Vent your gas fire pit or grill surround the right way with the Pave Tool Quick-E-Fire Vent 11 in x 3.5 in, a flame-cutout stainless steel vent that turns a code requirement into a design detail. The face carries a row of flame shapes cut through 10-gauge (1/8") stainless steel, so it reads as a deliberate accent against stone or block veneer instead of a hardware afterthought. Behind the face, the 8.75" deep body sits inside the wall cavity and gives trapped gas and heat a clear path out of the enclosure.
Key Features
-
Code-ready airflow: Each vent opens 11 sq in of free airflow, meeting the ventilation requirements for gas appliances set inside an enclosed surround.
-
Stainless that stays put: 10-gauge (1/8") high-grade stainless steel will not rust or warp through years of heat, rain and freeze-thaw.
-
Flame-cutout face: The fire vent pattern sets a built-in fire feature apart from one finished with a plain louver, and the stainless finish pairs with any veneer color.
-
Sized for masonry surrounds: The 11" x 3.5" face and 8.75" depth are proportioned to set into a block or veneer course without special framing.

How to Install It
Plan vent placement before the veneer goes on. Follow the burner or fire-feature manufacturer’s ventilation guidance for how many vents the enclosure needs and where they belong, then leave a rough opening sized for the 11" x 3.5" face and 8.75" depth. Set the vent so the stainless face sits flush with the finished surface, and keep the opening behind it clear of mortar and debris so air can move freely. For a matched look across a larger outdoor kitchen, pair this fire vent with the Quick-E-Classic Vent in its lattice pattern. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps the stainless face bright.

Pave Tool Quick-E-Fire Vent, 11" x 3.5" face, is a 10-gauge (1/8") stainless steel ventilation grille for gas fire pit and grill surrounds. Model NT037. 11 sq in of free airflow per unit, 8.75" body depth. Flame-cutout face doubles as a finish accent, so it can be spec'd on the visible face of the enclosure rather than hidden at the back. Take-off: count vents per the burner manufacturer's ventilation table for the enclosure volume and BTU rating, and place low and high on opposing faces per that guidance.
Key Features
- Airflow: 11 sq in per vent. Satisfies gas-appliance ventilation code when the vent count matches the burner manufacturer's requirement.
- Material: 10-gauge (1/8") high-grade stainless steel. No rust, no warp under sustained heat, rain and freeze-thaw cycling.
- Dimensions: 11" x 3.5" face, 8.75" deep. Proportioned to a standard block or veneer course; no custom framing.
- Finish: Stainless with flame-cutout pattern. Sells as an upgrade over a plain louver on custom fire features.
- Line: Part of the Pave Tool Quick-E hardscape system; the Classic Vent (lattice pattern) shares the same gauge and construction for matched installs.
Installation
Set vent positions on the layout before veneer. Leave a rough opening for the 11" x 3.5" face with 8.75" of clear depth behind it, keep the cavity open to the burner compartment, and do not fill behind the vent with mortar or core fill. Set the face flush with the finished veneer plane. Where multiple vents are required, distribute them per the burner manufacturer's spacing. Cleanup is a damp wipe on the stainless face after grouting.
Spec Notes
Vent count is the burner manufacturer's call, not the vent's; this unit supplies 11 sq in each and the enclosure spec sets the total. Group vents by enclosure on the take-off (fire pit, grill island, pizza oven base) and list them as a separate line from veneer so the mason sets rough openings on the first course rather than cutting after the fact. Because the face is stainless rather than painted steel, there is no touch-up or replacement cycle to price into a maintenance contract, and heat from a gas burner does not discolor it. On outdoor kitchens that mix a fire feature with a grill surround, standardize on one Pave Tool vent pattern or mix the Fire and Classic faces deliberately; both are the same gauge and depth, so the framing detail is identical either way. Ships at 2.2 lb per unit; sold per unit.
