What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Avalon Fire & Water Bowl for its stunning aesthetic and robust, high quality construction, often using durable GFRC materials. The dual feature of fire and flowing water creates a dramatic visual impact, instantly elevating outdoor ambiance and serving as a true conversation starter. Reviewers appreciate the reliable operation and soothing water sounds. While the initial investment is significant, buyers generally feel the superior design, craftsmanship, and resulting luxury atmosphere strongly justify the expense. The primary considerations noted are the considerable weight and the need for professional installation, which adds to the overall cost. Satisfaction remains high for this premium outdoor centerpiece.
Know before you buy
The match-lit system requires you to manually light the burner with a lighter while turning on the gas valve. The electronic ignition system allows you to start the fire bowl with the push of a button or a remote, offering more convenience at a higher price point.
Yes, the Avalon Fire Bowl is designed for outdoor use and can be placed on a deck. However, ensure the surface is level and non-combustible, or use a heat-resistant pad underneath to protect your decking material from the heat generated by the base.
The unit is compatible with both natural gas and propane, but you must specify your fuel type at the time of purchase so the burner is configured correctly. Professional installation by a licensed plumber or gas technician is highly recommended to ensure safe and proper connection.
Yes, the glass-fiber reinforced concrete is specifically engineered for outdoor durability. While it is built to withstand the elements, we recommend using a protective cover during the off-season to maintain the finish and prevent debris buildup.
Absolutely. While lava rocks are included, you can use fire glass instead for a more modern aesthetic. Just ensure you use fire-rated glass specifically designed for gas fire pits to prevent cracking or popping under high heat.
The burner provides a consistent 65,000 BTUs of heat. This output is sufficient to provide a comfortable warmth for people seated around the bowl, though it is intended primarily as an ambient feature rather than a primary heating source for a large area.
