Martillo Fire Pit: a 48-inch round metal fire pit with a Spanish accent
The Outdoor Plus Martillo fire pit is a 48-inch round gas fire pit with a Spanish-Colonial feel, handmade in the USA. Martillo means hammer, and the signature version is hand-hammered copper that slowly turns a soft blue-green outdoors. You can also order it in Corten steel, stainless steel, or powder-coated steel in many colors.
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, bullet burner upgrade, fire glass, and decorative burner ornaments are optional. Want something smaller? The Vista fire pit is a 24-inch square with the same metal choices. The Martillo fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does Martillo mean, and why the name?
Martillo is Spanish for hammer — fitting, because the signature version of this 48-inch fire pit is hand-hammered copper, its surface built from thousands of individual hammer strikes. Those facets scatter firelight beautifully at night, and the copper beneath them will patina gracefully for decades without ever rusting.
Which finishes does the Martillo come in?
Four: the namesake hammered copper (OPT-48RM), stainless steel (OPT-48RMSS), Corten steel (OPT-48RMCS), and powder coat (OPT-48RMPC48). One 48-inch design throughout — you are choosing the metal story: living copper, weathering Corten, steady stainless, or color-matched powder coat.
How many ignition options does the Martillo have?
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). A Match Lit Martillo lights with a key valve and long lighter; the CSA-certified systems automate it to a button.
What are the steps to first light the Martillo?
Have your licensed installer confirm the gas connection, then — on a Match Lit Martillo — open the key valve about a quarter turn and touch a long-stemmed lighter to the burner through the media. The flame catches immediately; set your height at the valve and you are done.
Is it good for s’mores nights?
Excellent for them — the Martillo clean gas flame toasts marshmallows evenly with no smoke or ash, and a 48-inch round bowl lets several people work skewers at once. Keep the sugar drips off the hammered rim and fire media, and dessert stays civilized.
Will it keep us warm in cooler months?
Yes — the Martillo produces true gas-fire heat, with flame cores past 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and a metal body that radiates once warmed. Run the key valve high on frosty evenings and the 48-inch bowl comfortably extends patio season well into the shoulder months.
How is fuel decided at purchase?
You specify Liquid Propane or Natural Gas when ordering and the Martillo is built to that configuration — the same approach as every copper fire pit we carry. Propane offers placement freedom; a plumbed natural gas line offers endless, cheaper runtime.
