Florence Fire Pit, 42 by 12 inches: a low round concrete fire pit
The Outdoor Plus Florence fire pit in the 42 by 12 inch size is the low-profile Florence, a round gas fire pit just 12 inches tall with the flame close to the ground. It is cast from GFRC, a glass-fiber concrete that looks like poured stone but weighs far less, handmade in the USA, and comes in 18 finishes.
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, and fire glass are optional. Want the flame higher? The 42 by 24 inch Florence doubles the height. The 42 by 12 inch Florence fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is GFRC, and why is the Florence made from it?
Glass fiber reinforced concrete — a mix cast with embedded glass fibers that delivers the mass and stone-like surface of poured concrete at a fraction of the weight. It is why the 42-inch Florence can be maneuvered onto a patio without machinery, and why this concrete fire pit comes in 18 finishes from Ash to Vanilla.
How tall is this version of the Florence?
Just 12 inches — this is the low-profile member of the family (SKU OPT-FL42), a 42-inch bowl that keeps the flame near the ground for a modern, horizon-hugging look. If you want the same footprint at seating height, the 42 by 24-inch Florence is the taller sibling.
What ignition options can I choose?
The full slate of 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). For a low bowl like this Florence, many buyers keep it simple with Match Lit; the electronic systems add convenience and monitoring.
Is a concrete fire pit too heavy for a raised deck?
Not this one — GFRC weighs far less than traditional poured concrete, which is exactly why the Florence works where solid concrete would not. Being gas, it also drops no embers. You still need proper clearances and heat protection for wood decking, so check the spec sheet and local code.
How hot does the 42-inch Florence burn?
The gas flame itself exceeds 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and the GFRC bowl of the Florence is engineered to take that heat season after season. What reaches your seating is adjustable — open the valve for warmth on cold nights, or run a lower flame for ambiance in summer.
Can I stand it on an outdoor rug?
Set the Florence on a hard, non-combustible surface instead — concrete, stone, or pavers. A 12-inch-tall bowl keeps the burner close to the ground, so radiant heat reaches whatever sits directly beneath and around the base. Save the rug for the conversation area a few feet away.
Which fuel does the Florence OPT-FL42 run on?
Built to order for either — you specify Liquid Propane or Natural Gas when you purchase OPT-FL42, and the Florence arrives configured for that fuel. Propane suits patios without plumbing; a natural gas connection should be run and leak-tested by a licensed installer.
