Aurora Fire Sculpture in Corten Steel: a flared rust-finish basket of steel staves
The Outdoor Plus Aurora fire sculpture in Corten steel is a flared, cone-shaped fire feature in a 36 or 48 inch size, taller than it is wide, built from tapered vertical staves that splay outward at the rim with a band midway up, so the fire glows out through the gaps. Corten forms its own protective rust-colored skin outdoors, with no paint or sealer needed.
Burn firewood in it as it comes, or order it as a gas feature for natural gas or propane and light it with a match or a push-button igniter. Decorative gas burner ornaments are optional.

FAQ
What is distinctive about the Aurora Fire Sculpture’s shape?
The Aurora is cut with sweeping, northern-lights-inspired ribbons, so firelight streams out in waves rather than dots. In Corten steel those ribbons weather to a deep rust patina, and the contrast of glowing cutouts against aged steel is the whole show after sunset.
Which sizes can I order the Corten Aurora in?
Two: 36-inch (TFL-AUR36CSWB) and 48-inch (TFL-AUR48CSWB). The 36-inch Aurora fits tighter courtyards; the 48-inch throws a bigger light pattern and suits open lawns. Both share the same weathering-steel construction and cutout artwork.
Is the Aurora wood burning, and can it also run on gas?
It is a wood burner first — real logs and embers behind those ribbon cutouts. The spec tab also lists Match Lit through Plug and Play (CSA certified) gas ignition for liquid propane or natural gas, so you can order your Aurora configured for gas instead.
How should I put out a fire in the Aurora?
Let the wood burn down to coals, spread them across the Aurora’s base, then soak with water until the hissing stops — stir and soak once more. Skip the temptation to just walk away; Corten handles the water fine, and cold-out is the only safe overnight state.
Can I set the Aurora on a wood deck?
We would not put any wood-burning feature directly on a wood deck — embers and radiant heat are real risks. Set the Aurora on stone, concrete, or pavers instead. If deck placement is essential, consider ordering it gas-configured and use a rated non-combustible barrier.
Where do the ashes go when I clean it out?
Once the Aurora is stone cold, shovel ashes into a lidded metal bucket and store it on concrete away from structures for a couple of days. Fully cooled ash from untreated firewood makes decent garden amendment; anything with charcoal briquettes or treated wood goes to the trash.
Does rain hurt the Corten finish?
No — wet-dry cycles are exactly what builds Corten’s protective patina, so the Aurora is happy outside year-round. Just mind two things: allow drainage so water never pools inside, and expect some rusty runoff on light-colored surfaces during the first season of weathering, like any wood burning fire pit in weathering steel.
