Cesto Fire Pit: a round basket-style steel fire pit in 48 or 60 inches
The Outdoor Plus Cesto fire pit is a round gas fire pit whose sides are an open cage of thin vertical steel rods, like a basket, topped by a solid flat ring for drinks. Part of the Black and White Collection, it comes in a 48 or 60 inch size, and a propane tank can sit right inside the cage.
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, fittings, and lava rock are included; a key valve, cover, stainless lid, and fire glass are optional. Prefer solid sides? See the Tempe fire pit from the same collection. The Cesto fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is the Cesto’s Black and White Collection styling?
The Cesto belongs to The Outdoor Plus’s monochrome design line — the -BWC suffix on its SKUs — rendered in a graphic black-and-white powder-coat treatment. It’s the fire pit as modern object: bold contrast by day, a dramatic silhouette around the flame by night.
What sizes does the Cesto come in?
Two: 48 and 60 inches, SKUs OPT-CSTO48-BWC and OPT-CSTO60-BWC. The 48-inch fits mid-size patios without crowding; the 60-inch earns centerpiece status in larger courtyards. Both share identical construction and the same match-lit burner system.
Why does the Cesto only offer match lit ignition?
It’s the design’s one deliberate simplicity: open the valve, touch a long lighter to the burner, enjoy. No wiring, transformers, or sensors to install or maintain — a clean mechanical system that suits the Cesto’s sculptural, no-fuss character.
How much heat does it produce?
Gas flame exceeding 1,000 degrees at the source, radiating outward across the Cesto’s 48- or 60-inch spread — enough to genuinely warm a ring of seating, with the valve as your dimmer from ambiance to output. Surfaces run hot during and after burns.
Can I put a fire pit in my backyard legally?
Gas units like the Cesto are permitted nearly everywhere residential fire features are allowed — no smoke, no embers, no burn-ban conflicts in most jurisdictions. Confirm your municipality’s setback rules and any HOA design review, and use a licensed installer for the gas line.
How does the finish cope with weather?
The Cesto’s powder coat is oven-cured for outdoor duty — rain and sun won’t lift it, and the white sections stay white with an occasional wash. Let the burner dry after storms before lighting, and cover the pit for long idle stretches.
What’s in the box, and which gas does it burn?
Fire pan, plate burner, mounting bracket, fuel-matched orifice, whistle-free hose, and lava rock — with the Cesto built to order for natural gas or liquid propane. See it beside the rest of the Black and White pieces in our gas fire pit collection.
