The Linear Drop-In Fire Pit Kit with Electronic Ignition by The Outdoor Plus (TOP) is designed to produce a long, narrow line of flame, making it well-suited to fire features where the proportions are longer than they are wide. This configuration creates a strong sense of length and direction, even in more compact sizes. Within the TOP range, linear configurations utilise a dedicated linear burner, creating a consistent ribbon of flame along the length of the pan.
The drop-in pan design offers the simplest installation method, with an integrated lip that supports the unit within a cut-out on the fire pit structure. This self-supporting format reduces the need for additional internal support and allows for a more straightforward build process, making it a practical and reliable choice for a wide range of installations.
Configured for electronic ignition, this kit provides consistent and dependable lighting, along with built-in safety features that monitor flame presence and automatically shut off the gas supply if the flame is lost. Electronic ignition offers a high level of control and flexibility, from simple wall switches or timers to integration with pool controllers, smart home systems, or optional remote and Wi-Fi controls. A choice of sizes, voltage options, and fuel types allows the system to be tailored to suit different project requirements while maintaining a consistent linear flame presentation.
Options
Select Size
There are 9 sizes available. The length increases while the width remains a constant 6″ regardless of overall length.
Select Gas Type
Available for Natural Gas and Propane. Ensure the correct gas type is selected, as systems are not interchangeable.
Select Ignition
Electronic Ignition – Low Voltage (CSA Certified)
Low-voltage electronic ignition systems are suitable for fire features near water and are commonly used in poolside installations. The system will automatically relight if the flame is extinguished.
These systems can be connected to a wall switch, timer, remote control, pool controller, or smart home system. Remote control upgrades are available.
Electronic Ignition – Plug & play (CSA Certified)
Standard voltage (110V) electronic ignition systems are suitable for installations where mains power is available, but are not intended for use near water.
The system features flame sensing and will automatically attempt to relight if the flame is extinguished.
These systems can be connected to a standard wall switch, timer, emergency stop, or smart home system. Remote control upgrades are available.
Product Specification
Both the pan and burner are manufactured from high-quality .304 stainless steel.
As the length of the fire pit pan increases, the burner length and BTU output increase accordingly to maintain consistent flame performance across sizes.
The pans are 2″ deep with a 1″ lip. All sizes refer to the internal dimensions of the pan and do not include the lip.

Installation Considerations
For outdoor use only.
Electronic ignition systems require a minimum of 10″ clearance below the pan. With a manifold, this increases to 15″.
A gas shut-off valve must be installed externally for emergency and maintenance access. A gas key valve is recommended to allow manual flame control.
Proper ventilation of the fire pit enclosure is essential for cooling and venting residual gas. A minimum of two vents on opposing sides is required, each with at least 18 sq. inches of free air space.
Adequate drainage must be provided to prevent water accumulation within the enclosure.
