I have built many custom fire pits working in the landscaping/hardscape industry and this is by far the easiest to use product I have come across. The build quality is great and it has held up great. I used this at my home and have extensivly used the fire pit over the past 2 years. There have been no issues at all and it has held up great. Sometimes with lesser quality stainless you still get some rust, but this has no rust to speak of. My only complaint would be that the H burner "floats" inside the pan. In my application there is nothing that holds the burner down on the pan. The gas flex line wants to push the burner up. Even the weight of the fire glass will not hold it down. I fixed this problem by using an old set of vice grips to hold the burner down from the underside of the pan. There would also be other easy ways to fix this issue. It would be nice to see some kind of setting ring or something on the bottom of the pan.

Am building a coffee table fit pit, will be the centerpiece of an outdoor kitchen. Connected a propane bottle today to see how much flame and heat it puts out. On low (barely lit), it puts out a nice even flame and some noticeable heat if you're standing close by. On high, I suspect you can see the flames from the space station. Might spread more evenly when we add the fire glass but it's plenty warm. I agree with some of the other reviewers that I'll need to secure the H-burner to the pan somehow because it's just resting loosely on the supports. All things considered, it seems like good quality and value.

Easy to install and looks fantastic - need to get gas lines that don't have ribs - else it will whistle - reducing the gas pressure doesn't fix that. I get about 10 to 15 inches of flame. I built a base with pavers and dropped the tray into it - added electric ignitor - make sure it has two ignitors - one for each side - you only need one ignition switch - I used Brinkmann Universal Electronic Ignitor. I have a free standing Costco umbrella that sits high over the top to keep the rain out of the pan! We also made the call to keep it close to the wall - it provides a seat - and we can move furniture in almost any configuration - maximize space.
