Grand Canyon 48 by 16 fire bowl: a wide concrete bowl with a 36-inch burner
The Grand Canyon Gas Logs 48 by 16 fire bowl is a wide, shallow round bowl, 48 inches across and 16 inches tall, with a thick rounded rim and sides that taper to a small flat base. It is cast in concrete reinforced with glass fibers, which looks like stone at a fraction of the weight. The surface is pitted like travertine stone, and you can choose from three stock colors or two custom colors that take four to six weeks. It is made in Phoenix, Arizona, and the photo shows it with the optional driftwood log set on top.
Order it for natural gas or propane. On the page you choose a 36 inch ring burner or a tee-pee burner; the burner, a 40 inch stainless disc, the gas orifice, the install kit, and the feet are included. The bowl needs about 190 pounds of fire glass or 70 pounds of lava rock to fill it, sold separately. An oak, driftwood, or birch log set, fire glass in seven colors, and a bowl cover are optional.

FAQ
What is the difference between the burner and the disc ring in the box?
They are two layers of one assembly. The burner – your chosen 36-inch fire ring or tee-pee – is the flame-carrying piece, while the 40-inch stainless steel disc ring is the wider hardware that installs with it inside the 48-inch basin. Both come standard with these propane fire bowls, alongside a gas orifice, a large install kit, and feet.
Will a couple of bags of fire glass be enough for this bowl?
Not close – the spec calls for 190 pounds of glass to fill the 48-inch basin, or 70 pounds if you run lava rock instead, and neither ships in the crate. The Fire Glass add-on on this page sells glass in 10-pound increments, so covering the full requirement takes nineteen of them. Budget the media as its own line item when pricing the project.
Why is an open-air bowl listed as a vented fire feature?
The spec’s installation row reads outdoor use only, outdoor vented fire feature, and the phrasing is about classification rather than hardware. Venting for this bowl is the open sky above it – there is no flue, chimney, or vent kit anywhere in the design. The label simply tells an installer what class of gas appliance is being placed and where it is allowed to live.
What does installing the bowl actually involve?
Less than the scale suggests. The crate holds the working parts – burner, disc ring, a gas orifice for your chosen fuel, a large install kit, and feet – and Grand Canyon publishes a Fire Bowl Installation Owners Manual on the Manuals tab that walks through the process. Your side of the job is an outdoor location and a gas supply; the manual governs the rest.
Which parts of the package are stainless steel?
The 40-inch disc ring is the piece Grand Canyon specifically lists as stainless – the metal component that lives closest to flame and weather. The basin around it is not metal at all but glass reinforced concrete, so the usual outdoor corrosion worries are answered by material choice, and the whole package is backed by the 5-year outdoor warranty on the spec sheet.
How many finishes does the 48-inch bowl come in?
Five in total. Charcoal Black, Gray with Black Wash, and White with Black Wash are stocked, while Bone and Rust are custom-made with a 4-to-6-week lead time. The stocked trio covers the neutral range most hardscapes ask for; the custom pair exists for projects where those three will not do. Each finish is listed with its color code on the spec sheet.
Can the bowl look like a log fire instead of a glass fire?
Yes. The page carries a Log Set add-on that places cast logs over the burner, shifting the bowl from a contemporary glass-media look to a burning-log character while the flame system underneath stays identical. It is an appearance decision rather than a mechanical one – the burner, the disc ring, and the media requirement on the spec sheet do not change either way.
