Know before you buy
No, this fire bowl is designed to be left outdoors year-round. It is constructed from thick American steel that develops a natural patina finish, which protects the metal from the elements without needing any maintenance or protective covers.
The bowl features a built-in drain at the bottom to prevent water from pooling inside. If you prefer to keep the bowl completely sealed, it includes a 4-inch blocking plate that can be easily installed to cover the drain.
The fire bowl arrives as raw steel and will naturally oxidize when exposed to moisture and air. Over time, it develops a rich, deep iron oxide patina that acts as a protective layer and gives the piece its signature rustic, earthy aesthetic.
Yes, weighing in at 80 pounds and constructed from .148-inch thick steel, the Fire Flower is substantial and stable. Its hollow base design provides a low center of gravity, making it very secure for outdoor use.
Because the bowl sits on a hollow base and generates significant heat, we recommend placing it on a non-combustible surface like stone, concrete, or brick. If you must place it on a wooden deck, you should use a heat-resistant fire pit mat or a stone pad underneath to prevent heat damage to the wood.
