Florence Fire Pit, 42 by 24 inches: a round concrete fire pit at coffee-table height
The Outdoor Plus Florence fire pit in the 42 by 24 inch size is a round gas fire pit that stands 24 inches tall, so the flame sits at coffee-table height beside standard patio chairs. It is cast from GFRC, a lightweight glass-fiber concrete with the look of solid stone, handmade in the USA, and offered 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. Same footprint, lower flame? See the 12-inch-tall Florence. The 42 by 24 inch Florence fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the 24-inch height change about the Florence?
Presence, mostly. This version (OPT-FL4224) keeps the same 42-inch diameter as the low-profile Florence but doubles the height to 24 inches, lifting the flame to coffee-table level where it is visible across the yard and sits naturally beside standard patio seating. Same GFRC construction, taller stance.
Which finish colors are available?
Eighteen GFRC finishes, and the range is genuinely broad — stone-inspired tones like Limestone, Moss Stone, and Rustic Gray alongside deep Chocolate and Chestnut, plus metallic-leaning Bronze, Copper, and Silver. The taller Florence shows a lot of surface, so the finish choice matters more here than on low bowls.
Do I have to light it with a match?
Only if you want to. Match Lit is the base system, but this Florence can also be ordered with Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), or Plug and Play (CSA certified) — the last two give push-button convenience.
Can we roast marshmallows over the 24-inch-tall Florence?
Yes — a clean-burning gas flame is arguably better for marshmallows than wood, since there is no smoke flavor or flying ash. The 24-inch-tall Florence puts the flame at a comfortable reach for seated toasting. Keep drips off the fire media, and keep skewers above the flame tips.
Are backyard fire pits legal where I live?
Gas units like this Florence are permitted in most residential areas and usually escape wood-burning bans, but every city writes its own rules on setbacks, and HOAs add their own. A quick call to your local fire authority settles it. Natural gas hookups typically require a licensed installer and permit.
Can the taller 24-inch Florence go under cover?
Sometimes — with an open-sided structure, ample overhead clearance, and real airflow, some installations pass code. The taller 24-inch Florence puts the flame closer to a low ceiling than a low-profile bowl would, so measure carefully against the specification sheet clearances and confirm with your local inspector first.
Does it come in propane and natural gas?
One or the other, built to order — specify Liquid Propane or Natural Gas at purchase and OPT-FL4224 ships configured for it. That is standard across our gas fire pit selection from The Outdoor Plus, so there is no field conversion to fuss with on delivery day.
