Carmen Fire Pit in GFRC Concrete: a six-foot linear concrete fire pit in 18 finishes
The Outdoor Plus Carmen fire pit in GFRC concrete is a six-foot linear gas fire pit cast in the USA from a lightweight glass-fiber concrete. The color is cast all the way through in 18 finishes, and you can choose a low 16-inch height or a 24-inch height that hides a propane tank inside.
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 a wood look instead? See the Catalina fire pit. The concrete Carmen fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What are the two heights of the GFRC Carmen?
A low-slung 16-inch and a table-height 24-inch — SKUs OPT-CRM7216 and OPT-CRM7224. Same cast-concrete linear body either way; the 16-inch disappears elegantly into lounge settings while the 24-inch stands up to standard patio chairs.
What color range does the concrete Carmen offer?
A broad cast-in palette running from Ash, Black, and Bronze through Chestnut, Chocolate, Coffee, Limestone, Moss Stone, Natural Gray, Pearl, Rustic Gray, Rustic White, and Silver. Because the Carmen’s color is in the GFRC itself, it weathers gracefully rather than peeling.
Which ignition systems does the concrete Carmen offer?
All five: Match Lit, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), and Plug and Play (CSA certified). On a built-in-looking piece like the Carmen, many owners wire electronic ignition to a patio switch.
How do I put it out?
Turn the gas valve closed and the Carmen’s flame is gone — instantly, completely, nothing glowing at 2 a.m. It’s the one-second answer that makes a gas linear so much easier to live with than any wood fire of similar drama.
How much distance from the house does it need?
Plan roughly 10 feet from walls and overhangs for the Carmen, then confirm against local code — gas removes ember worry but not ventilation and setback rules. Its low linear profile helps with overhead clearance, especially in the 16-inch height.
Can the concrete Carmen be converted to another fuel later?
The Carmen is factory-built for the natural gas or liquid propane you specify at checkout, orifice included. If your supply situation changes later, contact us about your unit — fuel conversion isn’t a parts-swap to improvise on a linear burner.
Why GFRC instead of metal for the Carmen?
Mass and texture without the weight penalty — glass fiber reinforced concrete gives the Carmen a monolithic stone presence that metal versions express differently, at far less weight than true poured concrete. See the whole material family in our concrete fire pit collection.
