Know before you buy
At 50 pounds, the boulder is substantial enough to remain stable in most residential garden settings. However, if you live in an area with extreme wind gusts, you may want to place it on a level surface or consider adding a small amount of hidden ballast inside the base.
Yes, the included burner kit is compatible with both fuel types. If you decide to switch from propane to natural gas, you will need to adjust the burner setup and ensure you have the appropriate gas line connection for your home.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is specifically engineered for outdoor durability. It is weather-resistant and designed to withstand temperature fluctuations, though we recommend covering the unit or storing it during extreme winter conditions to preserve the finish.
While the quick-disconnect system makes the setup straightforward, we recommend having a licensed professional handle the initial gas line installation to ensure all local safety codes and leak-testing requirements are met.
The kit includes the stainless steel burner, regulator, and hosing, but it does not come with decorative fire media. You will need to purchase fire-rated lava rock or fire glass separately to cover the burner and complete the look.
The GFRC material is heat-resistant, but the area immediately surrounding the burner will become hot during operation. Use caution when near the unit while the fire is lit and allow the boulder to cool completely before touching the top surface.
