Carson Fire Pit, 16 inches tall: a low wood-look concrete fire pit like a fallen beam
The Outdoor Plus Carson fire pit in the 16-inch height is a low rectangular gas fire pit that reads like a timber beam with flame along its top, cast in the USA from GFRC, a glass-fiber concrete molded with real wood grain, in Ebony, Ivory, or Oak. It comes in 48 to 84 inch lengths.
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. Using regular patio chairs? The 24-inch-tall Carson stands taller. The 16-inch Carson fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What look is the 16-inch Carson going for?
A fallen timber beam holding fire — except the Carson is GFRC concrete cast with authentic wood grain texture, so the beam never burns. At 16 inches tall it sits low and horizontal, like a log settled into the landscape with flame running along its top.
Which sizes does the low Carson come in?
Four lengths at the 16-inch height: 48, 60, 72, and 84 inches — SKUs OPT-CRS4836LW through OPT-CRS8436LW. The longer you go, the more convincingly the Carson reads as a full architectural timber rather than a fire pit.
What colors can I choose?
Three cast-in wood tones: Ebony (-EBN) for charred-black drama, Ivory (-IVY) for a bleached driftwood effect, and Oak (-OAK) for warm natural grain. Because the Carson’s color runs through the GFRC, wear doesn’t expose a different material underneath.
How far from the house should it live?
Standard gas-feature spacing — about 10 feet from structures and overhangs, verified against local code. The Carson’s low 16-inch profile is generous with overhead clearance, but setbacks are measured from the rim of an 84-inch unit, so plan accordingly.
Can kids roast marshmallows over the Carson fire pit?
Yes — and over the Carson you get the campfire-log picture with none of the smoke. Clean propane or natural gas flame toasts marshmallows evenly; the low height puts the roasting line at a comfortable reach for kids under supervision.
How does the concrete handle rain?
Effortlessly — GFRC is a fully outdoor material and the Carson’s cast-in color won’t wash out. After weather, drain any pooled water and let the burner dry before lighting; a cover keeps the wood-grain texture clean through idle seasons.
What’s included and which fuel does it run?
Fire pan, plate burner, mounting bracket, fuel-matched orifice, and whistle-free hose — built to order for natural gas or liquid propane. The Carson family headlines the wood-look side of our concrete fire pit collection.
