Billow Fire Pit: a wave-shaped metal fire pit inspired by California surf
The Outdoor Plus Billow fire pit is a long, low gas fire pit whose whole body rolls in an S-curve like the California surf that inspired it, with a straight burner trough along the top. It is handmade in the USA in 60 or 72 inch lengths, in hammered copper, Corten steel, stainless steel, or powder-coated steel in many colors.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. The burner, pan, hose, and fittings are included; a key valve, cover, and fire glass are optional. Like the wave but want wood-look concrete? See the Big Sur fire pit. The Billow fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What finish personalities does the Billow come in?
Four, spanning the whole metal spectrum: hammered copper that patinas with age, Corten steel that weathers to sealed rust, ever-bright stainless, and powder coat in colors from Black and Copper Vein through Java, Pewter, Silver Vein, Smooth Gray, and White. Same Billow underneath — wildly different characters.
How big is the Billow Fire Pit?
Big — your choice of 60 or 72 inches, with SKUs like OPT-BLWCPR60 for copper and OPT-BLWPC72 for powder coat marking finish and diameter. Either size is built to be the anchor of a seating circle rather than an accent piece.
What ignition systems can I order on it?
Match Lit, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), and Plug and Play (CSA certified). For a Billow in a windy or exposed spot, the flame-sensing options add real peace of mind.
How much warmth does it actually put out?
The flame burns beyond 1,000 degrees at its core, and a 60- or 72-inch burner spread like the Billow’s pushes usable radiant heat across a full circle of chairs. You tune it at the valve — ambient flicker on mild nights, full output when the temperature drops.
Is an outdoor rug under it acceptable?
No — keep soft goods out from under the Billow. It’s a heavy metal appliance radiating heat downward as well as out, and it belongs on pavers, concrete, or stone. Rugs do their job at the seating ring, several feet clear of the pit.
Do I need permission for a backyard fire pit?
For gas, rarely more than standard permits — the Billow produces no smoke or embers, so it’s typically welcome even where wood fires face bans. Your checklist is local setback rules, HOA guidelines, and a licensed installer for the gas connection.
What does it include, and which gas does it run?
Each Billow ships with fire pan, plate burner, mounting bracket, matched NG or LP orifice, and whistle-free hose — built to order for the fuel you choose. Compare both sizes and all four finishes in our gas fire pit collection.
