Bispo Fire Pit in Corten Steel: a slim oval fire pit with a living rust finish
The Outdoor Plus Bispo fire pit in Corten steel is a long, low gas fire pit with rounded ends and a slim 15-inch depth, handmade in the USA in 48, 60, 72, and 84 inch lengths. Corten starts out gray-brown and weathers into a rich, sealed rust that protects the steel beneath, with no paint or sealer needed.
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, stainless lid, wind guard, and fire glass are optional. Want to choose the color yourself? See the powder-coated Bispo. The Corten Bispo fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What draws people to the Corten Bispo?
The finish tells time. The Bispo’s Corten steel starts industrial gray-brown and earns a rich oxide patina season by season — a living surface that suits gardens and modern landscapes alike. Expect some rust-tinged wash-off during the first months, so mind adjacent pale hardscape while it matures.
What sizes does the Bispo come in?
Four generous rounds: 48, 60, 72, and 84 inches, SKUs OPT-BSPCS48 through OPT-BSPCS84. The 84-inch Bispo is a genuine gathering pit — the kind a dozen chairs can circle without anyone feeling far from the flame.
What equipment comes with it?
The complete gas package: fire pan, plate burner, mounting bracket, an orifice matched to your natural gas or propane order, and a whistle-free hose. From there it’s media on top and a licensed installer on the connection, and the Bispo is in business.
How much clearance from the house does it need?
Plan around 10 feet from structures and overhangs, then confirm with local code — and remember scale: an 84-inch Bispo needs that clearance measured from its rim, not its center. No embers to chase, but flame always wants ventilation and setback.
Will rain streak or ruin it?
Rain is an ingredient, not a threat — Corten’s protective patina literally forms through wet-dry cycling, so the Bispo weathers into itself outdoors. Let the pan and burner dry before lighting after storms, and avoid sealed covers that trap constant moisture against the steel.
Marshmallows over a gas flame — does it work?
Beautifully. The Bispo’s clean-burning flame gives you roasting heat with zero smoke in anyone’s eyes, and a 48- to 84-inch diameter means the whole crew roasts side by side instead of taking turns. Skewers up top; leave the hot lava rock be.
Is the Bispo built for propane or natural gas?
Built to order as either — declare liquid propane or natural gas at purchase and the Bispo ships configured. See how Corten’s raw character compares with our other finishes across the gas fire pit collection.
