Know before you buy
Yes, the Marseille Fire Bowl is compatible with both natural gas and propane. You must specify your preferred fuel type at the time of purchase, as the internal components are configured differently for each.
The bowl has a generous capacity and requires either 130 pounds of fire glass or 60 pounds of lava coals to properly cover the burner and achieve the desired aesthetic.
The Bluetooth Fyrestarter system is highly recommended if you prioritize convenience, as it allows you to ignite the fire and adjust settings directly from your smartphone or the included remote. The standard valve requires manual ignition, which is a more traditional, hands-on process.
Yes, weighing in at 195 pounds, the glass fiber reinforced concrete construction provides significant stability. It is designed to remain securely in place on your patio without the need for additional anchoring.
Not at all. Despite its 10.5-inch height, the 16-inch star burner delivers a robust 60,000 BTUs, providing plenty of warmth for surrounding seating areas.
Because this unit involves gas line connections, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or gas technician to ensure the installation meets local safety codes and manufacturer requirements.
