Nebula Fire Sculpture in Corten Steel: a tall rust-finish egg-shaped cage with the fire inside
The Outdoor Plus Nebula fire sculpture in Corten steel is a tall, egg-shaped fire feature in a 30 or 36 inch size, built from many curved vertical fins with thin gaps between them and standing on a round base plate, so the fire burning low inside flickers out all around. 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.

FAQ
What is the Nebula Fire Sculpture’s signature effect?
A cloud of scattered cutouts — denser in places, sparser in others — so a wood fire inside the Nebula glows like its namesake: diffuse, layered, alive. The Corten steel version deepens to rust over its first season, turning the whole piece into burnished, glowing sculpture.
What sizes does the Corten Nebula come in?
Two, per the spec tab: 30-inch (TFL-NBLA30CSWB) and 36-inch (TFL-NBLA36CSWB). Both burn real wood and share the same perforation artwork; the 36-inch simply throws a wider light field and takes longer logs. Dimensions live on the linked spec sheet.
How do I get a clean-burning fire going in it?
Dry fuel, small start: kindling and a fire starter centered in the Nebula, then seasoned splits added as it strengthens. The perforated shell supplies steady airflow, so a properly dried load burns bright with little smoke — damp wood is what turns the show hazy.
Where should the ashes go afterward?
After the Nebula sits cold for a day, scoop the ash into a metal, lidded container — never plastic or paper — and park it on concrete away from walls. Cooled ash from clean hardwood is compost-friendly in moderation; treated or painted scrap never belongs in the fire at all.
How close to the house can I put the Nebula?
Keep 10 to 20 feet between a wood-burning Nebula and your home, and skip anything overhead — eaves, branches, shade sails. Your local fire code has the binding number. A hard, non-combustible pad under and around it finishes the safe setup.
Does Corten need sealing to stop the rust at a color I like?
You can, though most owners let the Nebula reach its natural chestnut patina, which self-stabilizes and protects the steel. If you love a mid-stage color, a matte clear sealer rated for high heat exteriors will slow further change — expect to refresh it periodically.
Is there a gas option for the Nebula?
Yes — beyond wood burning, the spec lists Match Lit, Fire Glow, Spark Glow, and Plug and Play (CSA certified) ignition, factory-built for liquid propane or natural gas. Either way the cutout glow survives; browse our wood burning fire pit collection to compare formats.
