Galaxy Fire Sculpture in Corten Steel: a low rust-finish bowl of curved steel staves
The Outdoor Plus Galaxy fire sculpture in Corten steel is a low, round fire feature in a 30, 36, or 48 inch size, built from curved steel staves with narrow gaps between them, so the fire glows out through the sides as well as the top. It sits directly on the ground, and Corten forms its own protective rust-colored skin outdoors with no paint or sealer needed.
Burn firewood in it as it comes, or order it as a gas feature for natural gas or propane and light it with a match or a push-button igniter. Decorative gas burner ornaments are optional. Want a finish that stays bright? See the Galaxy in stainless steel. The Corten Galaxy fire sculpture ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What happens when you light a fire inside the Galaxy?
The whole point of the Galaxy is its star-field of cutouts — with real logs burning inside, every opening becomes a flickering point of light, like a constellation you can warm your hands over. The Corten steel shell weathers to a dark rust that makes the stars pop harder.
How many sizes does the Corten Galaxy come in?
Three, per the spec tab (SKUs TFL-GLXY24CSWB, TFL-GLXY30CSWB, TFL-GLXY36CSWB). The listed dimensions vary between the tab and sheet, so check the linked Galaxy spec sheet — or ask us — to confirm exact diameter before ordering the size for your space.
How should I build the first fire in it?
Season the Galaxy gently: a small kindling fire first to burn off manufacturing residue, then work up to full loads of dry, split hardwood. Stack loosely so air moves through the cutouts — the perforated Corten shell gives this sculpture a natural chimney draw.
What about sparks coming through all those cutouts?
The openings are small, so the Galaxy contains its fire far better than an open bowl, but hot embers can still pop. Keep it on stone or gravel with a few feet of hard surface around, and burn seasoned hardwood — wet or resinous wood is what spits.
Can the Galaxy be ordered as a gas feature?
Yes. Alongside wood burning, the spec lists Match Lit, Fire Glow, Spark Glow, and Plug and Play (CSA certified) ignition with liquid propane or natural gas, built to your order. Gas keeps the constellation effect with zero ash — a popular pick for wood burning fire pit lovers gone low-maintenance.
Do I need permission for a wood fire feature like this?
Often no permit is needed for a contained recreational fire, but every jurisdiction writes its own rules on setbacks and burn-ban days. A quick call to your local fire department before the Galaxy ships answers it definitively — mention it is a contained steel wood burner.
How hot does the Galaxy get while burning?
A loaded wood fire easily exceeds 1000 degrees F at the coals, and the Corten shell of the Galaxy becomes untouchably hot in use. Radiant warmth extends several feet — wonderful in fall — so seat guests back a comfortable distance and never let kids touch the shell.
