Pismo Fire Pit in GFRC Concrete: a crisp rectangular concrete fire pit in 48 or 60 inches
The Outdoor Plus Pismo fire pit in GFRC concrete is a simple rectangular gas fire pit with crisp square corners and straight sides, 24 inches deep and 48 or 60 inches long, cast in the USA from a glass-fiber concrete that looks like solid poured stone at a fraction of the weight. It comes in 18 finishes, from smooth grays to rustic and metallic tones.
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, glass wind guard, bullet burner upgrade, and fire glass are optional. Prefer the same shape in metal? See the Corten steel Pismo. The concrete Pismo fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is the Pismo actually made of?
GFRC — glass fiber reinforced concrete. Fine glass fibers are cast throughout the mix, so the Pismo delivers the monolithic, poured-stone presence of a concrete bowl at a fraction of poured concrete weight, with better crack resistance to boot. It is the material that makes big concrete fire pits practical to own.
How many finishes are there?
Eighteen, from Ash and Natural Gray through Chestnut, Chocolate, and Coffee to Limestone, Rustic White, and Vanilla. The GFRC casting takes color beautifully, which is why the Pismo — like every concrete fire pit we carry from The Outdoor Plus — can match nearly any hardscape.
What sizes does the GFRC Pismo come in?
Two rounds: 48-inch (OPT-2448) and 60-inch (OPT-2460). The 48-inch Pismo suits a four-chair conversation circle; the 60-inch comfortably serves a larger seating arrangement or a sunken fire lounge. Both share the same low, clean-lined GFRC bowl profile.
Is it light enough for a raised deck?
Far lighter than it looks — that is the GFRC advantage. The Pismo carries the visual mass of solid concrete without the structural burden, which opens up deck and rooftop placements poured concrete could never attempt. Still verify load capacity, use a non-combustible surface, and follow spec sheet clearances on wood.
What is the right way to extinguish it?
Close the key valve — the Pismo flame stops with the gas, instantly and completely. There are no coals to soak and water should stay out of it entirely. Shut the tank or supply line afterward, and once the media is cool, cover the bowl to keep weather out.
Is it s’mores-friendly?
Very — the Pismo gives you a steady, smoke-free gas flame, so s’mores come out tasting of toasted marshmallow and chocolate with zero campfire ash. A round bowl means everyone toasts from their own seat. Keep the drips off the fire media and the GFRC rim and you are golden.
What ignition and fuel choices do I make at checkout?
Two decisions: fuel — Liquid Propane or Natural Gas, since each Pismo is built to order — and ignition, from Match Lit and Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified) to Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic, or Plug and Play (both CSA certified). We can help you match both to your site.
