30-inch Bordeaux square fire bowl: curved hull sides on a small foot
The American Fyre Designs 30-inch Bordeaux square fire bowl has softly curved sides that sweep down like a boat hull to a small recessed base. It measures 30 inches square and 12 inches tall. It is cast in concrete reinforced with glass fibers, which looks like stone at a fraction of the weight, and comes in seven colors.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Turn the knob and press the igniter to light it; this size comes with the manual control only. A 16-inch stainless steel star burner fills the square opening with flame. The burner, pan, fittings, and lava granules are included, and you pick the fill on the page: lava, fire glass, or glass gems. A side table that hides a propane tank is optional.

FAQ
What size is the 30-inch Bordeaux Square Fire Bowl?
The bowl measures 30 inches on each side and stands 12.25 inches tall, making it the compact entry in the Bordeaux square lineup. That lower stance keeps it close to coffee-table scale, so it slots into a seating group without dominating the space the way taller fire features can.
Should I choose the 30-inch or the 36-inch Bordeaux Square?
Go by the room you have and the presence you want. The 30-inch version stands 12.25 inches tall and suits tighter layouts, while the 36-inch rises to 15.25 inches and reads as more of a destination piece. Both share the crisp Bordeaux geometry, so compare them alongside the other square gas fire pits in the collection before deciding.
Is the burner oversized for a bowl this small?
It is generous by design. A 16-inch stainless steel star burner sits inside the 30-inch square, so the flame occupies a big share of the opening and gives the little Bordeaux a surprisingly full fire. The display is tuned for ambiance – a warm, welcoming glow rather than a roaring blaze that would overwhelm a compact patio.
Does the 30-inch Bordeaux run on natural gas or propane?
Both fuels are offered – you order the version that matches your setup. Choose natural gas if a line already serves the patio, or propane where running a line is impractical. Either way the bowl itself is identical: handcrafted GFRC outside, with the same 16-inch star burner delivering the flame inside.
Is there a safety certification behind this fire bowl?
Yes, the 30-inch Bordeaux is certified to ANSI standards, the benchmark for gas appliance safety in the United States. That certification covers the fire bowl as an engineered gas product rather than a decorative shell, which is worth checking on any fire feature before you buy – not every outdoor unit on the market carries it.
Is a 30-inch fire bowl big enough for a small patio?
It is often the right call, not a compromise. On a small patio an oversized fire feature crowds the furniture and the walkways; the 30-inch Bordeaux leaves circulation space while still anchoring the seating. Two to four chairs gather around it comfortably, and its square edges align neatly with pavers and patio lines.
Is any assembly required when the Bordeaux arrives?
No building and no finishing. The bowl is handcrafted from glass fiber reinforced concrete and ships as one completed, weather-resistant piece – the surface you unwrap is the final surface. Set it in position, have a qualified professional make the gas connection, and the Bordeaux is ready for its first evening.
