Introducing Our Penta Burners

It not only looks different, but it also burns differently with lava rock & especially with glass media. It is designed to deliver a very uniform & full flame from edge to edge – a dramatically different look than the conventional high-center flame given by standard fire rings.

This is accomplished by utilizing holes drilled at the 3, 9, & 12 o’clock positions of the stainless steel tubing for a broader flame. If you enjoy your flame on low, this will not exhibit the ring pattern seen with some concentric fire rings.

The burner uses our raised hub design to shed water and is low profile requiring less media.

  • For optimal flame height, we recommend at least 300,000 BTU
  • Available for natural gas or LP Liquid propane.
For LP Liquid Propane you must add air mixing orifice.
Add a custom burner plate/pan to support the burner and fill material.

    What is included with the burner?

    ​​The listing includes the burner only.

    Can the burner be used with both LP and NG?

    It works with either LP (liquid propane) or NG (natural gas). An air mixing orifice is required for LP.

    Is professional installation required for the burner?

    Professional installation by a licensed gas plumber or NFI-certified installer is recommended. Our manual covers the steps and safety.

    What is the heat output range of the burner?

    BTUs range from 65,000 to 300,000 depending on burner size.

    Can I use this burner in a DIY fire pit?

    Yes, follow safe construction guidelines for any custom fire pit.

    Is the burner compatible with a glass wind guard?

    Absolutely, ensure it sits 1" outside the burner area opening.

    What materials is the burner made from?

    304-grade stainless steel.

    Is the burner suitable for residential and commercial use?

    Suitable for both, commercial setups may need flame sensing for code compliance (a CSA-certified system).

    What is the warranty for the burner?

    Lifetime

    How should I clean and maintain the burner?

    No required maintenance for the burner itself.

    Can I use fire glass or lava rocks with the burner?

    Any approved media works with both fuel types. Darker glass and larger sizes are suggested with LP.

    Are there customization options available for the Penta Burner?

    The Penta Burner itself is not customizable.

    Is the burner compatible with remote control or smart home systems?

    We offer specific complete electronic ignition systems with remote or home automation for this burner and other designs.

    What's the difference between a Torpedo burner and other burner types?

    A Torpedo burner produces a distinctive "torpedo" camp-fire flame pattern with enhanced efficiency and heat distribution. The choice depends on user preferences for aesthetics and performance.

    How many BTUs should my fire pit burner have and how does it affect the flame?

    BTUs, or British Thermal Units, are influenced by various factors in your gas setup, not just the burner itself. These include gas line pressure, pipe size, length, and valve system, which collectively determine the BTUs supplied to the burner. Our burners typically have a rating of 600,000+ BTU, yet actual delivery depends on your setup. For example, if you only deliver 65,000 BTU to the burner, your flame will be at 65,000 BTU. The more BTUs, the taller the flame. Larger burners require more BTUs to have a large flame. We label burners with suggested BTUs for a 16-20-inch campfire-like flame. A 24-inch burner needs 150,000 BTU for this. Lower BTUs yield a smaller flame, and higher BTUs a taller one.
