Bastille Fire Tower: a riveted steel obelisk with a torch bowl on top
The Outdoor Plus Bastille fire tower is a tall four-sided gas fire tower with a tapered, riveted lower body, oval medallions on each face, and an openwork flared cage above it that holds a round bowl where the flame burns. It is handmade in the USA, and the page lets you pick hammered copper, which deepens into a warm patina, or Corten steel, which weathers to a protective rust finish.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. Already have a column? The Bastille column ornament is the torch top on its own. The Bastille fire tower ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why does the Bastille Fire Tower mix corten steel and copper?
Because the two metals age in conversation – the Bastille’s corten develops its rusty, protective weathered skin while the copper accents deepen into patina, so the tower looks better at year five than day one. It is a living-finish piece: nothing about it stays factory-new, on purpose.
What SKUs and options does the Bastille come with?
The Bastille Fire Tower is ordered under OPT-FTWR2 or OPT-FTWR3, configured for liquid propane or natural gas at purchase, with your choice of match lit or electronic ignition. Full dimensions are on the manufacturer’s specification sheet – ask us and we will send it over.
Will the Bastille’s corten stain my patio?
It can, early on – as fresh corten weathers, runoff may tint pale concrete or stone beneath the tower. Let a new Bastille season over gravel or a sacrificial surface for its first months, or set it on a dark base material where any wash simply disappears.
What is a fire tower, exactly?
A vertical gas flame feature – where a fire pit spreads flame low and wide, a tower like the Bastille sends it upward as a standing column of light. Towers work as landscape punctuation: gate markers, terrace corners, focal points seen from indoors across the garden.
How should I light the Bastille – match or electronic?
Both are offered. Match lit keeps the Bastille simple and power-free; electronic ignition lets the tower fire from a switch or control system, which is worth it when it stands away from the house. Pick at order time, since the ignition is built in.
Does the Bastille pair with other aging-metal fire features?
Beautifully – its copper element ties straight into a hammered copper fire pit at seating level, patina answering patina, while the corten body plays against wood and stone. Weathered-metal pieces make a yard feel collected rather than bought.
Can the Bastille Fire Tower stay out in the rain?
Yes – weather is literally part of the design, feeding the corten’s protective layer and the copper’s patina. Shut off the gas during storms, since rain can extinguish the flame, and let the burner dry before relighting the Bastille. No cover needed unless you want to slow the aging.
