Avalon Fire Bowl in concrete: a tapered square fire bowl in 18 colors
The Outdoor Plus Avalon fire bowl in GFRC concrete is a square gas fire bowl whose sides taper gently toward the base. GFRC is concrete reinforced with glass fibers, so it has the look of solid stone at far less weight. Pick a 24, 30, or 36 inch bowl and one of 18 colors.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. The fire pan, burner, mounting bracket, hose, fittings, and lava rock are included; a key valve, canvas cover, and fire glass are optional. Want copper or stainless instead? See the Avalon fire bowl in metal. The Avalon fire bowl ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What exactly is GFRC on the Avalon Fire Bowl?
Glass fiber reinforced concrete: concrete cast with fine glass fibers running through it, giving the mass and texture of stone at a fraction of the weight. Two people can position an Avalon that solid poured concrete would need equipment to move, and it handles freeze-thaw cycles outdoors without complaint.
Which diameters does the Avalon fire bowl come in?
Three diameters, 24, 30, and 36-inch, under SKUs OPT-AVLFO24, OPT-AVLFO30, and OPT-AVLFO36. All share the wide-mouth profile the Avalon is known for, in GFRC finishes running from Ash and Limestone through Moss Stone and Natural Gray.
What ignition options does the Avalon offer?
Three tiers: classic Match Lit, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC Certified, which cuts the gas if the flame goes out), and Low Voltage Electronic (CSA Certified) for switch-controlled lighting. You choose at order time, along with a Liquid Propane or Natural Gas build.
What parts come with it?
Fire pan and plate, burner, mounting bracket, NG or LP orifice, whistle-free hose, and lava rock: the entire working core of this concrete fire pit arrives with the Avalon, ready for your installer to plumb in.
Am I allowed a gas fire bowl in my backyard?
In most municipalities, yes. Gas features are commonly permitted where wood fires are restricted, because they make no smoke, sparks, or embers. The Avalon does need a proper gas connection, so a permit for the line may apply; one call to your building department settles it.
How much gas will it burn through?
Roughly comparable to a large gas grill running on high. A standard twenty-pound propane tank feeds a bowl the Avalon’s size for several hours at full flame, and dialing the burner down stretches that considerably. On natural gas you will see only a modest bump in the utility bill.
Can I set the Avalon on an outdoor rug?
Not directly. Even though GFRC insulates better than metal, the bowl base and radiant spill can scorch synthetic fibers. Keep the Avalon on pavers, concrete, or stone, and let the rug define your seating zone a few feet back from the flame.
Fire Bowls Features
The Outdoor Plus — American Made Fire & Water Features
Fire Bowls
Hand-crafted gas fire bowls that turn pool walls, pilasters and patios into the warmest place in the backyard.
A fire bowl is a sealed gas fire feature — a sculptural bowl with a built-in burner that runs on natural gas or liquid propane. No firewood, no embers, no smoke chasing your guests around the patio: turn the key and you have instant, controllable flame. Every bowl in this collection is hand-made in the USA by The Outdoor Plus and arrives with the complete burner system already in the bowl.
Straight from the factory
What’s Included in Your Bowl
Every fire bowl ships as a complete kit — bowl, burner, fire pan, lava rock and plumbing. The only choice you need to make is how you want to light it.
Match Lit / Manual Ignition
The classic setup: open the key valve and light the burner by hand. Nothing electric to wire or maintain — the simplest and most affordable way to run a fire bowl.
- Lava rock media & stainless burner
- Fire pan with coupling
- Gas orifice (Natural Gas or Liquid Propane)
- Whistle-free flex hose
- Ventilating mounting plate
Low Voltage / Electronic Ignition
Flip a switch — or wire it into your pool controls — and the pilot igniter lights the bowl for you. Every electronic ignition system runs on a safe low-voltage transformer.
- Everything in the match lit kit, plus:
- Pilot igniter for push-button starts
- SWEIS electronic ignition valve
- Low-voltage transformer
Before you order
Good to Know
Natural Gas
NG bowls come with a brass orifice mounted directly under the burner. Plan the gas run so the key valve sits within arm’s reach of the bowl.
Liquid Propane
LP bowls use a brass air-mixer orifice that blends air into the propane for a cleaner-burning flame — no soot staining the bowl or the deck around it.
Lava Rock, Not Glass, for LP
Skip fire glass on propane bowls. Propane is heavier than air and can pool under dense glass media — lava rock lets it breathe. On natural gas, glass is fair game.
Mounting & Ventilation
Bowls ship with a ventilating mounting bracket that anchors the bowl and lets the enclosure breathe. Install it properly — it’s required to keep the warranty valid.
Where fire bowls shine
Designed for the Backyard
Fire bowls belong wherever you want light, warmth and drama — on pool walls and pilasters, flanking steps and spas, or standing alone on a patio pedestal or garden column.
One bowl makes a focal point; a matched pair frames a view; a row down the pool wall turns the whole backyard into a resort. Because every bowl runs on your gas line, the flame is instant, adjustable and clean — no wood to haul, no embers, no smoke.
Fill it your way: lava rock is included, or dress natural gas bowls with fire glass in dozens of colors for a jewel-like glow.

Materials & Finishes
GFRC Concrete
Glass-fiber reinforced concrete — the strength of cast concrete at a fraction of the weight, highly resistant to weathering, erosion and heat. Offered in smooth, rustic and metallic finishes from Ash to Vanilla.
Powder Coated Steel
Steel bowls sealed in tough powder-coat finishes engineered for harsh outdoor environments — from Matte Black and Java to White, Copper Vein and Sapphire Blue.
Hammered Copper
Hand-hammered copper with a timeless reddish-brown patina. Long-lived, artisanal, an excellent heat conductor — and it only looks better as it ages.
Stainless Steel
Sleek, modern and virtually immune to rust and corrosion — the right choice for coastal and humid climates, with high heat tolerance for years of safe use.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
