The American Fire Products Rectangular Flat Fire Pit Kit with AWEIS (All Weather Electronic Ignition System) is designed for custom-built fire features that require a clean, recessed installation and reliable electronic ignition.
Electronic ignition systems provide 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 flat pan supports the stainless steel H burner, pilot assembly, and AWEIS valve box mounted beneath, creating a stable and serviceable installation that remains completely hidden from view.
Available in multiple linear sizes and configured for Natural Gas only, this kit is ideal for larger residential and commercial fire features.

AWEIS Electronic Ignition System
The AWEIS system is specifically designed 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.
Rectangular Flat Pan and H Burner Construction
Each kit includes a rectangular flat pan and a matching H burner, both constructed from 100% 304 stainless steel for long-term durability in outdoor environments.
The flat pan design creates a recessed platform for fire media while keeping all components hidden. Integrated weep holes help prevent water accumulation, supporting proper drainage and long-term performance.
The H burner design is ideal for rectangular fire features, producing an even, linear flame pattern across the length of the pan.
