Mabel Fire Pit in Corten Steel: a round pedestal fire table with a weathered finish
The Outdoor Plus Mabel fire pit in Corten steel is a round, table-height gas fire pit on a cylindrical pedestal, with a wide flat top around a small center burner, handmade in the USA in 36, 48, and 60 inch sizes. Corten rusts on purpose and then stops: it forms a warm, earthy russet skin that protects the steel underneath, with no painting or sealing ever needed.
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 you choose? See the powder-coated Mabel. The Corten Mabel fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why would anyone buy a fire pit that rusts?
Because Corten rusts on purpose and then stops — the oxide layer it forms is the protection. The Corten Mabel trades shiny-metal looks for a warm, earthen russet surface that only gets richer outdoors, with zero painting, sealing, or refinishing across its whole life. It is weathering as a design choice.
Will the weathering stain the surface underneath?
During the first months, it can — rain rinsing over curing Corten carries oxide that may tint pale concrete or pavers below the Mabel. Options: let it pre-weather on gravel, place it over dark stone, or simply accept a shadow ring as part of the industrial aesthetic.
What sizes does the Corten Mabel come in?
36-inch (OPT-MABCS36), 48-inch (OPT-MABCS48), and 60-inch (OPT-MABCS60). Corten reads visually heavy in the best way, so the mid-size 48-inch Mabel is the crowd-pleaser — big enough to anchor seating, compact enough not to dominate a modest terrace.
Are fire pits like this allowed in city backyards?
Generally yes — as a gas unit, the Mabel avoids the smoke complaints and burn bans that limit wood fires in urban areas. Local codes still dictate setbacks from structures and property lines, and HOAs may add rules, so confirm both before siting it. Gas line work needs a licensed pro.
Fire glass or lava rock with a Corten finish?
Lava rock is the natural pick — its charcoal texture plays into the raw, elemental character of the Corten Mabel. Fire glass works too and creates deliberate contrast: polished sparkle against weathered steel. Performance is identical, so let the design language of your space decide.
Can a natural gas Mabel become a propane one later?
The intended path is choosing correctly upfront — The Outdoor Plus builds each Mabel to order for Liquid Propane or Natural Gas at purchase. If your installation changes down the road, contact us about your existing unit rather than swapping parts yourself; we will advise on options.
What does it cost to run?
Less than most people guess. The Mabel sips or gulps depending on flame height: ambiance-level burns stretch a 20-pound propane tank across multiple evenings, while natural gas — common under fire pit table installations like this — costs a fraction of propane per hour once the line is in.
