Skyflame 18-Inch Round Fire Pit Burner Ring — 304 Stainless Steel, Double-Ring 147,000 BTU

The Skyflame 18-inch round burner ring is a 304 stainless steel double-ring fire pit insert built for long-lasting rust resistance and high-output flames up to 147,000 BTU.

This precision-machined burner ring fits 18-inch round fire pit housings and delivers a reliable, even flame for patio and backyard fire features. Built from corrosion-resistant #304 stainless steel and engineered with dual concentric rings plus three support bars, the Skyflame burner is designed for both natural gas and liquid propane installations (an air mixer valve is required for propane). Its drilled ports and 1/2" NPT inlet focus on steady gas flow, reduced whistling, and predictable ignition — ideal for decorative fire glass, lava rock, or open-flame accents.

How does this burner ring produce a consistent flame across the pit?

The Skyflame design uses a double concentric ring to spread gas evenly through the burner perimeter while three internal support bars stabilize the structure. Ports are machine-drilled rather than punched, which helps maintain even gas pressure and prevents noisy airflow. The result is a more uniform flame pattern and improved visual appeal around decorative media.

• Double-ring layout for even gas distribution
• Machine-drilled holes to smooth gas flow and reduce whistling
• Three bars provide mechanical support and consistent port spacing

Can I use this with natural gas and propane?

Yes — the burner supports both fuel types, but propane requires an air mixer valve for correct combustion. The unit ships with the propane tips pre-installed; if using propane, add the compatible air mixer (Skyflame part B07CVFCC93 recommended). Natural gas installations connect directly to the 1/2" NPT inlet while following local codes.

• 1/2" NPT inlet for standard gas hookups
• Propane requires an air mixer valve for safe operation
• Manufacturer-recommended air mixer SKU: B07CVFCC93

What makes the construction durable for outdoor use?

This burner is fabricated from #304 stainless steel to resist rust and extend service life in outdoor conditions. The thicker-gauge stainless and machine-drilled ports reduce premature wear and help maintain clean, efficient gas flow. Proper installation and routine inspection will further protect the unit from weathering and buildup from decorative media.

• #304 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Precision drilling avoids stress points common with punched holes
• Design tolerates common fire pit media like glass and lava rock

How do I install and style this burner ring in my fire pit?

Installation involves securing the 18-inch ring into your fire pit bowl, connecting the 1/2" NPT gas line, and testing for leaks per local safety codes. After the burner is tested and adjusted, cover the ring with a non-combustible bed such as fire glass or lava rock to conceal the hardware and highlight the flames. Keep a gap around the inlet and any control components to maintain ventilation and service access.

• Secure burner and connect gas supply to 1/2" NPT inlet
• Test for leaks and correct gas pressure before first use
• Top with fire glass or lava rocks, keeping control area accessible

Who is this for: The Skyflame 18-inch 304 stainless steel burner ring suits homeowners, landscapers, and outdoor-living installers who want a durable, high-output insert for custom or retrofit fire pits. It’s a good fit for projects that demand even flames, low maintenance, and compatibility with decorative media. If you need propane operation, plan to source or install the recommended air mixer valve; for natural gas, this ring provides a straightforward drop-in solution that balances performance and longevity.
