Submerged combustion burner panels, submerged combustion melters including one or more of the panels, and methods of using the same. The burner panel includes a panel body including a fluid-cooled portion and a protective non-fluid cooled portion. An exterior surface defined by the fluid-cooled portion, and an interior surface defined by the protective non-fluid cooled portion, exterior and interior referring to an SCM in which the panel is installed. The fluid-cooled portion has at least one burner support passage of diameter (d1) extending from the exterior surface to a seam where the fluid-cooled and protective non-fluid cooled portions meet supporting at least one fluid-cooled SC burner having a fluid-cooled burner tip attached to a burner body protruding away from the seam. The protective non-fluid-cooled portion has a combustion products flow passage of diameter (d2)
