The American Fire Products Linear Drop-In Fire Pit Kit with AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) is designed for narrow, elongated fire features where a clean installation and streamlined flame presentation are required.
Electronic ignition systems offer the highest level of safety, combined with the convenience of operating your fire feature at the flick of a switch or press of a button.
The drop-in pan features an integrated lip that rests on the fire pit opening, supporting the stainless steel T burner, pilot assembly, and AWEIS valve box mounted beneath.
Available in multiple lengths and in both Natural Gas and Propane configurations, this kit is ideal for fire tables and other slim fire feature designs.

AWEIS Electronic Ignition System
The AWEIS system is specifically engineered for outdoor fire features, delivering reliable ignition and continuous flame monitoring in all weather conditions.
Using hot-surface ignition with an intermittent pilot sequence, the system detects the presence of flame at all times. If the flame is lost, it will automatically attempt re-ignition. If unsuccessful, the gas supply is shut off as a safety precaution.
The system can be wired to a wall switch or paired with an optional remote control for simple on/off operation. A manual gas shut-off valve should always be installed upstream and turned off when not in use.
Linear Drop-In Pan and T Burner Construction
Each kit includes a rectangular drop-in pan and a T-style burner, both constructed from 100% 304 stainless steel for durability in outdoor environments.
The pan maintains a consistent narrow width across all lengths, while the T burner runs in a single line down the center, creating a clean, linear flame pattern.
This design is ideal for fire tables and installations where space is limited.
Available Sizes and Burner Configurations
Linear Drop-In Fire Pit Kits are available in:
- 30 inch x 6 inch
- 36 inch x 6 inch
- 48 inch x 6 inch
- 60 inch x 6 inch
- 72 inch x 6 inch
Each size includes a burner matched to the pan for consistent flame performance.
All sizes are available in Natural Gas or Propane configurations.
Understanding Pan Dimensions
Pan size refers to the internal recessed dimensions and excludes the lip, which extends 1.25 inches on all sides.
For example, a 30-inch x 6-inch pan will have an overall dimension of approximately 32.5 inches x 8.5 inches when the lip is included.
