For making a round model, you might like the Creating Complex Geometry chapter of the PyroSim Manual:

In particular, have a look at Rotating an Object:

As far as the fire goes, I don''t know enough to give any advice on how you should do it. You might want to have a look at the ethanol pan validation problem that comes with FDS as a guide (attached).
