Key Features

• Timeless Round Silhouette: The clean, circular bowl design offers a soft, organic look that complements both ultra-modern and traditional outdoor architecture.

• High-Output Star Burner: Equipped with a 16-inch stainless steel star burner producing an impressive 65,000 BTUs. The star pattern creates a fuller, more centralized flame display compared to standard ring burners.

• Handcrafted GFRC Construction: Built from a blend of high-strength Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete and refractory cement, ensuring a structure that is resistant to heat stress, UV rays, and moisture.

• Internal Propane Storage Capability: Designed for convenience, the base is engineered to conceal a standard 20 lb. (5-gallon) propane tank internally (tank sold separately), ensuring a clean, cordless look for your patio.

• Versatile Ignition Systems: Comes standard with a battery-powered push-button spark ignition (Piezo); can be upgraded to the FyreStarter Bluetooth system for remote smartphone control and weather-resistant electronic ignition.

• Customizable Aesthetics: Available in a variety of hand-applied finishes and textures. While lava granules are included as a base, the wide bowl is ideal for showcasing decorative fire glass or volcanic stones.

Why Choose the 48-Inch GFRC Fire Bowl?

The 48-inch model is the "grand" size of the AFD fire bowl collection, offering the scale necessary to fill large outdoor spaces without being visually overwhelmed by the landscape. Because it hides the propane tank inside the base, it is an ideal luxury item that doesn't require the expense or permanence of a buried gas line. Its low-profile height keeps sightlines open, making it the perfect choice for placement in front of a view or as a central gathering point for large social circles.
