A burner kit turns a DIY fire pit or a worn-out fire table into a working gas fire feature. Kits range from a stainless ring with a valve and hose to a complete drop-in pan with ignition. Fuel type matters: propane and natural gas kits are not interchangeable without the right parts.
Gas work carries real risk. Follow the kit maker’s instructions, check every connection for leaks, and have a qualified, licensed professional install any natural gas line or anything you are unsure of; permits may be required. For finished gas fire pits, see Best Propane Fire Pits and Best Propane Fire Pit Tables, or browse the Fire Pits category.

Amazon rating: 4.5 stars from more than 660 ratings (77% 5-star, 3% 1-star).
Propane fire pits and fire tables are for outdoor use only. Never run one indoors, in a garage, tent or vehicle, or under a roof, awning or other enclosed or covered space, where carbon monoxide can build up without ventilation. Assemble, connect, leak-check and light it exactly as the manual describes, keep the clearances it lists from walls, overhead structures and anything that can burn, keep the hose away from the flame and close the tank valve after each use. Keep children and pets away from the flame and hot surfaces. Fire codes, campground rules, HOA rules and burn restrictions can cover gas fire features too, so check what applies before you light it.

How to Choose a Fire Pit Burner Kit
Fuel Type
Propane and natural gas kits use different parts. Buy the version for your fuel, and use a licensed professional for natural gas lines and any conversion.
Size to the Pit
Makers list the fire pit size each ring suits, or the cutout each pan needs. A burner that is too large for the enclosure can overheat it.
Ignition
Spark ignition kits light with a button; others need a long lighter. Either way, follow the maker's lighting sequence.
Ventilation and Media
Enclosed gas fire pits need vents so gas cannot collect inside. Use only the media the kit maker approves, and keep ports clear.
Safety First
Propane fire pits and fire tables are for outdoor use only. Never run one indoors, in a garage, tent or vehicle, or under a roof, awning or other enclosed or covered space, where carbon monoxide can build up without ventilation. Assemble, connect, leak-check and light it exactly as the manual describes, keep the clearances it lists from walls, overhead structures and anything that can burn, keep the hose away from the flame and close the tank valve after each use. Keep children and pets away from the flame and hot surfaces. Fire codes, campground rules, HOA rules and burn restrictions can cover gas fire features too, so check what applies before you light it.
How We Evaluate Fire Pit Products
For this guide we compared listings on fuel type, burner size and cutout, included valve, ignition, lines and regulator, the maker's rating and certification, and rating history. We read each maker's specifications, safety notes and warranty terms, looked at the rating history and star spread, and read the supplied owner review excerpts for recurring build, fit or assembly problems. We did not handle or measure these products ourselves, every figure comes from the maker's listing, and we never repeat a safety, weather or burn-ban claim as our own.
Variants of one listing count as a single product, and we would rather list a few strong picks than pad the list. Our full process is on the How We Review page.
FAQ
Can I convert a wood fire pit to gas with a burner kit?
Owners do, but the enclosure needs proper ventilation and a noncombustible build. Follow the kit maker's instructions and get professional help if unsure.
Can I use a propane kit on natural gas?
No. Use the kit made for your fuel, or the maker's conversion parts installed by a qualified technician.
Do I need a permit?
Natural gas lines and permanent gas features often need one. Check with your local building department.
Final Verdict
The Stanbroil 24-inch propane ring kit is the most proven choice. Choose the Stanbroil drop-in pan for a rectangular table, the Stanbroil 48-inch kit for natural gas, or a GRISUN kit if you want spark ignition.
