Eaves Fire Pit in Corten Steel: a slim, low fire trough that weathers to rust
The Outdoor Plus Eaves fire pit in Corten steel is a long, narrow, very low gas fire pit that lays a thin ribbon of flame along a wall or pool edge in a 48, 60, or 72 inch length, handmade in the USA. Corten arrives raw and builds its own warm russet skin over months of wet and dry weather, and that skin protects the steel for good.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. A key valve, canvas cover, stainless lid, bullet burner upgrade, and fire glass are optional. Prefer a color that stays put? See the powder-coated Eaves. The Corten Eaves fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why does the Eaves Fire Pit look rusty on purpose?
That’s Corten — a weathering steel that forms its own protective oxide skin instead of paint. The Eaves arrives raw and develops a warm russet patina over months of wet-dry cycles; early on it can shed rust-tinted run-off, so keep it off pale stone while it cures.
What sizes and SKUs does the Eaves come in?
Three lengths — 48, 60, and 72 inches — under SKUs OPT-LBTCS48, OPT-LBTCS60, and OPT-LBTCS72. Same Corten construction throughout, so the choice is purely about how much presence your patio can carry.
What ignition systems are offered on the Corten Eaves?
The complete slate: Match Lit, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), and Plug and Play (CSA certified). The Eaves in Match Lit form is beautifully simple; the electronic versions add push-button convenience.
Does rain hurt Corten steel?
The opposite — rain is part of the finish process. Corten needs alternating wet and dry spells to build its stable patina, so the Eaves genuinely improves outdoors. Just let the burner and pan dry before lighting, and don’t trap standing water under a tarp.
How close to the house can it sit?
Hold roughly 10 feet from walls, fences, and overhangs as a baseline for a gas pit, then defer to local code. The 72-inch Eaves throws a wide flame line, so give it generous breathing room overhead as well as around the sides.
Is marshmallow roasting good over the Corten Eaves burner?
Yes — gas flame is clean, so marshmallows over the Eaves pick up caramel, not smoke. The long 48- to 72-inch burner line is actually a bonus: several roasters can spread out along it instead of crowding one flame point.
Does the Corten Eaves burn propane or natural gas?
Whichever your space runs — every Eaves is built to order for liquid propane or natural gas, specified at purchase. Corten’s raw industrial character has made it one of the most-requested finishes in our gas fire pit collection.
