36-inch Bordeaux square fire bowl: a bigger hull-sided square with Bluetooth ignition
The American Fyre Designs 36-inch Bordeaux square fire bowl measures 36 inches square and 15 inches tall, with curved sides that taper like a boat hull to a small foot. It’s cast in glass fiber reinforced concrete for the look of stone at a fraction of the weight. It comes in seven colors, with a 16 inch stainless steel star burner beneath the square opening.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Turn the knob and press the igniter to light it, or add the Fyrestarter Bluetooth control and start it from your phone. The burner, pan, fittings, and lava granules are included, and you pick the fill on the page: lava, fire glass, or glass gems. A cover and a side table that hides a propane tank are optional.

FAQ
What are the Bordeaux Square Fire Bowl’s dimensions?
It is a 36-inch square standing 15.25 inches tall, and it leads the Bordeaux series. The mid-rise height lands between a low accent bowl and a chat-height piece: tall enough to register as a destination in the yard, low enough that seated guests see each other cleanly across the flame.
Which burner does the Bordeaux use, and on what fuel?
A 16-inch stainless steel star burner sits at the center of the square bowl, and you can order the Bordeaux in natural gas or propane versions to match your site’s fuel supply. The generous burner size relative to the 36-inch top gives the flame real presence, filling the bowl visually instead of flickering in the middle of it.
What ignition options does the Bordeaux offer?
You have two choices: the standard manual flame sensing control, or the optional Bluetooth-enabled FyreStarter electronic ignition. Both configurations are certified to ANSI standards, so the decision is purely about convenience – hands-on control at the bowl versus electronic starting. Pick whichever matches the way you actually use your patio on a weeknight.
Why is the Bordeaux cast in GFRC?
Because crisp geometry needs a material that can hold an edge. GFRC – glass fiber reinforced concrete – lets the Bordeaux’s square lines come out of the mold sharp and stay that way outdoors, since the material is weather-resistant by nature. Each bowl is handcrafted, and the finish you see is the finish it ships with – nothing left to seal, coat, or face on site.
How does a square fire bowl fit a modern hardscape?
Square reads architectural. If your outdoor space is built on straight lines – poured patios, rectangular pavers, board-formed walls – the Bordeaux repeats that language instead of interrupting it. Align its edges to the hardscape joints and it looks designed-in rather than placed. It leads a whole family of square fire pits built on the same logic.
Should fire glass completely cover the burner?
Cover it lightly, not deeply. A thin, even layer of glass over the burner hides the hardware and still lets flame rise cleanly through the bed – that is the look the glass exists for. What you want to avoid is depth: glass piled high over the ports makes lighting uneven and the flame lazy. When you can just barely no longer see metal, you are done.
Are square fire pits better than round ones?
Neither wins outright – they organize a space differently. Round invites a circle of chairs and suits organic, curved landscapes; square, like the Bordeaux, defines sides, so it pairs naturally with sectionals, benches, and rectilinear patios where the furniture already has a front and an edge. Choose the shape your seating plan wants to make, and the fire feature will feel inevitable.
