Nile fire and water bowl: flame between twin waterfalls
The Outdoor Plus Nile fire and water bowl is handmade in the USA, a steeply angled square pyramid with rectangular flames over lava rock and water sheeting from two wide side spillways. Choose 30 or 36 inches across in hammered copper, stainless steel, or powder coat colors. Copper develops a blue-green patina outdoors.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. The pan, burner, copper scupper, hose, and lava rock are included; a key valve, propane tank enclosure, canvas cover, bullet burner upgrade, fire glass, and burner ornaments are optional. For a rounder square, try the Avalon twin spill bowl. The Nile fire and water bowl ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What finishes does the Nile fire and water bowl come in?
Three metals from one design: hammered copper, brushed stainless steel, and powder coat in 15 colors including Black, White, Silver Vein, Java, Gray, Pewter, Copper Vein, Olive Green, Mist, Soft White, Onyx Black, Bronze Hammertone, Sapphire Blue, White Vein and Gold Vein. Copper ages into a patina, stainless stays bright with zero upkeep, and powder coat matches the Nile to your palette.
What sizes and SKUs does the Nile bowl offer?
The Nile runs in 30-inch and 36-inch bowls – OPT-30NLCPF and OPT-36NLCPF in copper, with matching stainless (OPT-30NLSSF) and powder-coat (OPT-30NLPCF) versions. Every size is built to order for liquid propane or natural gas with match lit or electronic ignition.
What comes in the box with a Nile bowl?
Everything but the plumbing: the bowl, fire pan and plate, burner, copper scupper with a 3/4-inch male connection, nipple, lava rock, and your chosen ignition – match lit kit or the CSA-certified electronic system. Media upgrades like fire glass can go on top of the pan later.
Does the Nile work mounted on a swimming pool wall?
Yes – that is its natural habitat. The Nile sits on the bond beam or a raised wall, the scupper spills into the pool, and the burner rides above the waterline. It also works over spas and fountain basins; any fire bowl placement works if you skip the water hookup.
Can I run the water spill without lighting the fire?
Absolutely. The Nile’s scupper is fed by your pool circulation and the burner by its own gas line, so each runs independently. Daytime, most owners run water only; after dark, fire only or both together – the choice sits at your valve or control panel.
Which trade installs a bowl like the Nile?
Your pool contractor takes the lead – water feed, gas rough-in, and anchoring all land in their scope – with a licensed gas fitter making the final connection. If you are adding the Nile to an existing pool, expect some deck work to route the two lines.
Can a natural gas Nile be converted to propane later?
The Outdoor Plus builds each Nile to order for the fuel you specify at purchase, with the correct orifice installed – so decide NG or LP up front. If you have an existing unit and your fuel situation changed, contact us and we will help sort out options.
Fire and Water Bowl Features
The Outdoor Plus · American-made fire & water features
Fire and water, in one sculptural bowl
A fire & water bowl is two features in a single piece: a gas flame dancing above the rim, and a built-in scupper pouring a smooth ribbon of water into the pool below. By day it works as an elegant fountain; after dark the flame lights up the falling water and reflects across the whole pool.
Fire + water combinedNatural gas or propaneMatch lit or electronic
What’s included in your bowl 
Everything arrives ready to install
Match lit
The simplest system — open the gas and light the burner by hand. No electricity, nothing to wire. Burner, fire pan, lava rock, gas fittings and mounting hardware are all in the box.
Low-voltage electronic ignition
Start the flame from a switch, timer or home automation — a 12V system adds a pilot igniter and SWEIS valve, powered by the included low-voltage transformer.
Scupper & water line
Your pool’s circulation pump feeds the scupper for a clean, glassy arc of water back into the pool.
Whistle-free hose
A properly sized gas connector that eliminates humming — all you hear is fire and falling water.
Ventilating mounting plate
Anchors the bowl and ventilates the gas connection; proper installation keeps the warranty valid.
Gas orifice — NG or LP
NG bowls use a brass orifice under the burner; LP bowls use an air-mixer orifice for a clean, soot-free flame.
Ideas for your pool
Choose how the water falls
The scupper shapes the water as much as the bowl shapes the fire — and most bowls come in several spill styles: classic scupper, gravity spill, wide spill, twin & 4-way, 360° and wave. One bowl makes a focal point; a row transforms the backyard.

Finishes & good to know
Built to live outside
GFRC concrete
Glass-fiber reinforced — strong, lightweight, weather-resistant. 18 colors.
Wood grain concrete
Durable GFRC cast with a realistic wood-grain texture.
Hammered copper
Artisanal, long-lived, and nearly maintenance-free.
Stainless steel
Rust- and corrosion-resistant — ideal for coastal settings.
Powder coated metal
Tough finish for harsh environments — two dozen colors.
Propane? Use lava rock
Fire glass isn’t recommended with LP — propane is heavier than air and can pool under dense glass media.
Key valve placement
Key valves mount within arm’s reach of the burner — or add OPT-KVI for a factory-installed valve on the bowl.
Professional installation
Bowls tie into gas and pool plumbing; the mounting bracket must be properly installed for the warranty to apply.
Pick your fuel up front
Every bowl comes for natural gas or propane, with the correct orifice for the fuel you choose.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent
MP
Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10
G
Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
