Product Highlights
U.S. CORTEN Weathering Steel Bowl
The 40" fire bowl is precision-formed from U.S. CORTEN steel, a weathering steel that develops a stable, protective patina rather than ongoing rust. The result is a surface that ages naturally into warm copper and amber tones while resisting outdoor exposure over time.
Multiple Base Configurations
Choose from Short Round, Short Euro, or No Base — each offering a different aesthetic and installation application. Stainless steel base variants are also available for a cleaner, more contemporary finish.
Built-In Ready (No Base Option)
The No Base configuration supplies the bowl only, designed for integration into custom masonry, outdoor kitchens, or other built-in fire feature designs where a freestanding base is not needed.
Wood-Burning, Open-Flame Design
This is a fire-only model — no cooktop, no burner inserts. Load seasoned hardwood, light, and relax. Charcoal can also be used as an alternative fuel source. The open design produces a full, ambient flame visible from all sides.
Made in the USA
The bowl and bases are made in the United States from heavy-gauge steel, with precision forming for consistent quality.
Architectural Silhouette
The clean, modern form of the Classic 40" is designed to complement contemporary and transitional outdoor spaces. It functions as both a heat source and a visual centerpiece for patios, courtyards, and garden areas.
