The Fire by Design Aura Rectangle Fire Pit is a GFRC linear gas fire pit table available in two sizes: a 55" × 30" Aspen Rectangle and a 78" × 32" Aura Rectangle. Configured for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane. Each unit includes a factory-integrated glass wind screen with brackets. Rated for permanent outdoor installation. Built to order in the USA — 6–8 week lead time. Contractors specify the Aura Rectangle for long dining tables, linear pool edges, and outdoor living rooms where a rectangular fire feature is required. The linear burner produces a wall-of-flame effect across the length of the fire insert. Why the Fire by Design Aura Rectangle Fire Pit Is Different GFRC construction — frost-resistant, UV-stable, structurally superior to poured concrete. The linear single burner produces a continuous flame rather than a ring — more appropriate for rectangular table settings. A factory-integrated glass wind screen is included, which is essential for exposed sites and required to maintain proper flame at linear burners. AWEIS 24VAC ignition — commercial-grade, field-serviceable. 304 stainless steel burner hardware. 19 GFRC color options at no upcharge. Features GFRC construction: Frost-resistant, UV-stable, no rust. AWEIS ignition (24VAC): All-Weather Electronic Ignition System with field-serviceable pilot burner. Rated in rain and sustained 55 mph wind. 316 stainless steel single linear burner: 26" burner on 55" model (37K BTU); 44" burner on 78" model (62K BTU). 316 SS selected for superior corrosion resistance on linear burners. Factory-integrated glass wind screen: 39.5" × 15" on 55" model; 63" × 17" on 78" model. Included with brackets. Tabletop surface: 8" (55" model), 11" (78" model). Thermopile safety shutoff: Automatic gas cutoff on flame-out. 24V transformer included: Requires 120VAC GFCI outlet. LP models include air mixer and safety backup valve. 19 GFRC color options. 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Weight: 290 lbs. (55") or 395 lbs. (78"). The 78" unit requires appropriate liftgate or dock equipment. Liftgate service required at most residential sites. Inspect before signing the BOL; photograph any damage within 48 hours. Installation Requires a licensed gas professional. Set on a non-combustible, structurally sound surface. The AWEIS system requires a dedicated 120VAC GFCI outlet per NEC and AHJ. Both sizes use 1/2" NPT gas inlet. The glass wind screen must be installed per the included instructions — linear burners require wind protection for reliable ignition. AHJ inspection required before first fire.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the 55" Aspen and the 78" Aura Rectangle? The Aspen (55" × 30") is a shorter, narrower table suited for 4-person seating or tight spaces. The Aura (78" × 32") accommodates 6-person layouts. The Aspen uses a 26" linear burner (37K BTU); the Aura uses a 44" burner (62K BTU). Why is the BTU output lower than round fire pits? Linear burners are designed for flame effect — a long, low flame across the insert — rather than radiant heat output. The visual footprint is larger; the BTU output per linear inch is lower by design. Is the glass wind screen required? The wind screen is strongly recommended for all sites and required for reliable ignition on exposed installations. It is factory-included with brackets — install it per the instructions. Natural Gas or Propane available in both sizes? Yes. LP kits include air mixer and safety backup valve. Order the correct SKU for fuel type. What is the lead time? 6–8 weeks.
