entering the ring can safely drain out.

During operDuring operation, gas escaping through this hole ignites, creating a flame. To manage this, a heat shield is positioned opposite the drain hole, expertly redirecting the flame upward. This clever design prevents concentrated heat from forming a hot spot, protecting the fire pit pan from potential damage.

This exceptional attention to detail highlights the superior engineering and craftsmanship that define every Bullet Burner.

Undoubtedly, the All Brass Bullet Burners are a premium product that delivers a great flame, with a price point to match.

Extending the product range and reducing the costs by utilizing stainless steel in the latest models The Outdoor Plus has made the Bullet Burner more accessible, without compromising quality or durability.

If a big flame is what you want, then a Bullet Burner is what you need!
